Cover: Garrod & Lofthouse 1st UK pressing top loader without the 'stereo' text on the rear cover. Embossed The Beatles and nice clear very low number. No writings, doodles or seam splits. Some light spine wear (see photo 2) which compares the wide-spine with a regular spine. Inside is Excellent with nice firm inner flip-backs. Outside has some laminate creasing/cracking/scratching and rates as VG (see photo 3). Cover rates as VG+ overall.
Black inner sleeves: Near Excellent. Couple of small tears around the die-cut.
Photos:Mint.
Photo 'spacer': Near Mint.
Poster: Mint.
Labels: Near Mint. No writings, stickers or doodles.
Vinyl: Play tested. Sides 1 & 2 look Near Excellent with some lightish non-feelable marks only. Playback is Excellent+. Sides 3 & 4 look VG+ to Near Excellent and plays Excellent to Excellent+. Barely any background throughout all four sides (just a touch in quiet moments) and no skips/jumps - one of the best I have heard in a long while. Fabulous playback sound.

Excellent - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and light scratches.
Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and more significant scratches.
Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, it may even jump.
Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc
Bad - The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
