***BID WITH CONFIDENCE: Having been a serious Beatles collector since the 1970s, I strive for accurate grading, detailed item descriptions & photos, careful packaging and fast shipping.

* I use visual grading only, unless stated otherwise (or by request).

* Near Mint (NM) is the highest grade I use, except for sealed items.

Overall nice copy of the MFSL pressing of A Hard Day’s Night (UK version) from the 1982 MFSL Beatles box set.

I always grade conservatively - visually, I’m calling the vinyl a solid VG+. The vinyl still has its sheen, and under normal room lighting it looks almost flawless. But looking closely at every angle, under direct bulb lighting, there are several light scuffs and a few very light scratches.

The cover is also a conservative VG+. No ringwear, no seam splits. There’s minimal yellowing and the corners are still pretty sharp. There is some minor creasing, and a few scratches on the front that are only visible in direct light.

The insert has been well-protected and looks great, except for some yellowing on the blank inside area. A minor part of the package, but I’ll call it VG++ mostly because of the inside yellowing.

Not a perfect, flawless copy, but certainly a nice one.

Other Info...

* FAST SHIPPING: Domestic shipping via USPS Media Mail (Sorry, I only ship to the lower 48 states). My goal is to ship your item the next USPS business day after I receive your payment,and I’m happy to do combined shipping.

* CAREFUL PACKAGING: I pack every item securely, just the way I’d want to receive it. (Please see my feedback comments - several buyers specifically mentioned how well their item was packaged.)

* LPs & 45s are shipped in standard mailers with insert pads; outer corners are reinforced with tape; except for sealed items, discs are removed from cover/sleeve to prevent seam splits; every effort is made to protect the vinyl, the cover and any inserts.
