Grading of this album on sale here.

This album is complete with all the above mentioned.

The outer sleeve remains undamaged and in very good plus condition  with no unwanted writing or staining. Spine is undamaged and fully readable. The sleeve is very clean as it has always been stored in a plastic dust sleeve. (see pictures)

Inner sleeve again is the original as described and is complete with the albums mentioned. Both Sides of Herman’s Hermits, Revolver.

This is in excellent condition.

The Vinyl:

The vinyl has been both visually inspected and play graded on a high end deck.

Visually the vinyl shows nothing more than light inner sleeve removal marks, nothing fellable or has any affect on reproduction.

Labels have very little sign of spindle marks and remain undamaged.

On play grading there is slight static noise that dose not upset the listening pleasure and a good clean would probably reduce this quite a lot.

Overall the complete package is among the nicest I have seen.
