OVERALL PLAYING GRADE: Side 1 (VG) Side 2 (VG-) Both sides play well with light and mild background crackle/static noticeable in places during the music. The majority of both sides play at least VERY GOOD if not higher. Side 1 has a few light pops during 'Rock n Roll Music' & 'Follow The Sun'. Side 2 has a few pops during 'Honey Don't' & 'Everything Little Thing'. This record has been stored for a long time and may benefit from a professional clean.  No skips no jumps and no distortion! The music sound quality is amazing - far superior to any CD remaster or re-press with real warmth and detail. A rare Beatles UK Mono 1st press album that is still very presentable and playable not to be missed!

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING

All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.

M (Mint) : The Record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EX (Excellent): The Record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG (Very Good) : The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

G (Good) : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

F (Fair) : The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
