Inner Sleeve: Very Good Plus condition original Apple Corps inner sleeve.... these were also issued with the 1st presses. Still sturdy and holds the vinyl well. Some creasing but overall very fine condition for an original.

No handwriting or marks.

The Vinyl: The vinyl surfaces are in a strong Very Good condition, near Very Good Plus. Both sides have no feelable or deep scratches, no hairline marks but there are very feint stylus wispy marks/ sleeve insertion trails over part of the surface area, but not obtrusive to the audio and not a distraction to the overall very decent condition as can't be seen when the vinyl lies flat. There are no scuffs or warps or dinks in the vinyl or anything that causes any detractions or interference to the audio. Thebright black pressing sheen is all over with no dulling or groove wear. The record has received a moderate of amount plays commensurate with age and are in a far over average and respectable condition.

The record lays completely flat on the turntable.

Robust 1970's vinyl's weighing at around 165 grams.

Labels: Excellent and very neat. All text is clear and bright backgound, the perimeter area around the spindle location is neat with no noticeable wear to the perimeter of the spindle location, and there are no spindle line traces to see in normal light.

 An E.M.I. Recording” text on two lines. Publishing year printed with big copyright symbol (P).

Has misprints: This label variant has the rarer large type 33 1/3 speed indicator in comparison to the rest of the label text size. Most copies of these 3U/3U matrix pressing will have a smaller font size for the speed indicator, on this copy it stands out more. The matrix number has erroneously being stamped in at the 9 o'clock position on Side 2, the mother number is at 6 o'clock postition and the stamper number is t the 12 o'clock position.

No handwriting or marks.

Mother/ Stamps   - Side 1: 24 RAP  Side 2: 2 ROP

The Audio: The audio grades at Excellent Minus/ Excellent. The LP plays throughout clearly on both sides, with no pops, no background noises such as crackle or hiss, and there are no skips/jumps or sticks. There are a few light audible static ticks, but only where to be expected i.e. a few quiet interludes and dead-wax grooves preceding and succeeding a few of the songs but only at the start of each side. Plays through very clearly and on the whole without any static ticks or surface noise and certainly no interruptions. The stereo channelling is perfect with no feedback or hiss, and the vocals are crisp and clear.
