This is probably the last legit vinyl pressing of the this album's mono mix before the (now astronomically expensive) mono reissues of 2013. Vinyl is really nice, with just a few very light hairline scuffs that do not affect play. Plays through with minimal surface noise and no skips on my Rega turntable. The jacket would be close to that but... there is a 1" spot on the upper left corner of the back of the sleeve where a sticker had been removed which tore away a small piece of the slick. This is a minor flaw which is on the back, but it is there (see picture). Other than that, this is a very nice copy, and an affordable way to own the definitive mix of this early Beatles classic. Comes with original EMI poly-lined paper sleeve. 

[IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ] In the past year, I have experienced issues with USPS, namely light damage to packages during shipment, especially when using Media Mail. These incidents have not been common, but they have occurred. I pack all records carefully with reenforced cardboard and use whiplash mailers whenever possible. This usually offers ample protection. That said, I cannot be held responsible to damage done to records by the USPS during shipment. If your item is of significant value, I recommend using USPS Priority, which will ensure it. Please let me know if you would like to go with this service, and I will adjust the shipping cost after the auction is over! 

I try to grade all of my records as conservatively and accurately as I can. When buying older records, please keep in mind that records do play differently on different equipment. When I have play-tested a record, I will indicate that I have done so and the equipment used. At the moment, I am not set up to provide recording samples. 

Please also note that used records are antiques, and even those in the best of condition occasionally have minor imperfections or “quirks”. These can include light surface noise and pops due to manufacturing defects (when not indicated by me), yellowing or fading from light exposure, degradation of sleeves or liners due to age, or odors, such as cigarette smoke, from storage in previous owners’ homes. These imperfections generally are not grounds for a return or refund. 

Please honor the terms of the sale if you are the winning bidder. If you are not able to pay the amount of your highest bid, then please don’t bid. 

I am a serious collector and probably buy more than I sell. While it's certainly nice to make a few bucks here and there, I do this to support my vinyl habit more than anything. That said, it is my top priority for my customers to be happy and satisfied. If you are ever unsatisfied with an item you have purchased, please email me. I am a reasonable person and, within reason, I will do my best to work out a solution to any problem that arises. My very high feedback rating on eBay speaks for itself.
