PLAY TESTED JUNE 1st.

There are absolutely no skips/jumps/sticking on any of the four sides. There are some clicks and pops, nothing too loud. Occasional surface noise here and there, but again, very little, considering it’s over 50yrs old. There is nothing that spoils the audio experience, and overall, the audio quality is VG+, and I’m only selling as I’ve acquired another copy.

It’s a great copy of ‘The White Album’, and a fantastic listen; an original mono mix, with punch and clarity.

VISUAL GRADING.

The VINYL, thick press and glossy, has some hairlines/scratches/marks, probably most notable on side 4, but certainly nothing feelable, and absolutely nothing that diminishes or interferes with the sound quality.

Graded as VG

The LABELS are bright, clean, and generally free of visible spindle ware, though perhaps slightly more visible under angled light.

Graded as VG+

The SLEEVE Number 0077897) has some scuffing/degradation/split to the spine in the middle, and some ware to top corner, though all text is clearly visible. There is a small cut to front at the top. Some ringing/marks to front and back.

Graded as G+

The INNER GATEFOLD is excellent, with just some minor age marks to to bottom right near spine base.

The INNERS, which are original, and becoming increasingly difficult to find, have minor seem splits, and a few tears/feathering to the top and to die cut openings.

Graded as G+

The POSTER, again an original, lip stick photo montage and lyric sheet, has some minor seem splitting. No writing, pin holes, or sellotaping.

Graded as G+

The PHOTOS/PRINTS.

Comes with all four original prints, which though have some very minor discolouration, and a tiny crease to top right corner of ‘Paul’ picture, are excellent. No tares, pin holes etc.

Graded as Excellent.

I’d give the overall package a VG grading, with the audio (the most important bit) a VG+.

The item will be despatched via Royal Mail 2nd Class Signed for, at a cost of £4.45, plus 50p to cover packaging, and postal EBay charges.

I tend to be quite conservative in my gradings/descriptions, and therefore retain a 100% positive feedback rating, largely for vinyl. Thus, rest assured, you can bid with confidence.
