Condition
Vinyl– Excellent/Very Good+

Audio – Very good+
Playback is lovely and bright. There is background noise throughout, more obvious on run ins/outs. There are four light pops on the B side across the feelable mark but no sticks or skips.
Labels– Excellent
The labels are in excellent condition with some spindle wear to both sides. No tears, stickers or writing to either side. The rim text starts “The Parlophone Co. Ltd.” In upper/lower text & “Recording first published 1962”.
Sleeve– Very Good
The original ‘Beach Stripe’ Parlophone sleeve is in reasonable condition. There a split to bottom edge, a bit of tearing to the centre hole and creasing.
Overall, this is a nice copy of this first pressing of the Beatles first release.
