THE BEATLES “The Beatles First” orig UK Polydor NM

1967/UK/Polydor 236 201….This is a clean original UK first pressing of this scarce lp. Early tracks from Hamburg Germany circa 1961. The laminated front Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. Cover is in clean strong VG+ to VG++ condition, the corners have light creases/dings, a few very short light creases on outer edges, the back has a couple of very light full vertical creases that make the back seam a bit rippled, nothing serious really (it appears caused by the construction of the cover from new), there is some light crushing on the opening edge near the center and on the lower left edge, otherwise the cover is very clean with no splits, perfect spine, no writing or other issues. The vinyl is in NM like brand new condition! A beautiful copy here! Pleasae check my auctions for other rock and psych lp’s. Thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid!
