Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVENT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and I will grade each side in turn visually and give a play grade and overall grading at the end.  Side 1 has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Side 1 must visually grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  Side 2 has NO scratches, only 3 or 4 light hairlines, only 2 or 3 light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Side 2 must visually grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  Side 3 has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 2 TINY surface marks, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! Side 3 must visually grade Excellent(Minus)!!!!  Side 4 has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! Side 4 must visually grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!!  ALL SIDES RETAIN EVERY BIT OF THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the records is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  They play with NO nasty loud pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL (apart from a VERY slight amount on a couple of the run on grooves), and only some VERY low level background sound in the VERY quietest parts of the music on Sides 3 & 4 (NONE on Sides 1 & 2)!!!!  There is NO groovewear & NO distortion either!!!!  The records must overall grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! BOTH records also come in their ORIGINAL Black inners which are in STUNNING condition with NO edge splits!!!!  The Poster and the 4 Colour Inserts are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) and they dont look to have EVER left the cover!!!!

The 1st Press Gatefold 'TOP OPENING' Laminated Flipback NUMBERED Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, only slight corner wear (the cover still retains a VERY nice shape to ALL corners), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, PERFECT flipbacks, STUNNING shiny laminate, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  The number on the cover front looks like it was pressed yesterday and the raised writing of 'The Beatles' is simply SUPERB!!!!  Not only that but this White Album is VERY White looking indeed with barely ANY yellowing!!!!  The only VERY minor point to mention on this STUNNING cover is a VERY unnoticeable laminate indentation on the reverse of the cover!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better and is VERY hard to find in this condition!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
