Description
Single sides of this mono test pressing have been on sale before, but as far as is known, never a complete pair. Both discs have visible surface scratches but play is not affected apart from some crackles and pops that can be heard before 'Help' and 'Ticket To Ride' on Disc 1. Flip side test tones are graded Good. Original white cardboard sleeve + new inner sleeves as originals were in very poor condition. Unless made available by members of the Beatles estates or their close associates, it is highly unlikely a pair of this very rare test pressing will surface for sale again.

Disc 2:
Grade: VG+
Tax code: KT
Matrix: XEX 550-2

GRADES
Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.
Near Mint (NM) – The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.
Excellent (E) – Same as NM, but very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.
Very Good Plus (VG+) – A little bit worn, light inaudible marks, a bit of background crackle.
Very Good (VG) – A few light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. Visually and audibly acceptable.
Good Plus (G+) - Some pops and clicks, worn but in one piece, some scratches. Visually used, audibly acceptable
Good (G) - Pops and clicks, clearly split or torn, visible scratches. Visually and audibly used.
