CONDITION

SLEEVE: (EX) FRONT LAMINATED 'MONO' PATENTS PENDING FLIPBACK SLEEVE PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE HAS VERY LIGHT WEAR AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! A FEW LAMINATE CREASES TO THE FRONT AND SOME YELLOWING ON THE SPINE AND THE OPENING EDGE. A CREASE TO THE UNLAMAINATED BACK JUST ABOVE JOHN'S HEAD AND TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, WITH SOME 'RECORD IMPRESSION' WEAR FROM STORAGE. SOME GRUBBINESS TO THE TOP OF THE FLIPBACKS. ONE TINY AREA OF EDGE SCUFFING TO THE FRONT BOTTOM LEFT CORNER (ON GEORGE'S NECK) BUT THAT'S IT! NO RIPS & NO SPLITS.

SPINE: (EX) THE SPINE IS UNDAMAGED AND ALL THE TEXT IS FULLY READABLE. YELLOWING FROM AGE AND COMPLETELY SMOOTH WITH A COUPLE OF BUMPS.  THE TOP AND BOTTOM SPINE ENDS ARE SLIGHTLY PINCHED (LIKE YOU SEE ON ORIGINAL BEATLES FOR SALE  BUT NOT HAS EXTREME). NO SPLITS.  

INNER: (VG-) PLAIN WHITE PAPER INNER WITH LIGHT WEAR AND YELLOWING/BROWNING FROM AGE HAS WITH A 1" SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE.  NO WRITING. 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR' IN BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. NO STICKERS.

LABELS: SIDE 1 (EX-) SIDE 2 (EX+) BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED WRITING & STICKERS AND HAS THE 'SOLD IN THE UK...' TEXT. SIDE 1  HAS 'K' & 'T' CLEARLY EMBOSSED AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE. SIDE 1 HAS A FEW LONG LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE - THE LONGEST GOES ACROSS THE '£' LOGO. SIDE 2 HAS A FEW LIGHT SPINDLES MARKS THAT ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE CENTRE HOLE. (SEE PICTURES).

VINYL VISUALLY: SIDE 1 (VG-) SIDE 2 (VG-) THE VINYL IS COMPLETELY FLAT AND GLOSSY AND WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT BOTH SIDES HAVE LOTS OF LIGHT/MILD PAPER SCUFFS, A FEW HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT SCRATCHES. BOTH SIDES ARE DUSTY IN PLACES SO WOULD BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL MACHINE CLEAN. NO DEEP SCRATCHES. MOST OF THE HAIRLINES AND PAPER SCUFFS CAN ONLY BE SEEN WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT.

PLAYING GRADE: SIDE 1 (VG+) SIDE 2 (VG+) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE & BOTH SIDES PLAY AT LEAST VERY GOOD WITH THE LOUDER MUSIC PLAYING EXCELLENT! VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC/CRACKLE NOTICEABLE IN PLACES DURING THE RUN-INS ON BOTH SIDES AND DURING THE QUIETER MUSIC. A COUPLE OF LIGHT POPS TOWARDS END AND AT START OF 'YELLOW SUBMARINE'. NO DISTORTION! NO SKIPS NO JUMPS. THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED UNTOUCHED FOR OVER 45 YEARS AND IS A LITTLE DUSTY IN PLACES SO MAY BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONALLY MACHINE CLEANED. I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL! EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION ESPECIALLY AS A GENUINE MONO UK 1ST PRESSING! THE PRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM IS SIMPLY AWESOME AND IS FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY DIGITAL REMASTER OR VINYL REPRESSING. A GREAT LOOKING AND PLAYABLE COPY OF AN INCREASINGLY RARE BEATLES CLASSIC NOT TO BE MISSED!!

EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!!

DON`T MISS OUT ON THIS!!

GRADING

All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.

M (Mint) : The Record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EX (Excellent): The Record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG (Very Good) : The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

G (Good) : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

F (Fair) : The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POSTAGE & PACKAGING

I always charge less postage than what it actually costs me. If the actual cost of postage is less then I will refund the difference. All records are posted fully insured. In the UK they are sent via Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded delivery (Special Delivery at no extra charge if the record is £50 or over). Overseas all records are posted via Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed, tracked or signed depending on what options are available. All vinyl is posted using correct card record mailers/cruciform boxes with at least 5 cardboard stiffners. The sleeve is always sent in a new poly outer and the vinyl is put in a new polylined paper inner outside of the sleeve to avoid splits/damage during transit. 7" vinyls sleeves are sent in a new PVC outer and the vinyl is put in a new card inner outside of sleeve. I will always do everything I can to guarantee that your record arrives in the same condition it leaves me.
