ref a match with this : -
Initial numbered edition with top opening G L laminated gatefold sleeve, black inners, poster 4 color prints, dark green Apple labels with Sold In The UK.... text.
This was released in error omitting the text E.M.I. Recording on the label, so a second version The Beatles was promptly released with the corrected labels.

The gatefold sleeve is intact, very nice inside spine has some small tears and laminate lifting and there is the odd dink, scuff etc. A bit of edgewear - all commensurate with age PLEASE VIEW ALL THE PHOTOS
There are 2 black inners - one is in very good condition, the other has been taped a bit and has rips
The poster with lyrics....has a few seam tears and light stains, but intact so not bad
The 4 band portraits are very nice, no pin holes or marks
There is minimal amount of wear from past use on all 4 labels all of them have no emi credit as per the misprint on the very first release...
Vinyl, all 4 sides, shows up many marks, light scuffs and hairlines - it has been well played and enjoyed...
...and, it still is very enjoyable to listen too. There is a bit of crackle here and there, very light mainly , more evident on quiet tracks, but even Julia and Blackbird sound pretty good , Long, Long, Long has a bit more evident crackle - overall very good to listen to///
So, a very good value, low number, rare and sought after original perfectly good to listen to and with all original accompaniments in varied condition - a very nice set all in all.
