This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.


Vinyl has been ultra sonically cleaned, sleeved (inner/outer), and fully play tested.


Ships correctly. I use appropriate shipping materials. No odd packaging. Old album covers and/or cardboard stiffeners will be used. Fast turn around shipping-same day or the next-if not during the weekend/holiday.


See my feedback and buy with confidence.


Beatles fan? Know someone who is? Can’t beat an original UK Parlophone pressing from 1965!! This copy has experienced and lived thru the original Beatlemania—-because has it ever really stopped?


Vinyl: Conservative VG: (high gloss, a fair amount of visible light sleeve hairlines, couple of scuffs-nothing with texture.

Side 1: some crackle at stylus drop and a little in the first song-then it levels out and plays very strong. Nothing constant or overpowering.

Side 2: same start as Side 1, a little sub-dominate crackle in some places. Again not overpowering or constant. No loud pops/ticks. No skips. Not audiophile quiet but also not blown out. Still lots of life left in this original copy.)


Cover: VG+ (corner wear, some very small creases at spine, some minor discoloration spots)


Original inner sleeve to this pressing present-handling wear, small seam split, wrinkles.


Vinyl is housed in an anti-static inner sleeve.


I welcome questions. Thanks for looking!
