Description
On offer is a COMPLETE UK 1st Stereo Pressing of this Iconic Album.
Great Original Numbered Top Loading Gatefold Sleeve Printed by Garrard and Lofthouse
This is a great opportunity to own a classic ultra rare piece of musical history from my own personal collection.
I acquired this copy (in a collection of records) from a friend around 20 years ago and he told me that ALL records had been played just once and taped. I have no reason to doubt his story, I've certainly never played this record, so I'm advertising it as a ONCE played copy.
When I say complete you will notice that with the four individual portrait posters it includes the Ultra RARE single sheet spacer, legend is that this was used to help 'fans' compose the layout of the portraits on a bedroom wall. It's becoming increasing hard to find copies that include this sheet, inevitably these were thrown away.

Although I previously stated one play, I've tried to be honest and over critical with my visual observations in the details below.

Comments : I think you would have to look long and hard to find any copies in this condition.
Gatefold Sleeve Embossed 'the BEATLES' Number stamped '0584097' Top Openings - minimal wear to top openings Slight Yellowing to Laminate but no major defects. Spine has no creasing but cellophane has disappeared over the years due to opening and closing (to be expected for 51 years). Minimal Dog Ears at corners. But acceptable.
Poster(s) Double Sided Main Poster shows normal wear from regular handling but no major defects. Four Portrait Posters are Fantastic Mint Condition having NEVER been on a wall And the RARE single blank spacer sheet
