VINYL RECORDS - VISUAL & AUDIO: VG/VG- : Visual - both records have obviously been played before - but generally very good looking records for their age - a very good for visual. Audio - no skips or jumps and no real major deterioration in overall sound - however there are some crackles and ticks here and there during play - there is a brief passage of ticks during the track 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' - also at the end of 'I Will' and during the first quarter of 'Julia'  - there are also a couple of audible ticks on the track 'Long Long Long'  - overall though not a bad sounding couple of records - a very good minus for audio.
OUTER GATE-FOLD COVER: VG- : Garrod and Lofthouse cover - embossed Beatles logo and stamped serial number - usual signs of age/wear due to storage over the many years - there is a stain mark to the corner of the album cover (lower center of the cover when opened -see photos) - a couple of light marks here and there - but no major defects - overall a very good minus for the cover.
INNER SLEEVE : VG-/G : Two black plain paper inner sleeves - the solid black one is I believe the original sleeve while the other with the center label hole is not original to the album - the original sleeve has crease marks and is generally very good the other sleeve has a small split to the edge with creases - a very good minus for the original sleeve and a good for the non-original one.

* All records arrive  in a protective polythene sleeve'.*

Vinyl Record Grading System
I aim to describe records as accurately as possible and try to avoid disappointment by playing all records before listing them. I grade them as conservatively as I can using the UK Record Collector Grading Guide below - however please bear in mind that grading vinyl records is not an exact science and is a very subjective task (what may sound great to me may not sound so great to you and visa versa of course) - therefore if you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me before leaving any negative feedback and I will always do my best to sort out any problems - I am only human and unintended mistakes can occur. Also, please be mindful that some vinyl records regardless of their condition can still have an occasional very tiny tic due to the physical nature of the medium - thank you.
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
MINT (M): 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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT (EX): 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.
VERY GOOD (VG): 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.
GOOD (G): 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.
FAIR (F): 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.
POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
 For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - will be added to the grading..
