Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and ALL sides have NO scratches, only 3 or 4 light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ALL SIDES RETAIN EVERY BIT OF THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the records is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  They play with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, only some VERY low level background crackle in a VERY few places, and only some low level background sound on the run on grooves and VERY quietest parts of the music!!!!  The records must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  BOTH records also come in their ORIGINAL Black inners which are in BRILLIANT condition with NO edge splits AT ALL and NO nasty 'fraying' to the opening edges!!!!  The Poster and the 4 Colour Inserts are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) and they dont look to have EVER left the cover!!!!

The 1st Press Gatefold 'TOP OPENING' Laminated Flipback LOW NUMBERED Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (only slight laminate loss - but NO actual wear), only slight corner wear (still a VERY nice shape to ALL corners), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, STUNNING flipbacks, STUNNING shiny laminate, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, and barely ANY yellowing!!!!  The number on the cover front looks is EXCEPTIONALLY clear and the raised writing of 'The Beatles' is only VERY slightly 'yellowed' and in SUPERB condition!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better and is VERY hard to find in this condition!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!
