The Beatles - I Am The Walrus/ Hello Goodbye 

Original American Pr0m0 Copy

 Capitol Records P-2056

This version of I Am The Walrus has the extra bar before the line "Yellow Matter Custard" that is not found on the US LP.

Picture Sleeve in Very Good + condition

I try to grade as accurately and with as much detail as possible. I will mention any flaws that I find, as no record is absolutely perfect! 

Record:

I play graded the 45 from start to finish on a modest high end system. Playgrade was very good to very good plus. Surface noise could be heard at the lead in and during the quietest of passages, but there were no deep scratches or loud clicks or pops on the 45.  The dynamics and bottom end, full and powerful. 

Visual:

The record displays some sleeve marks on both sides, but they are mostly superficial, and are silent during playback. There are some deeper ones that are audible, but no deep scratches. The labels were clean and vibrant in color. 

Cover:

The picture sleeve is in very good + condition. It shows some ringwear and the lower corners are slightly wrinkled.  Some minor wrinkles at the pocket opening.

I playgraded using a Benz Glider, Nottingham Horizon SE turntable w/ SAMA, Rega RB 600 tonearm, VanAlstine Transcendence 5 pure vacuum tube preamp, MacCormack DNA-1 amp w/ Platinum upgrade, and Bower & Wilkins DM-604 speakers. Biwired with Audioquest Mammoth on low end  and Audioquest live wires on upper end. Granite Audio Silver interconnects, Incognito tonearm wiring, and Express Heavyweight counterbalance, and a Ringmat Mark III platter.

Overall a very collectable copy of scarce 45 - hard to find in this condition. Sleeve is also nice.

Record will be shipped in strong mailer with LP & cover separated to prevent from damage to cover. I will also pack with cardboard stiffeners for extra protection. I will ensure that this LP is packed very carefully.
