VINYL: VERY GOOD -  OVERALL THE AUDIO PLAYBACK IS VERY GOOD / EXCELLENT. A FEW SURFACE MARKS ARE VISIBLE AND A QUIET AUDIBLE CRACKLE IS OCCASIONALLY, THOUGH RARELY, HEARD IN THE QUIETER MOMENTS AND NOTHING THAT DISTRACTS TOO MUCH FROM THE OVERALL AUDIO EXPERIENCE, ABSOLUTELY NO DEEP SURFACE MARKS, SCRATCHES OR ANYTHING THAT EFFECTS STYLUS TO SKIP OR JUMP DURING PLAYBACK, ON PLAYBACK OF THE ENTIRE SET THE ONLY TIMES THAT I HEARD MORE DISTINCT LOUDER CRACKLE IN THE BACKGROUND FROM HEAVIER SURFACE MARKS WAS BRIEFLY DURING: HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN, SEXY SADIE AND LONG, LONG, LONG. WHEN THIS MORE PROMINENT SURFACE CRACKLE IS HEARD IT IS BRIEF - NEVER MORE THAN A MINUTE - AND STILL DOES NOT OVERPOWER THE AUDIO PLAYBACK.  A RECORD THAT HAS A FEW VISIBLE SURFACE MARKS BUT RETAINS A LOVELY CLEAN SHINE AND CAN STILL BE PLAYED AND ENJOYED WITH NOTHING DETRIMENTAL TO OVERALL AUDIO EXPERIENCE. VISUALLY: VERY GOOD // AUDIBLY: VERY GOOD / EXCELLENT

COVER: VERY GOOD / EXCELLENT – ORIGINAL GARROD & LOFTHOUSE FULLY LAMINATED / INSIDE LEFT AND RIGHT FLAPS / TOP LOADING / NUMBERED COVER, THE EMBOSSING OF THE BEATLES TEXT IS COMPLETELY CLEAR WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE RAISED EMBOSSING, THIS IS No.: 0341627 AND THE TEXT AGAIN IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE OR FADING, A LITTLE HANDLING AND AGEING WEAR IS VISIBLE THOUGH NOTHING THAT IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE OVERALL APPEARANCE IN ANY WAY, THE LAMINATE IS COMPLETELY INTACT, THERE IS A LITTLE AGEING WHERE VISIBLE TO THE WHITE RESULTING IN A VERY SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION BUT THIS IS ONCE AGAIN NOT DETRIMENTAL AND IN NO WAY AS BAD AS SOME COVERS I'VE SEEN OF THE WHITE ALBUM, SPINE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH JUST LIGHT WEAR, THE TEXT IS ALL READABLE AND STATES BOTH MONO AND STEREO CATALOGUE DETAILS, NO RIPS OR TEARS, A COVER THAT IS SHOWING A LITTLE AGEING WEAR BUT HAS BEEN STORED CAREFULLY AND IS STILL IN A VERY PRESENTABLE CONDITION CONSIDERING IT IS NOW OVER 50 YEARS OLD

THE POSTER IS IN POOR / FAIR CONDITION - ALTHOUGH THE TEXT ON ONE SIDE AND ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGERY IS CLEAR THERE ARE SPLITS AND TEARS ALONG THE CREASES IN THE CENTRE PORTIONS. THE IMAGERY CAN STILL BE ENJOYED THOUGH I WOULD OPEN IT UP EXTREMELY CAREFULLY AS IT IS NOW QUITE FLIMSY AND COULD EASILY TEAR AWAY IN TO PIECES.

THERE ARE JUST THREE PORTRAIT PRINTS: GEORGE, JOHN & RINGO AND I WOULD GRADE AS GOOD / VERY GOOD. THERE IS A FEW LIGHT AGEING MARKS ON THE REAR WHITE CARDED AREA AND A VISIBLE CREASE ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE JOHN & RINGO PRINTS. THERE ARE HOWEVER NO RIPS OR TEARS AND THE COLOURS ALL LOOK CLEAR AND VIVID.

ONE OF THE BLACK INNER SLEEVES IS IN A VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO SEAM SPLITS OR TEARS, THE OTHER THOUGH HAS A SIGNIFICANT TEAR DOWN FROM THE DIE-CUT AREA WHERE THE LABEL CAN BE SEEN. I SHALL POST THE ALBUM FOR THIS ONE IN A SEPARATE GENERIC MAILER BUT STILL INCLUDE THE DAMAGED BLACK INNER FOR COMPLETENESS
