CONDITION:

Disc 1

Labels: Near Mint

Just the faintest of spindle marks only visible under the brightest of lights.

Visual: Excellent Plus

All surfaces are extremely clean, bright & glossy with no signs of groove-whitening from overplay or dull/cloudy areas from improper storage. Close & careful inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals just an occasional light stylus hairline & inner-sleeve removal hairline.

Disc 2

Labels: Near Mint

Just the faintest of spindle marks only visible under the brightest of lights.

Visual: Excellent Plus

As with disc 1, both sides are extremely clean & glossy A few wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines are visible under a halogen desk lamp, but there are no further signs of wear.      

Audio: Should be Fantastic!

Last played 33 years ago, at that time it sounded great. I am not risking playing it now !     

Cover: Near Mint

This fine & rare example retains and excellent whiteness with no significant areas of toning or major wear. It still creaks when opened! The laminate is nearly perfect with no seperation even on the spine. Inside is in mint condition. All the edges are in fantastic condition with just few fingernail marks along the top opening. There is a tiny edge knock on the bottom right corner that is barely noticable.               

Photos: Near Mint

John, George and Ringo are mint, Paul has a very slight crease so I will grade it as excellent. No pinholes, tape or sticker marks.

Poster: Near Mint

Just a few light storage creases that you would expect from 42 years! No pinholes, tape or sticker marks.

Photo SpacerMint 

Rare to even find one, yet alone in this condition, perfectly flat...

Inners: Excellent

No tears or splits, just the usual ring wear and creases you would expect.

I purchased this in 1977 from a reputable secondhand record store in south London at the time it was graded mint and cost me 12 pounds! I played it once to make a recording of it and it has been securely stored in a plastic sleeve ever since. This must be one of the best copies available. 

Buy with confidence - if you are anyway dissatisfied I will refund all monies no questions asked upon return....

Item will be shipped securely in rigid cardboard packaging. If winning bid is from Italy, Russia or South America mandatory insurance must be purchased seperately.
