THE GLOSSY SIDE-OPENING, NUMBERED GATEFOLD WHITE SLEEVE, WITH “THE BEATLES” & THE NUMBER EMBOSSED ON THE FRONT IS IN GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS GENERAL WEAR, CREASING AND DISCOLOURATION. THERE IS A ROUND BLACK STICKER ON THE FRONT WHICH SAYS ‘PRESSUNG “WEISS” DIRECT METAL MASTERING DMM’.

OTHERWISE THE CORNERS AND EDGES ARE STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THESE RECORDS ARE HOUSED IN THEIR ORIGINAL WHITE INNER SLEEVES WHICH ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR. THE BLACK INNER SLEEVES YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS WERE USED TO HIGHLIGHT THE BLACK VINYL AND ARE NOT INCLUDED AS THEY DO NOT BELONG TO THIS RELEASE.
