CONDITION
DISC: This Australian 1st pressing STEREO LP with the earliest UK matrices is in NEAR MINT condition. It's difficult to find any sign of use, and please keep in mind that NEAR MINT is my highest grade for an opened LP. Both old-style Parlophone labels look almost unused; Side 2 shows a couple of spindle trails.
The Beatles were selling in the millions, but Australia had only about 20% of the UK population in 1966, and many fewer LPs were pressed there. To find ANY 1st pressing Beatles LP -- let alone one from Australia -- in NEAR MINT condition is just short of miraculous.

COVER: The Australian EMI-made front-laminated cover is in NEAR MINT condition, with only mild age-toning. The cover is in unbelievable condition, and its twin flipback construction make it an attractive alternative to its commonplace UK counterpart.

INNER SLEEVE: The polythene sleeve (which may not be original) is in EXCELLENT condition.

GRADING INFORMATION
- I grade conservatively. MINT is a sealed LP; NEAR MINT is an open LP/cover
with virtually no signs of use/wear; EXCELLENT is a well-looked-after LP/cover
with light signs of use/wear; VERY GOOD+ is an LP/cover with average signs of
use/wear but is not trashed. - I use unforgiving sunlight and incandescent light to visually grade each LP.
- I don’t make unverifiable claims as to how many plays a non-sealed LP has had.
