Condition:

Discs:  All sides are in Very Good to Excellent* condition, except Side One, which I rate as Good - see below. (I play every disc to check).  There is little lessening in sound quality since new.  Imperfections audible on my equipment were:

Side One: A few small clicks and a minor jump on Dear Prudence, caused by a short circumferential scratch, hence only a Good rating for this side.

Side Two: Minor clicks on I'm So Tired and Julia.

Side Three: Slight crackles on Mother Nature's Son and Long, Long, Long

Side Four:  A click before the start of Good Night

(These are among the quietest tracks on the album, so no surprises there.)

Labels:  Excellent condition.  Original dark green Apple labels with 'Sold in the U.K...' notice - see photos.

Sleeve:  Copy Number: 0517292

The gatefold sleeve is in Good condition, with little wear and tear, although like most copies the white cover has darkened a bit with age. The lamination down the external line of the spine has crackled slightly. (The spine itself is intact.)  'Stereo' printed in upper right hand corner of back face.
 
Inner sleeve:  The discs still have their original black inner sleeves, which are in Fair condition, with no major defects.  One has a slight split on one edge and three small tears around the central hole - see photos.  (I will include these sleeves, but pack the dics themselves in new polylined sleeves for dispatch.)

Inserts:  The four photos are in extremely good (near mint) condition.  The poster lyric sheet is unmarked, but split slightly at the junction of the original folds. I would describe its condition as Fair.

Discs details:

EMI Catalogue: Apple PCS 7067 & 7068 (stereo)

Matrix numbers (Sides 1 - 4, in order): YEX 709-1; YEX 710-1; YEX 711-1; YEX 712-1

Mother numbers: 4; 4; 2; 5

Stamper codes: AL; MR; GGD; GAM

(Note that some of these codes are very lightly pressed and difficult to read clearly, so I cannot guarantee that they are 100% accurate.)
