Please read all the descriptions and terms carefully.
Both records are all in overall excellent condition and are still bright & shiny looking. The vinyl surfaces have a few faint surface paper scuffs and feint marks/lines (nothing feelable or detrimental). I have played the records through in their entirety and could only hear a few of the faint crackles and feint clicks between and during some of the tracks, literally that was all. There are no skips or sticking. This is all consistent with just about all records from this period and certainly does not detract from the overall sound. In all they are both well looked after records. These records are not mint/unplayed, so do keep that in mind.
The original poster is in very good condition, it has a few minor creases and seam splits but certainly nothing major. It does not look to have been pinned to a wall, which is usually what happens.
The 4 photos look to be the originals with Paul's photo being near perfect. John, George and Ringo having a few light creases, only really noticable close up (see photos). None look to have been pinned, as usually is the case.
Both original inner sleeves in okay condition, they have tape around centre holes.
The original fully laminated Gatefold cover, with top openings, is in overall excellent condition. There is some very slight creasing and really very minimal overall wear. There is very little to no edge wear and no major spinal wear (the words are all still just about legible). There are no splits, and no major corner wear. The laminate still retains its shiny, glossy look all over. There are no rips and no tears. The opening edge is fairly even.
