DETAILS
HERE WE HAVE IN MY PERSONAL OPINION ONE OF THE RAREST "BEATLES" ALBUMS ON THE PLANET. IT IS A STEREO 1ST PRESSING WITH THE EARLIEST MATRIX ENDINGS OF -2 / -2 AND 'JOBETE CREDITING ON THE LABEL. BUT IT ALSO HAS THE MISPRESSES OF 'GOTTA' ON THE SLEEVE & LABEL IT SHOULD BE 'GOT A' & IT ALSO HAS THE 'DOMION' MISPRESS WHICH SHOULD BE 'DOMINION' ON THE LABEL.
THE LABEL ALSO SHOWS "PARLOPHONE CO LTD" & "FIRST PUBLISHED IN". IT ALSO HAS THE LARGE STEREO ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE. TRUELY IS ONE OF THE RAREST RECORDS OUT THERE.
CONDITION
THE RECORD IS IN V.GOOD++ / EXCELLENT-- CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES WHICH DO NOT AFFECT PLAY. THERE IS ONE OR TWO DEEPER SCRATCHES ON THE SIDE 2 THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE PLAY A LITTLE BUT YOU CANNOT FEEL THEM AND I DON'T THINK THEY WILL AFFECT PLAY MAJORLY IF AT ALL, I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT V.GOOD++ IS A LOW GRADE BUT I SUPPOSE I'D RATHER STICK WITH MY GRADING THAN CHANGE IT. THE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SPINDLE MARKS BUT NOTHING MAJOR. THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT- CONDITION WITH JUST SOME LIGHT CREASING AND A BIT OF AGEING ALSO SOME LIGHT EDGE SCUFFING TO THE OPENING EDGE BUT NOTHING MAJOR.ALSO I HAVE TAKEN LOTS OF PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE SLEEVE. THIS IS NOT A MINT COPY BUT IT IS ALOT BETTER THAN MOST ON EBAY AND I CAN GUARANTEE IT IS A HARD RECORD TO FIND ONE BETTER.
OVERALL I WOULD RATE THIS RECORD IN EXCELLENT- CONDITION
