THIS REALLY IS A TRULY SUPERB VINYL!!SIDE 1 GRADES NEAR MINT WITH A BEAUTIFUL JET BLACK MIRROR LIKE SHINE WITH ONLY 1 OR 2 OF THE TINIEST WISPY LINES SEEN WHEN ANGLED TOWARDS A BRIGHT LIGHT.SIDE 2 WOULD GRADE THE SAME BUT FOR ONE VERY LIGHT NON FEELABLE HAIRLINE THAT CERTAINLY DOESN'T AFFECT PLAY IN ANY WAY.THE RECORD LIES PERFECTLY FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE.PLAYBACK IS ALSO SUPERB WITH BOTH SIDES HAVING CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND WITH BEAUTIFUL CLARITY AND TONE. ONLY THE TINIEST HINT OF CRACKLE CAN BE HEARD ON SOME RUN INS.I THINK YOU WOULD BE VERY LUCKY TO FIND A BETTER VINYL THAN THIS!

THE LABELS ARE STRONG EXCELLENT WITH JUST THE SMALLEST TRACE OF SPINDLE WEAR AND NO DAMAGE OR PEN MARKS.THE COLOURS REMAIN BOLD AND UNFADED.

THIS COPY ALSO HAS THE VERY FIRST PRESS SLEEVE WITH THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PRINTING CREDIT TEXT ON THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK.THIS ISN'T VISIBLE ON LATER FIRST PRESS SLEEVES.IT IS THE OPPOSITE CASE FOR THE EARLY STEREO RELEASES.IT ALSO OF COURSE HAS THE TWO RED LINES ACROSS THE REAR.IT GRADES EXCELLENT AND THE FRONT STILL HAS BOLD VIBRANT COLOURS.IT HAS SOME SLIGHT LAMINATE CREASING OF THE EDGES AND CORNERS.MAINLY VISIBLE WHEN ANGLED AROUND IN THE LIGHT.THERE IS ALSO SOME SLIGHT EDGE WEAR AND THE USUAL LIGHT CORNER BUMPS.THE SPINE REMAINS SUPER SHARP WITH BOLD UNDAMAGED TEXT.THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO SOLID AND IN GREAT SHAPE.THE REAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT AGEING IN PLACES.THERE IS A SLIGHT SCUFF TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER NEXT TO THE PMC7070 TEXT WHICH SHOULD BE VISIBLE IN THE EXTRA LARGE PHOTO SCAN.(I HOPE THE LARGER PHOTOS HELP TO SHOW THE TRUE CONDITION AS SOMETIMES THE USUAL EBAY PHOTOS CAN BE A BIT MISLEADING.) THIS REALLY IS A GREAT SLEEVE AND COMPLIMENTS THE FANTASTIC VINYL.

THE VERY FRAGILE ORIGINAL BLACK INNER SLEEVE GRADES NEAR EXCELLENT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL TEARS NEAR THE CENTRE HOLE AND SOME MINOR CREASING AND LIGHT WEAR.

OVERALL THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY EARLY (PRESSED IN THE FIRST DAY!!)COPY OF PROBABLY THE MOST RARE FIRST PRESS MONO BEATLES RELEASE.STEREO HAD ALL BUT TAKEN OVER BY 1969 AND MONO WAS ONLY AVAILABLE BY PRE ORDER SO WAS MADE IN TINY AMOUNTS AND THIS IS IN FANTASTIC SHAPE.YOU REALLY WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS

Grading:

MINT: Brand new condition, no surface marks no deterioration in sound, all paperwork should be in perfect condition

Excellent: The Record shows some signs of being played, there is very little lessening of sound quality. The packaging may have very slight signs of wear and /or creasing.

Very Good: The Record has been played a number of times, but there is no major deterioration in sound quality, despite slight surface marks and the occasional light scratch.

Good; The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps some mild scratches. The cover suffers from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits and discoloration.

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.

I add a plus or minus when the item is somewhere between two grades
