CONDITION
The Vinyl grades as VERY GOOD+
The record has several light hairline scratches under a strong light not deep or feel able, but doesn't effect the Audio at all, which is surprisingly Clear and bright. No skips ,pops, but background crackle evident throughout, only really noticeable between tracks, but when music kicks in it drowns any other background interference out mainly. Obviously been played many times but still retains a clean glossy finish.
I believe with a professional clean (which I do not have access to) a lot of the crackle would disappear, possibly upgrading this to an excellent grading audio experience from this holy grail of Beatles Vinyl collecting
Gold labels are VG+ Clean and fully legible, minimal centre hole wear, spindle trails, couple of fine scratches (See Pictures)
The Outer Sleeve with the famous very First Angus McBean far right credit on front (unlike some others ive seen recently trying to masquerade as true first sleeves) grades as VG+ on the front. Still retains nice clean laminate shine with no real damage. Sellotape residue evident Corners show wear but very nice overall. Spine clearly and fully legible still.
The back of the sleeve fares slightly worse, grading as VG due to flipback damage at top and bottom, residue of Sellotape repair , but generally clean on the middle section with just age related foxing, price tag scar. So would probably grade overall as a VG+
Original Polylined Emitex Inner grades as Near MINT with no issues at all.
