The Beatles For Sale LP Album UK 1st Pressing VG+/VG+ and original inner sleeve included.
Matrix #s - YEX-142-1 & YEX-143-1 - Mothers/Stampers are (Hard to tell 3 or 5) 3-AO & 1-MR
Record has some light scratches and swirls typical of a 50+ year old LP that do not affect playback. No skips. Based on playback quality I'm calling it VG+. Visually only, it looks in VG condition. Vacuum cleaned and then play tested on both sides. Apart from some minor surface noise (mostly heard only in between songs) it's pretty quiet. I guess those deep grooves can handle some surface scratches without any issues. Laminated sleeve has some wear and creasing like all the old flimsy U.K. ones. VG to VG+
It will be shipped in a resealable outer sleeve with the record outside the sleeve for protection plus a new audiophile inner sleeve and then shipped in a cardboard record mailer.
