CONDITION AND DETAILS

In very good playable condition. Plays through with no skips or jumps , hardly any crackle bg noise a really nice copy


Sleeve and spine is intact , would be VG+ save for some writing on rear , which is great for the age of the item , just a little yellowing/staining

The writing on the rear against each band members picture seems to convey a previous owners personal nicknames for them (see photos) ? Who knew the Fab Four were really called: Bighead, Tattyhead, Stinky Head and Twit?


Inner , original , intact , some corner creasing , close to excellent


Vinyl and labels are clean and have only light spindle/usage marks; the initials MP are very faintly marked on the pound sign logo - VG …

overall this looks and sounds VG+ , which I’d say is a conservative grading for playback (all subjective though )

- listen to the video clip and see photos for a better idea:)


Happy bidding - other Beatles for sale this week
