FIRST UK 1963 MONO PRESSING
BLACK/GOLD PARLOPHONE LABELS
DICK JAMES CREDIT
CONDITION
VINYL: Vinyl ranges from VG to VG+. Light surface/hairline marks but plays with only light ticks & faint crackle mostly heard between tracks. Small blemish mark on track 'There's A Place' which causes faint audible noise but does not spoil listening. A fairly clean play overall. Label has previous owner's name in biro on side 2 but not overall noticeable & otherwise very clean overall. Professionally cleaned with an Okki Nokki vinyl cleaning machine.
SLEEVE: Ranges from Fair to Good. Front of sleeve has some light biro marks of the names under each Beatle otherwise fairly clean. Back of sleeve has fair amount of biro marks (see pictures) and age discolouration. Evidence of cellotape repair. Long split along bottom flipback.
INNER SLEEVES: Original factory inner has some light crease marks but fairly clean and very solid.
ALL VINYL IS GRADED USING THE BELOW RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE'S GRADING GUIDE:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
