You’re looking at a super nice copy of this historic 46 YEAR OLD ALBUM that has a NEAR MINT VALUE of $160.00!  Here are the conditions:
 


ALBUM COVER:  (VG+) A beautiful example of this historic 46 YEAR OLD ALBUM COVER. (SEE IMAGES.) 
Front: The front cover slick is in great condition.  The photo of the Beatles looks great with only the slightest hint of ring wear starting to show. The white parts along the edges and at the top are bright and clean. The open edge shows a little yellowing, a few tiny dents, and a small, but noticeable, crease at the bottom corner. (SEE IMAGES.)    

Back: (#3 near RIAA symbol. "Needle Damage" warning & no George Martin credit.) The rear cover isn't quite as good as the front, but it's still pretty darn good. The white background shows only some very minor ring wear.  There is also some light yellowing and a few minor dings along the open end. There are also a few small wrinkles and one dent along the spine.  These shortcomings are minor and do little to take away from what is still a pretty nice looking rear cover that is usually found in much worse condition.  (SEE IMAGES.)  
Seams: The top and bottom seams are super solid and have no splits.  There is a small amount of crinkling on the bottom seam near the spine and a little wear from the aforementioned crease at the open corner.
Open Edge: Has a tiny ding on the top corner and that solid crease at the bottom corner.   
Spine: A great looking spine with all text clearly legible. Only some crinkling and two microscopic corner dings keep it from being perfect.  (SEE IMAGES.)    

VINYL:  (VG+)  A beautiful sounding example of this historic 46 YEAR OLD RECORD ALBUM. (SEE IMAGES.)
Record: Play tested.  No skips. This record sounds NEAR MINT. It’s whisper quiet between songs with hardly a “pop” to be heard. Still has most of its original luster.  Some minor jacket rubs & some very light scratches are the only thing keeping me from grading this record a NEAR MINT.      Labels: Both labels look fantastic.  (SEE IMAGES.)  
Sleeve: Has original light blue East Coast Capitol sleeve (12 TC-1) in pretty nice condition except for 3 small splits in the typical spots.  (The record will be shipped inside a new generic sleeve in order to protect the original sleeve.)
