The last original Beatles album in my collection is for sale!

I am the original owner of this album, I acquired it in November 1968. (Wrote that in light pencil on the inner sleeve when I bought it!) Please refer to photos for condition, which I will describe as follows:

The four individual photos are in very good/like new condition- no holes, tape, writing, tears, folds, etc.

The poster has not been opened for many years. Again, no holes, tape, writing, although one there is a small tear ( 1 inch or so) at one fold.

The gatefold cover is in good shape considering its age. On the front gatefold, there is a 2 3/4 inch seam split at the top, and a 1 1/4 inch seam split at the bottom. On the rear gatefold, a 2 1/2 inch seam split at top, a 1 1/4 inch seam split at the bottom. Number A2226400 embossed on front.

The front and rear outside covers are in good shape, not much visible ring wear. I kept the original shrink in place for a few years by taping it along the inside of the front and back sleeves. Later, I used a regular LP plastic sleeve. As a result, covers still have some nice shine left.

The original white inner sleeves (somewhat yellowed with age) are here.

I do not have a turntable, and have not played the albums in many years. I do not recall any issues with skips. Although I was very careful with the records in my Beatles collection, I do see a few minor surface scratches here and there.
The labels are clean, with almost no signs of wear.
This is a Scranton pressing.

Smoke-free, pet-free home.

Thanks for looking!
