STAMPERS 5 GGD 3 GRM 5 GOR 7 GAP MATRICES -1 -1 -1 -1
THE VINYL RECORDS ARE IN STEREO BUT SLEEVE REAR HAS NO STEREO DESIGNATION BUT ACCORDING TO MANY BEATLES REFERENCE BOOKS THE RECORDS WERE ASSEMBLED BY HAND AT THE PRESSING PLANT (BRUCE SPIZERS AUTHORATIVE BOOK ACTUALLY SHOWS A PHOTOGRAPH OF THIS PROCESS )THE RECORDS WERE PLACED INTO THE INNERS THEN INTO THE WHITE GATEFOLD SLEEVE SO ERRORS DID OCCUR
LAMINATED TOP LOADING GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION CLEAN AND BRIGHT SOME MILD FOXING BUT THE SPINE IS UNCRUSHED AND ALL THE LAMINATE IS INTACT ,THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR TO THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE WERE THE LAMINATE FINISHES AND THE CARD STILL SHOWS. THE NUMBER No 0158768 IS PRESENT ON THE FRONT BUT LAST TWO DIGITS 6 & 8 HAVE A LITTLE INK MISSING FROM THE PRINTING PROCESS BUT THE NUMBERS ARE LEGIBLE
THE INTERNAL GATEFOLD IS IN SIMILAR SUPERB CONDITION CLEAN AND UNDAMAGED ,THIS REALLY IS AN EXCELLENT SLEEVE OVERALL FOR ITS AGE
ALL FOUR PHOTGRAPHS ARE PRESENT AS IS THE RARE WHITE SPACER USED TO PROTECT THE OPEN FACE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS WHEN PLACED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER
ORIGINAL POSTER IS AGAIN IN FIRST CLASS CLEAN CONDITION WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS
BOTH BLACK DIE CUT INNERS ARE THE ORIGINALS AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION JUST ONE OF THEM HAVING TWO SMALL REPAIRS TO THE CENTREHOLE AND BOTH COME WITH LIMITED CREASING MAINLY CONFINED TO THE CORNERS
BOTH VINYL RECORDS RETAIN A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES WITH JUST LIGHT HANDLING MARKS PRESENT NOTHING FEELABLE AND ALL FOUR DARK APPLE LABELS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION ALL LEGIBLE AND WITH ANY SPINDLE MARKS CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRES
BOTH RECORDS PLAY THROUGH ON ALL FOUR SIDES AND IS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO THERE IS THE ODD LIGHT POP /LIGHT CRACKLE BUT ONLY REALLY IN THE QUIET MOMENTS ,WE DO PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI SYSTEM ,SO YOU COULD GET A DIFFERENT RESPONSE ON A MORE RECENT SET UP
