Visibly scuffed and scratched. Some particularly serious looking ones on side 2.
'Sellick' written in blue biro on the '£' logo on side 1.
Played both sides, with pops and crackles evident. Would have graded it 'Good' but it skips during 'Drive my Car' and I'm 'Looking Through You'.
I've included a short video so that you can hear some of the playback. Selected Norwegian Wood for no other reason than I like the song. If you'd like to hear clips of other tracks, or the skips, please feel free to ask.
Sleeve is in very good condition for it's age. Intact on all closed sides. Some creases and age related discolouration on the paper back.
Would make a great display piece, or if you need a replacement sleeve.
