COVER:
The cover is in very good condition, remember it's 50 years old. There is a tiny tear in the top right side under the 'mono' lettering. The spine lettering is clear and unbroken.The flapjack rear is only slightly worn on the tabs. All can be clearly seen in my photos.
VINYL CONDITION: GOOD
As this is a highly sought after LP, so let's go through the tracks one by one:
1. Taxman: Nice and loud when cranked up no crackles or pops.
2. Eleanor Rigby: It's a quiet track so there is some background noise but no pops just light surface noise. No pops.
3. I'M Only Sleeping: Same as the second track. A couple of light crackles, nothing more. No pops.
4. Love You To: George gets out his sitar on this track and it's nice and clear, no pops at all and just a couple of light crackles in the quiet bits.
5. Here, There And Everywhere: A quiet track with background wear crackles. No pops.
6. Yellow Submarine: Ringo sings for the kids. Background noise. Crackles. No pops
7. She Said She Said: What a lovely track and nice and loud. Plays lovely. No pops
8. Good Day Sunshine: A few light crackles at the beginning and a little background noise. No pops.
9. And Your Bird Can Sing: Nice and loud and sounds great. Guitars nice and clear. No pops.
10. For No One: Same as all the other tracks. Plays great. No pops.
11. Dr. Robert: Plays nice and loud when cranked up. Clear as a bell. Lovely. No pops.
12. I Want To Tell You: Plays great. No pops.
13. Got To get You Into My Life: Paul gets his lungs a going and it sounds great given a bit of volume. No pops.
14. Tomorrow Never Knows: George is back with his sitar and this is beautiful. No pops. The backward guitar parts sound brilliant when given some twisting of the volume control. No pops.
