THE BEATLES - HEY JUDE

Housed in a fully laminated 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with wording on the spine only
Complete with its plain white 'Patent no.' inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEEX 150-1 & YEEX 151-1
Stamper codes: 2/GO & 1/GD
Disc weight: 146g
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Numerous spindle trails to each but no signficant or major blemishes or damage.
Visual: 1. VERY GOOD 2. EXCELLENT
Clean, bright & deep-gloss surfaces but with some noticeable surface marks on side 1. However, side 2 is free from any such marks.
Close inspection directly beneath my halogen desk lamp reveals some wispy paper hairlines but no other major signs of wear.
Both sides lie 100% flat with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This copy has a number of plays, but on good equipment only. The sound quality throughout is extremely high and completely unworn.
My careful play-check uncovered just a few soft ticks between some tracks but no groovewear, background noise or any other problems.
The true stereo version of 'Rain' is worth the price of entry alone.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
An overall clean & glossy example with just normal handling & storagewear but no major faults.
The rear panel displays a slight disc impression and a tiny fleck of missing paper along the lower edge but no other significant wear.
Both seams are intact & unstressed & the spine is fully worded, clean & undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with just slight age-toning & minor storagewear but no writing, tears or splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp based on UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
- Please take a look at my About Me page for more details.
