THE COVER
IN MY OPINION, FOR A 40 YEAR OLD RECORD, THE COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH ‘THE BEATLES’ EMBOSSED ON THE FRONT COVER AND ‘NO 0069310’ IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER. THIS REMAINS PERFECTLY CLEAR. THE SPINE DOES HAVE SOME WEAR AND SLIGHT SPLITTING OF THE LAMINATE AND THE WRITING IS STILL JUST LEGIBLE. THE CORNERS AND EDGES HAVE MODERATE WEAR. HOWEVER THE LAMINATE ON THE FRONT, THE BACK AND ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT REMAINS SHINY. THERE IS NO WRITING, STICKERS, TEARS OR UNGLUING. THIS IS A SOLID COVER FOR A 40 YEAR OLD ALBUM.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN GOOD CONDITION.
RECORD ONE DOES HAVE SURFACE MARKS AND THE ODD LIGHT SCRATCH. BUT ON PLAYING IT PLAYS THROUGH VERY GOOD WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS. ANY SURFACE MARKS ARE NOT THAT NOTICEABLE TO THE EAR.
RECORD TWO HAS SURFACE MARKS AND A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES VISABLE. IT DOES PLAY THROUGH HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF SKIPS, WHICH CAN BE HEARD. THE REST OF THE RECORD SOUNDS EXCELLENT WITH VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY.
THE POSTER
THE POSTER IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION. IT IS THE RARE POSTER WITH THE LIPSTICK KISS. IT HAS PHOTOS ON THE FRONT AND LYRICS ON THE BACK. IT HAS NO PIN HOLES OR BLU TAC STAINS. IT HAS NO RIPS OR TEARS BUT THERE IS WEAR TO THE CREASES WHERE IT HAS BEEN FOLDED. THERE ARE SOME SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION SPOTS.
THE PHOTOS
– PAUL, JOHN, GEORGE AND RINGO
THE FOUR PHOTOS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THEY HAVE NO PIN HOLES OR BLU TAC STAINS. NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY CREASING OR TEARS. THEY REMAIN CLEAN AND COLOUR BRIGHT. THE WHITE BACKS JUST HAVE SOME SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION.
THE INNERS
THE ORIGINAL BLACK DIE CUT INNER SLEEVES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. THEY DO HAVE SOME CREASING, SEAM SPLITS AND TEARS TO THE CENTRE HOLE.
OVERALL A GREAT BEATLE’S CLASSIC WHICH IS BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND.
THIS RECORD WILL BE POSTED ROYAL MAIL SIGNED FOR. IT WILL BE PACKAGED WITH ADEQUATE STIFFENERS TO PROTECT IT AND ENSURE IT ARRIVES TO YOU SAFELY.
