Initial numbered edition with top opening G & L gatefold sleeve, black inners, poster & 4 colour prints, dark green Apple labels with Ⓟ & "Sold In The UK...." text.
This was released in error omitting the text 'E.M.I. Recording' on the label, so a second version The Beatles was promptly released with the corrected labels.

YES ITS A RARE RECORD in decent condition for its age
BUT if you're looking for a mint copy this one is not for you !!
CONDITION
RECORDS - VG +
STILL WITH A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT.
OBVIOUSLY PLAYED IN THE LAST 54 YEARS BUT I CAN SEE A COUPLE OF HAIRLINES EACH SIDE WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT, NOT FEELABLE AT ALL !
Records play fine with audible background crackle/static in parts
Records play OK with audible background crackle/static in parts on BOTH DISCS
Visually when tilted in strong light, small hairline marks, non feelable scratches etc can be seen on each side but still Glossy and clean overall, plays a lot better than it looks being honest.
Labels - VG/ EX
Apple labels in good condition with no spindle wear but downgraded due to name written on one side of each label on one record (SEE PHOTOS) !
Gatefold is Cover - Excellent
Very clean overall Minor wear only, the VERY LOW number 0049552 has good foldover seams with most wear evident at the spine, with a split starting, a corner bump, but no laminate lift at all .
Very light ring wear
Nice laminated sheen still evident, overall a nice example of this notoriously hard to keep clean sleeve
Inners - Very Good
Some creasing, edge splits Some edge wear at top edges including some tears around centres
Poster - VG
Large montage poster with lyrics on reverse included but is marked on one section, otherwise ok
4 Photo Prints - Excellent
clean prints, NO creases, pin holes or damage at all
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
