VINYL RECORD: NEAR MINT  - This record visually looks a truly outstanding example of this UK Stereo First Pressing from 1967 of the Beatles Iconic Classic Album - On close visual inspection of both vinyl sides under normal light it looks stunning and exceptional and is in superb immaculate condition  like it's barely ever been played  maybe just a few times very carefully on a turntable and that's it!!! - Both sides of the vinyl surfaces look Unmarked and show NO actual scratches or groove wear -  Side 1 is near perfect and Side 2 has one very light feint hairline (That's really not noticable) the only other blemishes that can be seen is just the odd faint light trace/wispy lines can be seen when looking for them under a bright angled light and are hardly noticable and which have probably occured during the removal of vinyl from the inner sleeve on rare occasions over the last 43 years years - Absolutely doesn't interfere with audio playback in anyway what so ever with NO other surface blemishes to be seen - The vinyl still retains it's Original Factory Pressed jet black glossy Sheen and Lustre - It's very evident this record has been barely played and extremely well cared for over it's 43 years lifetime -  

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  - SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY AND POWER ON AUDIO PLAYBACK END TO END - Audio is Graded as Near Mint  - There are No Clicks,pops,skips,jumps or repeats and shows No other annoying  audio noise distortions during playback If I'm going to be Ultra Critical whilst listening through the playback you may get occasionally when the very quiet tracks begin to play or on the start of run ins and inbetween tracks you may get some very light static crackle for a second or two and then it just fades away but absolutely nothing of any consequence that will spoil your overall enjoyment of this exceptional Iconic Classic Album - Overall  its just a Fantastic listening Experience that comes from this near Perfect Dynanmic Audio performance!!! 

The Record still plays Outstanding all the way through from start to finish with all it's Original and dynamic driving stereo audio sound with brilliant crystal clear clarity along with the fantastic vibrant full stereo production that would fill any room Just as you would expect from the Very First Pressing!!!

LABELS: VERY NEAR MINT -  On close visuall examination and under bright lights both the labels show  to be immaculate with hardly any evidence of any spindle wear or trails traces even the spindle hole shows very little wear or marks - It looks like the vinyl has hardly ever  been Played in 43 years

COVER SLEEVE & SPINE: VERY NEAR MINT CONDITION  - Original fully laminated flipback gatefold pictue cover - Printed and Made by Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd. All shows to be Absolutely Superb and Stunning for a Fully laminated cover which is virtually UNMARKED - Flat crisp and Clean that is just so amazing for a Cover of this age is quiet remarkable and unbelievable that its still totally and fully intact and  showing all it's original astounding bold vivid rich deep colours - With No major problems of any wear to the Outside or Inside of the Gatefold to mention on this 43 year old Album Cover this is due to the exceptional care and superb storage conditions that have been used - With No major defects to be seen it has NO seam splits, rips,ring wear,ink writing,stains or Stickers - The only blemish is a barely noticable small laminate surface crease in one small corner area on the back of cover and some tiny and very minimal light laminate edge creases and slight corner wear (hardly that noticable and this does not detract from the overall Immaculate condition of cover) - Overall the Cover It's front openining edge and all other edges of cover are still Superb and show very little evidence of edge wear rubbing or creasing  - The Spine itself is in Excellent+ condition - Firm straight and rigid with all the original written text still being very clear bold and legible - Showing only the lightest signs of any wear along the length of spine (See pictures in the gallery) - The exceptional condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record and having barely been played over it's Lifetime - Not much more I can add only to say that that this Iconic classic Album is probably impossible and very hard to find in this Astonishing near perfect  condition - This is one Rare Album to find in this Exceptional condition - That only seems to only ever come along once in a Blue Moon!! So don't let it get away!!!       

Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT The Original 'Fooled' ( Flame Red & White) Record Company Sleeve with 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' & 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR' Text is still in very  clean condition and shows hardly any evidence of much wear over it's Lifetime - If i'm going to be critical all I can say that it has the usual and expected yellow ageing tinges on the white areas of the sleeve and a few little nicks at the top opening edge with a slight Vinyl Record impression that has been left against the inner sleeve bag and thats it! - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting or other Wear

Cut-Out Colour Cardboard Insert: MINT  This is so easy to describe - It's just Pristine and /Perfect like new the Cut-Out that has never been used and has always been kept inside the Cover sleeve for the last 43 years - Only taken out for a photo for this Auction!!! 

All of my records That I'm selling are from my own personel collection that I have collected for over 40 years and which have been generally kept and looked after to the highest standard.

I'm currently starting to sort through some of my other Rare vinyl records that have been played only a few times - which are mainly UK 1st  PRESSINGS - which are all in Excellent to Mint Condition - Mainly due to Covers/Vinyl have been kept in plastic covers for all of there Life Span and this is one of them
