PLEASE READ EVERYTHING!
A very clean set with the well known BUNGALOW BILL typo issued in 1968.  What a great many collectors and sellers alike do not apparently know is that the very earliest label pressings had six (6) typos including Bungalow Bill.  The story goes that as the presses began kicking them out John Lennon was privy to a new copy as the lads each 0000001 pressings, he saw the errors and had the presses stopped and the labels corrected.  The typos are as follows....

Typo OBLADI-OBLADA was supposed to read Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da
Typo BUNGALOW BILL was supposed to read The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill
Typo ROCKY RACOON is actually spelled incorrectly on every pressing ever issued but in the USA we spell it differently, this is the UK spelling
Typo REVOLUTION No. 1 was supposed to read Revolution 1
Typo REVOLUTION No. 9 was supposed to read Revolution 9
Typo GOODNIGHT was supposed to read Good Night

SIDE FOUR MATRIX ~ SWBO4-101-J44 11

I've performed three full plays for play grading on quiet, medium and loud volumes.

RECORD 1 (S1/S2) both VISUALLY GRADED as MINT MINUS and PLAY GRADED as NEAR MINT
No scuffing (almost none under direct light), No scratches, hairlines or imperfections and a beautiful rainbow sheen.  Plays with only very, very light sporadic static crackle in just a couple of spots, this may clean away as I do not have a comprehensive cleaner and on each play the static was in a different spot.

RECORD 2 (S3/S4) are VISUALLY GRADED as S3/NEAR MINT & S4 MINT MINUS and both PLAY GRADED as NEAR MINT
Side 3 has one single hairline that extend diagonally across the whole side, it cannot be felt by a fingertip and is not heard beyond 2 or 3 actual tics which do not repeat with each rotation, they are sporadic. There are No scratches (and No paper scuffing seen under direct light) and No imperfections or marks. S4 is spotless as S1 & 2 are, no Paper scuffing under light and No hairlines, scratches or marks....both sides play beautifully (No pops, clicks or repeating tics) with Revolution No. 9 displaying static crackle during a portion of the first minute or two, it is not at all obtrusive.
 (seems like R9 always has crackle on every copy I have ever heard, new or used).

LABELS are MINT No writing and No spindle marks.

GATED JACKET #A1659899 is GRADED as EXCELLENT  No seam splits, No ring wear,  No writing and the title seam is fully legible despite some speckled stains.  The inside has No cracking at the hinge as is so prominent generally in these jackets.  The exterior has some marginal staining from general handling.  (see photos and enlargements) When I first acquired this set 3 seams were beginning to split, I repaired them extremely well from the inside reinforcing them with heavy white xerox paper cut into strips about 1/2" wide and various lengths and then glued (hot glue gun) to the inside of each seam, the only seam you can see a paper split above the repair is the bottom right (see photo enlargements). This repairs are only seen when looking into the pockets and is guaranteed a solid, professional repair. The records in their original inner sleeves still easily slide into the pockets, though I store all my lp's with the record behind the jackets in plastic record bags.
If you need a photo looking into the pocket just ask.

POSTER & PHOTOS are printed MADE IN THE USA
The poster has no tears but some seam wear that is light.  The photos are clean but one has a small creased corner with a tiny tear, perhaps 1/18th of an inch (see photos), they are in EX condition, not mint but clean and fine.
