Media Condition: Retains some original sheen. Some light and moderate scratches, scuffs and signs of use throughout & some Spindle label wear, visually I would grade VG but sounds EX to ex+ throughout all 4 sides. Some crackle on run in at the beginning of sides, but audio quality is rich with no signs of deterioration and very little background noise through the tracks. Bass is particularly vibrant and dynamic. Where light scratches and blemishes occur, these are inaudible. A very playable set of discs!

Sleeve Condition:  - Cover has a few creases and marks, sleeves a bit ruffled, poster and white paper insert have a few light creases but essentially flat with no pin holes, blu tack etc., & pics are fresh, flat and no pin holes, blu tack etc. EX - See Pics. eBay only allows 12 pics - I can send more if required.

A rare opportunity to purchase a very nice complete Initial numbered edition with top opening G & L gatefold sleeve, black inners, poster & 4 colour 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 of The Beatles was promptly released with the corrected labels.

The Album will be professionally deep cleaned using our own multi-frequency Ultrasonic equipment.

Grading & Valuation

Our Grading Guarantee explained:

We Grade your record carefully following the Record Collector Guide using many years of experience. However, grading is ultimately subjective and despite being very strict, we may not always please everyone. Please do not leave negative feedback if you are not fully satisfied. We offer a full No Quibble Return, Swap or Refund and we are here to help.

In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, cassettes and CDs. Anyone buying or selling records through the magazine must use our conditions to state what amount of wear and tear the disc, its sleeve and/or contents have been subject to. The seven standard condition categories, and a description of what each one means, are listed below:

MINT (M) : The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
