Description
This is a 1969 UK 1st pressing ‘Yellow Submarine’, the legendary LP by The Beatles.
The sleeve is in conservatively VG+ condition, with varying creases to the edges, very minor front and rear ring-wear and a small pen mark on the rear – that’s about it, lovely copy.
The disc is well played with visible hairlines including some barely feelable marks, the most noticeable of which played through without issue on my conservatively set-up system. On testing the title track was clear and loud with some minor static crackle (as our shop cleaning-machine isn’t accessible at the moment – rectifiable though); I’m starting this cheaply and grading VG given the visible use this record has enjoyed, and specifically that I don’t have time currently to play the entire LP to check if it plays perfectly from start of A to end of B! If you’re an audiophile chasing the dragon then this might not be your copy, but if you’re after a 1st press that plays and is original then this might be for you!

GRADING SYSTEM:
1. NM: Record/sleeve will be near-perfect or have maybe very minor scuff/s from being handled a few times or from the inner sleeve (potentially played once or twice).
2. EX: Record will have some minor scuffs and possible more noticeable marks preventing a NM grading; a record that was played very little and has been taken care of.
3. VG Plus: Record will have noticeable scuffs and light scratches from being handled and played, but nothing too deep as to affect playback. May have light background noise in quieter areas but still no major issues; a record that has been played and enjoyed but not abused.
4. VG: Record will have scuffs and scratches from being handled and played, causing noticeable background noise and some disturbances/pops but still enjoyable overall; still a good quality record that can be enjoyed with life left.
5. GOOD / FAIR / POOR: Record will have scuffs and major scratches. Can still be played but will have background noise and most likely major distractions such as sustained pops or skips. Records with this grade are used for rare albums or ones that would be best used only for display.
