All four sides have a star (*) indicating a Los Angeles pressing.
Vinyl: VG+ Some light scuffing and a couple of hairline scratches. No skips. Plays with some light surface crackling that is most noticeable between songs and during quiet songs like “Dear Prudence” and “Martha My Dear" Harldy or not noticeable for most of the album. Really nice, solid copy.
Sleeve: VG+ Some corner and edge wear. Light ring wear. Hard to find an early pressing like this with such light ring wear. 1.5 inch splits on both front and rear upper seams. Please see photos.
Inner Sleeve: Generic white.
Inserts: All four photos in VG+ condition. Has the poster also, but it is separated at all seams (into 4 parts) See photo below..
I ship all records in protective sleeves with the record removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits during shipping unless sealed. All records come from my personal collection in a smoke free house. Will be shipped in new cardboard mailer with carboard inserts for extra protection. Free shipping, insurance and signature confirmation via USPS Priority mail. I know it can be inconvenient to have to sign for a package, but given the value of the record I am requiring it. No exceptions. This is for both buyer and seller protection.
All used records are cleaned on a VPI 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine prior to shipping.
Please pay promptly. Because of an increasing number of buyers waiting a week or more to pay, I have enabled the Unpaid Item Assistant on my account. It will automatically open an unpaid item case for any payment not received within four (4) days of a sale. Thanks!
All prices are firm. I am not interested in negotiating a lower price, so please don’t ask. I will not respond to any inquiries looking for a lower price.
Sorry, no international shipping.
A note on grading: I’m not a pro or a record store owner, but I have been collecting for a long time and I know what’s good and what’s not. I’ve been burned buying records on Ebay before and I know it’s not fun, so I try to grade as conservatively as possible so that you will be more than satisfied with what you receive. If you’re not, just let me know and we’ll work something out.
M/NM: I only use these grades for new or sealed records that have never been played.
Ex: The highest grade I will give a used record. Probably what most other people would consider NM. I usually don’t give this grade unless I’m the original owner and I know how the record has been handled, played and stored since it was purchased new.
VG+: May have some light scuffing and sometimes a couple of hairline scratches that don’t affect play. May play with minor surface noise. I try to note any defects in the description.
VG: May have some more intense scuffing and more than a few hairline scratches. Still shouldn’t skip. Probably plays with surface noise that is noticeable but doesn’t ruin the listening experience. I try to note any defects in the description.
Good/Fair/Poor: I won’t sell anything with these grades unless they have high collectable value.

Side 3 Please note that poster is separated at the seams into four sections. Photos in VG+ condition. 1.5 inch splits on both on both front and rear upper seams.
