I GRADE VERY STRICTLY FOLLOWING ROUGHLY THE GOLDMINE GUIDELINES AS AN OUTLINE.  I WANT YOU TO GET THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE SO YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.

LOOK AT THE GOLDMINE GUIDELINES HERE:

RECORD GRADING: EX-

LABELS ARE CLEAN.  PRISTINE, BRIGHT, CLEAR AUDIO PLAYBACK.  UNUSUAL 7" EP THAT PLAYS AT 33 RPM.  SOUND QUALITY IS REALLY TERRIFIC SAVE FOR A BIT OF CRACKLE ON "I'M DOWN".  I'LL TAKE THE JAPANESE VINYL AND PRESSINGS ALMOST EVERY TIME.  I TRANSFERRED THE RECORD FROM IT'S ORIGINAL SLEEVE TO A BRAND NEW VINYL INNER TO PROTECT THE RECORD.  THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE IS STILL INCLUDED AND IN GREAT SHAPE.  SEE GRADING BELOW.  THIS RECORD GRADES "EXCELLENT MINUS".

SLEEVE GRADING: EX

TERRIFIC LOOKING ORIGINAL SLEEVE SAVE FOR A COUPLE OF MINOR CREASES.  THICK BRIGHT LOOKING GLOSSY COVER.  FOLDOVER FLAPS TO BACK COVER.  ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE STRAIGHT.  INCLUDES SEPARATE LYRIC SHEET IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  I TRANSFERRED ALL CONTENTS TO A BRAND NEW OUTER VINYL COVER FOR PROTECTION.  THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY BEATLE FAN'S COLLECTION.  GRADES "EXCELLENT".

MATRIX NUMBERS:

SIDE 1: S7EJ-164 33 6L 7K 8A

SIDE 2: S7EJ-165 33
