COVER :: ORIGINAL, FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD LOFTHOUSE Ltd, PATENTS PENDING, WITH LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, WITH JUST SOME BITS OF LIGHT RUB AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, AND THE LAMINATE HAS NO LIFT, JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND THE BACK IS VERY CLEAN, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS, JUST A FEW LIGHT HANDLING MARK, AND SO FOR AN ORIGINAL COVER, IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE :: VG /EX- .
VINYL :: THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO JUMPS, SKIPS, STICKS, CLICKS, POPS, STATIC, OR CRACKLE, AND IS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO, AND ALL I HEARD WAS...
ON SIDE 1 :: BEAUTIFUL CLEAR MONO AUDIO, WITH JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK 6, AND WITH THREE FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 6 AND TRACK 7.
ON TRACK 7, THERE IS ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END, AND AT THE VERY END AND INTO THE RUN OFFS, FIVE VERY FAINT POPS, WHICH HONESTLY DO NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE AUDIO
ON SIDE 2 :: JUST BEAUTIFUL CLEAR MONO AUDIO .
VISUALLY, UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT HARMLESS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, WHICH JUST HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. NOW ON SIDE 1 THERE IS A NOTICEABLE HAIRLINE ON TRACK 3,4,5,6, AND 7, AND MORE NOTICEABLE ON TRACK 6 AND TRACK 7 AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO . NOW HONESTLY IT IS NOT FEELABLE BUT DOES HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT ONLY, AND ALSO HAS TO BE MENTIONED, AND AS YOU HAVE SEEN BY THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION ABOVE, NOTHING REALLY TO WORRY ABOUT
SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND I AM GOING TO SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE ONLY BECAUSE OF TRACK 7, WITH A SLIGHT BIT MORE GOING ON, SO.....
ALL OF TRACKS ON SIDE 1, EXCLUDING TRACK 7, AND ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A SUPERB :: EX .

YET ANOTHER BEATLES CLASSIC, AND AN ORIGINAL 1965 1st PRESS, WITH 1st LABEL LAYOUT, AND IT PLAYS LOVELY, AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WHEN YOU PLAY IT. THERE IS THAT MORE NOTICEABLE HAIRLINE AS DESCRIBED ON SIDE 1, BUT PLEASE DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY THIS AS THE AUDIO IS BRILLIANT THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE.
DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU
IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU
TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE
