Vinyl: EX.  Both surfaces have a just over the counter sheen. Two wispy hairlines  and paper retraction traces under a strong light on side 2. The LP plays to an extremely high standard with superb clarity, no groove-wear and no distortion and is very strictly graded a strong EX for audio. This vinyl, unlike most Beatles records, has been well preserved and only played minimally. As such an exceptional copy.

  A great copy!! Of course, NO skips, NO jumps, NO ticks.




 Sleeve: VG++ to EX.  A really nice example. Mid MONO. The spine is 100% as is the opening. Sharp edges without wear. This is in great condition and barely ever found like this. Light thumb creases and underlaminate mini creases but no tears , no writing etc. Even the rear is in very nice condition. Please have a look at all pictures to inform your bid. Of course  NO tears, NO creases and NO writing.


The original inner "EMITEX" sleeve with "Rice paper" inners is still present without any splits.



 


Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 20.00.  These fees in England have gone up significantly last May. Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.


 

***This is a unique prime investment opportunity!!! Finding this classic album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is  a great and seriously collectible super album!!  You will buy into a piece of  superb prog history.*** 





 

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

 

 

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
