VG+ VINYL CONDITION
Black background, RAINBOW RING W/ WHITE BLOCK VJ LOGO LABELS...Original second series version 2 PRESSING WITH “63-3402” and “63-6403” etched AND “Audiomatrix” stamp IN THE DEADWAXES
Some obvious scuffs and smudges on vinyl but plays through fine, without skipping, with just some light static between tracks but non-audible during the actual songs..gave this record a full listen…PLAYS CLEAN & POWERFUL! Nice, raw, early sound of the Beatles when they were just beginning…a great listen!

VINYL: VG; Hi gloss. Light wear, scuffs and “hairlines”, but nothing deep, does not affect sound, plays through fine without skips….thick inflexible vinyl..static between tracks but not during actual songs..quality strong sound mix/pressing..labels have some light wear..
COVER: VG/VG+; some light shelf/edge/ring wear, but pretty solid..old clear tape along top edge & a persons’ info stamped bottom edge back side..no inner sleeve…
PLAY TESTED: this pressing plays powerfully and clean. Surface noise between tracks.. Great RICH FULL Mono sound fidelity during songs..
Note: because of overall condition this should be considered a “place-keeper” or “reference” example until that minty one comes along…
