THIS ALBUM IS CONSIDERED BY MANY FANS AND CRITICS TO BE THE BAND'S FINEST RECORD THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREER ,I'LL HOLD MY HAND'S UP AND SAY ITS MY FAVOURITE BY THE NARROWEST OF MARGINS.
THIS PARTICULAR RARE STEREO COPY IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION CONSIDERING IT IS NOW 55 YEARS OLD MOST BEATLE MONO LP'S ARE HEAVILY PLAYED BUT THE STEREO COPIES SEEM TO FARE BETTER PROBABLY SHOWN MORE CARE AS STEREO EQUIPMENT IN 1966 WAS VERY EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO SOURCE AND THE OWNERS LOOKED AFTER THE RECORDS AS WELL AS THEY DID THEIR HI-FI SYSTEMS
FRONT LAMINATED STEREO SLEEVE IN IN FIRST CLASS CONDITION JUST THE ODD LIGHT SMALL CREASE AROUND THE EDGES WITH A CLEANLY DEFINED OPENING EDGE ,THERE IS THE TINIEST HINT OF FOXING DOWN THE SEAM AND OPENING EDGES BUT HARD TO SEE IN THE PICTURES
SLEEVE REAR IS ALSO IN SUPERB CLEAN CONDITION ALL LAMINATED FOLDOVER SEAMS ARE IN BRIGHT UNBROKEN CLEAN CONDITION WITH AN UNMARKED INNER PANEL THE BASE OF THE SLEEVE HAS THE TEXT "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents Pending"
THE SEAM EDGE IS UNCRUSHED AND THE TEXT IS ALL LEGIBLE
ORIGINAL WHITE INNER IS THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" VARIATION WHICH EMI USED IN THE INTERIM PERIOD BEFORE OBTAINING A PATENT ,HAVE ONLY REALLY COME ACROSS THIS ON EARLY REVOLVER COPIES IN THE BEATLES CATALOGUE
SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION WITH JUST A HINT OF FOXING/AGE FADING TO THE EDGES
VINYL RECORD IS REMARKABLE, DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO SURFACES WHICH APPEAR UNMARKED WITH CLEAN RUN INS AND RUN OUT AREAS ,LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION WITH VERY VERY LIMITED SPINDLE MARKS ,MAINLY TO SIDE 2 WHICH HAS THE KT TAX CODE EMBOSSED ON IT
THE LETTERING 'KT' IS STILL BLACK IN COLOUR IT HASN'T BEEN WORN AWAY BY PLAYING WHICH IS USUALLY THE CASE AFTER A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PLAYS AS IT IS THE HIGH POINT ON THE LABEL,THE CENTRE HOLE IS SIMILARILY UNWORN ANOTHER INDICATOR OF POSSIBLE FREQUENT PLAYING.
I HAVE PLAYTESTED AND THE AUDIO WAS FIRST CLASS QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES WITH CLEAN SOUND A REAL PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO
