LOTS OF BASS-THICK VINYL-FAR THICKER THAN THE WAFER THIN LATER 1970s REPRESSES!

THE DISCS HAVE SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS,THE COVER REMOVAL TYPE BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE.NO NASTY CLICKS,SWISHES,STICKS OR JUMPS! LOVELY CLEAR SOUND WITH NO MAJOR DISTORTION-JUST A LITTLE AT THE SOUND PEAKS OF A FEW OF THE TRACKS BUT THAT IS WITH THE TREBLE FULLY ON AND IS BEING VERY,VERY STRICT!

I ALWAYS PLAY THROUGH TWICE TO ENSURE ANY FAULTS ARE NOTED.

LOTS OF BASS! ALTERNATIVE MIXES TO THE MONO EDITION AND OF COURSE THE EFFECTS ON TRACKS SUCH AS "REVOLUTION #9"ARE OFTEN HARD TO HEAR IN THE MONO VERSION.ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTOR WILL WANT TO OWN BOTH MONO AND STEREO EDITIONS!LOVELY CLEAN LABELS,NO WRITING,STAINING OR SPINDLE WEAR!

PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS OF ALL 4 LABELS! 

THE ORIGINAL BLACK DIE CUT INNER SLEEVES HAVE SOME TINY CREASES BUT ONLY ONE MINOR TEAR NEAR THE CENTRE HOLE OF ONE OF THE INNERS-PLEASE SEE PHOTO #12 FOR THE MINOR TEAR.

THE 4 PHOTOS ARE VERY CLEAN INDEED AND HAVE OBVIOUSLY REMAINED INSIDE THE COVER FOR MOST OF THE LAST 43 YEARS! THEY AHVE NEVER BEEN DISPLAYED ON A WALL WITH NO SELLOTAPE,BLUE TAC,PIN HOLES DAMAGE ETC AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH THE PHOTOS!

THEY ARE ON THICKER CARD THAN LATER REPRINTS AND HAVE WIDER BORDERS!

THE LYRIC/PHOTOS POSTER HAS A FEW TINY CREASES BUT NO RIPS,TEARS,WRITING OR STAINING AND AGAIN AS WITH THE PHOTOS HAS NOT BEEN DISPALYED ON A WALL!

THERE IS ALSO A THIN A4 PAPER"SPACER"SHEET WHICH WAS INSIDE NEXT TO THE PHOTOS WHICH WAS USUALLY THROWN AWAY AT THE FACTORY,SIMPLY USED TO SEPERATE EACH PACKAGE OF 4 PHOTOS-IT'S INCLUDED IN THE MAIN PHOTO!

THE TOP OPENING NUMBERED FULLY LAMINATED+INSIDE FLIPBACKS GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME CREASES AND MINOR STAINING(BUT NOT MUCH INSIDE) AS WELL AS A SMALL "KNIFED"LINE NEAR THE BOTTOM RIGHT AND SOME SPINE WEAR BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! IT DOES STATE STEREO AT THE BACK-THE EARLIEST NUMBERED EDTIONS WERE MONO AS I UNDERSTAND AND AS SUCH THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST TO HAVE A STEREO COVER!

 I AM INCLUDING TWO NICE POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES FOR EXTRA SUPER PROTECTION!  

This highly sought after DOUBLE album rarely turns up for sale as a 100% COMPLETE ORIGINAL ISSUE in such DECENT CONDITION!     

It is so hard to find as good as this example! 

It was from the collection of Mike Coxhead,a well known,succesful and respected British rock music industry businessman who also worked as a roadie and engineer for bands such as PINK FLOYD,THE WHO and LED ZEPPELIN and many more as well as being a guitarist and keen record collector!

The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!

THIS WAS AN ALL TIME FAVOURITE OF MIKE'S AND AS SUCH HAD MORE PLAYS THAN MOST OF HIS LPs BUT IT HAS VERY NICE SOUND AND STILL IN FAR BETTER SHAPE THAN MOST SETS THAT SURVIVE AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE FIRST TO BUY IT HENCE THE LOW NUMBER-THE PRE-ORDER DEMAND FOR THIS BEATLES ALBUM WAS MASSIVE AND AS SUCH MOST BUYERS AFTER THE FIRST FEW WEEKS WOULD HAVE HAD JUST ONE "0"RATHER THAN TWO AS IN THIS EXAMPLE!

MORE THAN 85,000 COPIES WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS SO HERE IS #0084960-PROBABLY LOWER THAN MOST AROUND! 

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

Most that were buying STEREO albums in 1968 were usually using dreadful equipment-sometimes playing on mono only equipment in error! 

An ideal opportunity to add an ESSENTIAL DOUBLE album set in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
