Capitol Records MAL-2835
FIRST PRESSING MONO 1967
Appears to be a Jacksonville pressing.
with label variant:  MAL-X-1-2835 & MAL-X-2-2835 O is stamped  in the run-off.  Also MAL-1-2835 F3 & MAL-2-2835-F5
Inside the gatefold jacket, the print variant subtext under "I Am The Walrus"
is in block letters and not in cursive.
The cover is intact with no seam splits.  The booklet is complete and attached. There is no paper chipping along the spine or seams.  There is a top left
corner crease and a small cover indentation. Corners are a bit rounded.
Front and rear surfaces are in nice condition.
The vinyl has been cleaned and thoroughly play tested: VG Side 1 - Surface noise in the dead wax before the first track.
Afterwards, only occasional pops.  A good part of them are
heard in the latter part of "Flying" and the first part of
"Blue Jay Way". Side 2 -  Numerous pops that ease up in the latter part of the side.

BE WARY OF SIGHT GRADED RECORDS   Rating vinyl by visual inspection is a flawed process. Many times it results in an inflated grade.

Almost all records sold on ebay are rated visually. While this is a useful process for obvious flaws, such as scratches and rubs, it fails to detect hidden sound problems such as skips, pops and crackle. Crackle sounds somewhat like the sound frying bacon makes while cooking. The only way to accurately rate record quality, simply put, is to play it. I am a low volume seller and take the time to thoroughly test the sound quality of records. All records up for sale are play tested. I strive for accurate description of sound quality. Any record with excessive background noise is rejected and not offered for sale.

All records are packaged in a commercial record mailer. Records are removed from the cover before packing to prevent seam splits during mailing. In the case of a single album, the record and cover are placed in a plastic sleeve. They are protected by the ample use of cardboard inserts and bubble wrap.  The outside of the package is clearly stamped as 'FRAGILE' 
Media mail shipping is $4.00 additional individual albums may be combined with minor additional shipping charges. Shipping discount up to 3 records. Additional record purchases will be packaged and charged separately with original mailing costs. This is due to limited record mailer depth. 

You may return any album that does not play to your satisfaction. However, please email me with any problems you have in this regard before return. All albums must be returned in the time allotted and in the same condition and manner as they were shipped. This applies to individual LPs and lots.  I will reimburse your purchase price and original mailing cost.  I package records with great care and ship with delivery confirmation.
Note:  Currently, USPS delivery is very slow.
If you live in MI, NJ, IL or New England, be prepared for lengthy delivery times.
