Description
Early 1970s issue, this has an unusual combination of sleeve attributes;
Sleeve has no “Stereo” on the front but it is a flipback with Garrod & Lofthouse “patents pending”. I believe those with no “stereo” on the front are generally not flipback or, if they are, a patent number is usually present.
The label has “the Gramophone company...” rim text with 2 EMI boxes and “Made in Gt Britain” at the bottom.
matrix nos are: YEX 126-1 / 127-1
The vinyl looks EX, clean and shiny, with light surface marks / hairlines. I’ve played it all through on a Rega turntable and it played superbly, no skips or sticking, no crackle, no distortion, silence between most tracks.
The labels are clean with only a couple of spindle traces
The sleeve is in EX condition, just general light wear, no rips / tears, no splits or handwriting.
The original inner is in excellent condition no splits or rips.
The vinyl has been cleaned on my pro-ject VC-S cleaning machine using non-alcohol based fluid.
Please see photos.
I’m also selling some other Beatles vinyl from my collection, see my other listings.
International postage may be less than the quoted amount depending on location.
If you have any questions please ask.
-----------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spotlight. Play testing is done on my Pro-ject or Rega turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening. I will pack with the record removed from the outer sleeve.
Mint (M) - 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 marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX) - 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 (VG) - 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 (G) - 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
