AND THE FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER WITH A TOP OPENING. THERE IS THE INDIVIDUAL RAISED PRINT NUMBER WHICH IS 0050241-VERY LOW AND AS SUCH BOUGHT WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF ISSUE IN 1968! 50,000 COPIES WOULD HAVE EASILY BEEN SOLD IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS AND THESE DAYS MOST COPIES WITH SUCH LOW NUMBERS ARE SAFELY WITHIN THE COLLECTIONS OF BEATLES FANATICS OR WHEN THEY TURN UP ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS SET BEING VERY NICE! 

THIS SET OF RECORDS HAS SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT NO DEEP SCRATCHES. THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE/CRACKLE ON SOME OF THE TRACKS MORE NOTICEABLE DURING THE QUIETER PASSAGES WITH A FEW ISOLATED "POPS" AND A COUPLE OF VERY SHORT LIVED LIGHT CLICKS(SUCH AS THE END FADE OUT OF "WHEN MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS") BUT THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS AND PLAY THROUGH VERY WELL WITH THE SOLID,BASS FILLED MONO MIXES-DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO ONES AND OF COURSE MOST MONO SETS WERE PLAYED ON HEAVY,OLD EQUIPMENT-THIS SET HAS BEEN ENJOYED AND PLAYED A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT WAY,WAY BETTER THAN MOST THAT SURVIVE-IDEAL FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CANNOT AFFORD EXCELLENT OR NEAR MINT SETS WHICH CAN SELL FOR £100+++! 

THE RECORDS ARE VERY SERIOUSLY STRICTLY GRADED IN VERY GOOD++++++ CONDITION BUT MOST WOULD HAPPILY STATE NEAR EXCELLENT AND AS SUCH BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!

CLEAN LABELS!HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR!  THE PHOTOS HAVE BEEN KEPT INSIDE THE COVER FOR MOST OF THE LAST 47 YEARS AND ARE VERY CLEAN-ONE OF MY PHOTOS SHOW THE BACKS AS PROOF OR NO SELLOTAPE,BLUE TAC OR PIN HOLES. MANY FANS WOULD DISPLAY THEM ON WALLS.   THE LYRICS/PHOTOS POSTER HAS SOME SPLITS(NOT RIPS)AND SOME CREASES BUT NO WRITING,MAJOR STAINING AND AGAIN NO SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN WALL DISPLAYED. THE TWO SPACERS WHICH ARE THE SAME SIZE OF THE PHOTOS ARE CLEAN-PROVIDED TO PROTECT SCUFFING OF THE PHOTOS INSIDE THE COVER.MOST WERE THROWN OUT WITHIN HOURS OF BEING BOUGHT!   THE FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD TOP OPENING COVER HAS SOME SLIGHT STAINING,A LITTLE SURFACE WEAR AND SOME SMALL CREASES AT THE EDGES BUT THE SPINE DETAILS CAN BE READ EASILY! THE RAISED PRINT "THE BEATLES" AND "No. 0050231" NUMBER ARE SHARP AND CLEAR! SLIGHT STAINING TO THE INSIDE FLIPBACKS. THE BLACK INNERS HAVE SOME CREASES AND A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY TEARS BUT FAR BETTER THAN MOST AND ARE STRICTLY THE ONES THAT CAME WITH THE DISCS! MANY DEALERS SWOP OVER WITH LATER ONES-NOT HERE FRIENDS AND ADDITIONAL POLYLINED INNERS ARE INCLUDED!

 A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.

The vast majority of copies sold of this DOUBLE album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind! Many fans that were buying albums in the 1960s were usually using dreadful equipment! 

An ideal opportunity to add a great DOUBLE album in nice condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
