The top loading gatefold sleeve, numbered 0069851, is a strong VG+ with no significant damage, fully legible spine, just minor wear / creasing

Disc 2 (sides 3 & 4 ) is VG+, no jumps or sticking, some light marks, a few soft clicks and light crackle noticeable mostly in the gaps but not overly intrusive.

Sides 1 & 2 aren’t so good - Fair to Good….

Disc 1 has some visible scratches, in particular side 1 has a circular scratch that causes a couple of jumps (on my Planar 2 anyway) on “Ob-La-Di” as well as a scratch that produces some audible clicks on “Dear Prudence” for a minute or so. The rest of side 1 plays fine with no other issues.

Side 2 is mostly fine but has a subtle jump on “I Will” as well as some quiet clicks on “Rocky Raccoon”. Otherwise plays welll with just the odd bit of surface noise.

If you can tolerate the skips and occasional clicks the sound is still decent, free of persistent background noise and certainly listenable. Please note that different turntables may generate different playback issues.

Both vinyls have been cleaned on a pro-ject VC-S machine and come in new lined inners.

All 4 photos are in great shape, no creasing or rips.

The poster is still holding together, it is very creased and the folds have splits, the top 2 squares are almost separated from the middle 2 squares - handle with care!

The black inners both have splits on the bottom and side seams and both have small rips along the opening and around the centre cutout.

UK record collector grading, I would only use Mint for a genuinely unplayed record.

Will be packed in a MusicMax mailer with stiffeners
