The Beatles The Early Beatles Capitol T 2309 West Coast Mono VG.
Cover VG. Pretty nice viewed overall. Up close reveals some issues. Top left corner bump (top right on back cover). Spine is intact but has yellowed slightly and paper separation/wrinkling is present. No seam splits. Slight stain under T2309 on front top cover, discoloration on back cover corner area around the RIAA symbol. Printed at factory "3".Solid cover, but not pristine.
Disc: VG. Visually under bright light, Side 1 has 4-5 noticeable scratches, one (pictured ) is a "feelable" one. Others are not. Side 2 has no scratches like Side 1,but multiple very light surface scratches.
Playwise: Side 1 -Low level crackle is consistent in between tracks. This is only noticeable if you have it cranked up fairly loud-I don't hear it if it's at normal listening levels. Disappears when the music starts unless it's a ballad or a quieter number e.g., like on "Boys" or "Twist & Shout", you don't hear it. Side 2 is even quieter. Hardly any noise in between tracks. There is a skip in "Anna" which is caused by the aforementioned "feelable" scratch above. It causes 2 jumps on my turntable, not repeats, just a move forward. No skips afterwards. I would call the disc VG overall when all factors are weighed in.
