The vinyl is in Excellent condition. Looks nice and sounds it too! There are some spindle trails on both sides of the labels and some small spots of what looks like dirt on the record grooves, on areas of both sides. That said, the record plays through excellently, confidently and with little noise. The only place you can really hear any is on the space between tracks or the run-in/run-out grooves. I'd recommend summing your cartridge to mono to improve the sound. Overall this cutting is loud, confident and sounds great!
The original Garrod & Lofthouse flipback cover is in Very Good + condition. It's the original first mono version, holding together great and looking the same! There's only some small nitpicks on the front and corners, spots of wear on the laminate, a couple of thumbnail marks and the faintest signs of yellowing. The spine is lovely and readable and the opening has some small signs of wear but it's in nice shape too!
Comes with the original Pre-1966 Emitex inner sleeve and it's in a great condition. Only some small signs of yellowing on it.
Overall this is quite a nice example of this Beatles classic! While there's definitely better out there, this one is no slouch and I think it would be a nice addition to any Beatles collection.
I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you
