Vinyl Condition: EX to Nr Mint Visually the vinyl is in an Unmarked condition on all 4 disc sides and have Barely been played in 42 years are in exceptional condition - These is 1st Press Vinyl discs at least has not been played to destruction like most - Has been carefully played only a minimal amount of times over the early years and probably hasn't been played for over 40 years and shows nothing but only light use over the 42 years of its age - With NO needle mark scratches or any other bad marks that I can visually see or detect on close inspection of Sides 1,2,3 or 4  On even closer examination under a strong halogen bulb it reveals nothing more than a few light hairlines here and there with some usual insignificant disc inner sleeve removal feint wispy light lines/scuffs here and there that absolutely dosen't effect the virtually near perfect audio playback (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall exceptional condition of all 4 disc vinyl surfaces) - The vinyl's still retains all there original jet black shiny gloss mirror like sheen and lustre - It would be still very hard to find  better vinyl copies of this 1st Stereo Pressing -  Records are still a Superb Example!!!  

Please Note: This record has been stored away and not touched or cleaned for most of it's 42 years it would obviously benefit from a professional clean  before play as to reduce further any light dust static crackle that is still present

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  - SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY AND POWER ON AUDIO PLAYBACK END TO END - Audio is Graded as Near Mint  - This vinyl visually looks like its not been played that much and appears to have very few light and minor blemishes across the vinyl surfaces and shows NO heavy marks or scratches still looks a great example - There are No Clicks,pops,skips,jumps or repeats and shows No other annoying  audio noise distortions during playback If I'm going to be Ultra Critical whilst listening through the playback you may get occasionally when the very quiet tracks begin to play or on the start of run ins and inbetween tracks and the very quieter elements of audio playback or if at all  you may get some very light static crackle for a second or two and then it just fades away  but absolutely nothing of any consequence that will spoil your overall enjoyment on this 42 year old outstanding and exceptional Iconic Classic Album - Overall  its just a Fantastic listening Experience that comes from this near Perfect Dynanmic Stereo Audio performance!!! 

 Labels Condition: EX+  The labels being the Original Apple Dark Green labels that are very clean and virtually unmarked condition being a strong excellent or more with very little wear around the spindle hole Under a bright Halogen light it shows some mild feint spider trail traces near the spindle hole of side 1 & 2 on both sides But is evident that sides 3 & 4 have barely been played maybe (2-3 times) and a lot less than the other disc Its certainly very obvious that when it was ever played the discs were handled with care and well looked after and they certainly have never been overplayed in there 42 year life span 

Cover Condition: EX+ to Nr.MINT  An Original UK made and printed Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd 'TOP' opening internal Flipback Laminated Gatefold sleeve with 'THE BEATLES' Embossed on the front side and with the Unique stamped Number - This superb Cover is just exceptional and an amazing example of a well preserved cover showing hardly any Handling wear over 42 years in all its original vibrant Creamy White colour like its near on Perfect Unblemished in appearance - That's totally intact with razor sharp straight edges and excellent pointed corners - The cover looks to be virtually Unmarked - Flat crisp and incredibly clean and showing all it's original warm white colour  across the entire Cover outside and inside on opening the gatefold sleeve it creaks when opening as it's never really been opened that many times over the years and looks virtually untouched and shows just a few light laminate crease blemishes in some places - But with NO major and that noticable Laminate creasing,Laminate lifting or Bubbles,With No real noticable edge wear and  No Colour lifting or other bad blemishes etc - I'm really struggling to find much fault that's worth while to mention on this Superb and Stunning looking cover - If im going to be Ultra Critical and I look very closely and hard there is some mild and very light mild storage scuff wear along the opening edges and a liitle rub wear on the corner tips and also a few very small light laminate top of surface creases along the corners in 2 places on the front and a few very mild light and small laminate edge creases in places around the cover and that's it! and I do mean light! is not that noticable (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall Exceptional and Superb condition of cover) - I'm Confident to state it's one of the very best iv'e ever seen that's not falling apart and it would be very hard to improve or better this cover!!! 

Spine Condition: Nr.MINT The Laminated Spine is incredibily clean intact and virtually near perfect - Shows NO Laminate lifting,bubbles,Edge wear or any other noticable wear - With all written text still showing to be bold clear legible and perfectly worded as if it had just been printed at the factory!!! You won't find one Better that has NO Wear to really mention it's Just AMAZING!!! 

4 Portrait Photos of the Beatles: MINT Condition - Perfect as 'NEW' Untouched and Unused never really been handled in 42 years have just been housed inside the gatefold cover for the last 42 years 

Factory folded 'Kiss' Poster: MINT This Original Gigantic sized Poster has never been fully unfolded since NEW!!! Just like the Photos it also has been Untouched and unused and housed inside the gatefold cover since purchase in 1968!!!

Inner Sleeves: EX+ The original Black matt record company sleeves with are both immaculate and look Suberb - Both in an original very clean intact condition and shows no evidence of any real handling wear over it's lifetime - NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting,Stickers or other Blemishes around the outer cover - Apart from on the two covers there shows ONLY one very small slight tear and 2 small nicks and the other 1 small tear and 1 small nick around the center hole of inner sleeve (hardly that noticable) - These 2 inner sleeves are the Best by far that I've seen they usually look like they are in shreds and falling apart or the vinyl is not housed in them anymore due to the fact they have fallen apart over the early years!!!

 The overall Brilliant Pristine condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb dry storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record over it's Lifetime!!!
