Vinyl Condition: EX or better Visually the vinyl is in a virtually unmarked condition on all 4 disc sides and have Barely been played in 37 years and are in excellent condition - These vinyl discs at least have not been played to destruction like most - Has been carefully played only a minimal amount of times over the early years and probably hasn't been played for over 30 years and shows nothing but only light use over the 37 years - With NO bad marks or  scratches that I can visually see or detect on close inspection of Sides 1,2,3 or 4  (only side 3 has one noticable mild light line from track 3 to the dead wax - This does not affect audio play back) On even closer examination under a strong light it reveals nothing more than a few light hairlines here and there with some usual insignificant disc inner sleeve removal feint wispy light lines/scuffs here and there that absolutely dosen't effect the virtually near perfect audio playback (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall exceptional condition of all 4 disc vinyl surfaces) - The vinyl's still retains all there original jet black shiny gloss mirror like sheen and lustre - Records are still a great Example!!!  

Please Note: This record has been stored away and not touched or cleaned for most of it's 37 years it would obviously benefit from a professional clean  before play as to reduce further any light dust static crackle that is still present

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  - SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY AND POWER ON AUDIO PLAYBACK END TO END - Audio is Graded as Ex+ to Near Mint  - This vinyl visually looks like its not been played that much and appears to have very few light and minor blemishes across the vinyl surfaces and shows NO heavy marks or scratches still looks a great example - 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 and the very quieter elements of audio playback or if at all  you may get some very light static crackle for a few seconds and then it just fades away  but absolutely nothing of any consequence that will spoil your overall enjoyment on this 37 year old outstanding and exceptional Iconic Classic Album - Overall  its just a Fantastic listening Experience that comes from this near Perfect Dynanmic Stereo Audio performance!!! 

 Labels Condition: Nr Mint  The labels show that are very clean and virtually unmarked condition being to near mint as your likely to come across with very little wear around the spindle hole Under a bright Halogen light it shows virtually NO spider trail traces or other marks near the spindle holes on any of the 4 sides It's very evident that these discs have barely been played maybe no more than 5 times at the most - Its certainly obvious that when it was ever played the discs were handled with a lot of care and look well preserved as they certainly haven't been played very much in there 37 years 

Cover Condition: EX to Nr.MINT  An Original UK made and printed Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd Side opening Laminated Gatefold sleeve with 'THE BEATLES' Embossed on the front side and with the Unique stamped Number - This superb Cover is just exceptional and an amazing example of a well preserved cover showing hardly any Handling wear over 37 years in all its original vibrant Creamy White colour like its near on perfect and virtually unblemished in appearance - That's totally intact with razor sharp straight edges and excellent pointed corners with only very very light mild storage wear along the opening and bottom edges - The cover looks to be virtually Unmarked - Flat crisp and incredibly clean and showing all it's original warm creamy white colour across the entire Cover Inside and Out - On opening the gatefold sleeve it creaks when opening as it's never really been opened that many times over the years and looks virtually untouched and only shows one noticable blemish inside the cover a very small light corner surface crease at the bottom left side and that's about it! - Visually shows No major Laminate creasing,Laminate or Colour lifting,or Bubbles with no other real bad marks or blemishes that's visible -  I'm really struggling to find any real fault with cover that's worth while  mentioning on this Superb looking 37 year old cover sleeve - None of the light blemishes on the cover in anyway detract from the overall Exceptional and Superb condition of cover - It would be very hard to improve or better this cover!!! 

Spine Condition: EX The Laminated Spine is incredibily clean intact and virtually near perfect - Shows NO Laminate lifting,bubbles,wear or any other noticable wear - With all written text still showing to be bold clear legible and perfectly worded as if it had just been printed at the factory!!! You won't find one Better that has NO Wear to really mention it's Just AMAZING!!! 

4 Portrait Photos of the Beatles: MINT Condition - Perfect as 'NEW' Untouched and Unused never really been handled in the last 37 years they have just been housed inside the gatefold cover

Factory folded 'Kiss' Poster: MINT- This Original Gigantic sized Poster has never been fully unfolded since NEW!!! (only for Ebay Photos) Just like the 4 Photos it also has been virtually Untouched and unused and housed inside the gatefold cover since purchase in 1973!!!

Inner Sleeves: EX The original White 'Apple'  record company sleeves are both intact and immaculate - Both are in a very clean condition and shows no evidence of any real handling wear over it's lifetime - NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting,Stickers or other Blemishes around the outer cover - Apart from the unavoidable mild yellow ageing tinges mainly around the white edges of the covers 

 The overall Clean intact condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb dry storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record over it's Lifetime!!!
