We grade the beautiful gatefold cover remaining in the original distributor Sears baggy as Excellent Plus. The cover is very clean and doesn t have any splits, wear, writing, soiling or residue. The front cover only has some very light age scuffing and a little hint of ring wear at the top. The back cover as well as the interior gatefold cover are in Near Mint Minus condition. The rigid spine contains a fully readable text. The vinyl is graded conservatively as follows:
Introducing The Beatles Side 1/2: Strong Very Good Plus, closer to the Excellent Plus side. It has only a few very light non-feelable marks and hairlines. The vinyl retains its shiny glossy factory lacquer. The Side 1 label is in pristine Near Mint Condition and Side 2 label is Excellent Plus only having a couple of super light barely visible spindle marks that can be seen under a strong light. Both labels are very clean and are scuff- and wear-free.
The Golden Hits of The Four Seasons Side 1/2: Very Good Plus. The vinyl retains its factory gloss only having some very light non-feelable surface hairlines and marks as well as scuffs from the original inner sleeve. The labels are very clean and in Near Mint Minus condition, scuff- and wear-free, only having a couple of very light spindle marks that can be seen under a strong light.
Both records sound amazing only having some very light occasional static which most likely will go away if the record is professionally cleaned using a VPI cleaning machine. The original red Vee-Jay Records inner sleeves are in Near Mint condition without having any splits or tears, just like the original poster which is also in great condition.
