The Beatles THE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR 1967 US PRESS
I have graded the vinyl Excellent.  Previously, I had graded it Very Good Plus but have lately been told that I sometimes get over-cautious and downgrade vinyl, which would otherwise be described as standing between Excellent and VG+.  I am re-grading Magical Mystery Tour as the light marks are more consistent with a record being brought in and out of its sleeve and nothing that would compromise enjoyable listening.  I'll give you an example, in ordinary daylight it looks Excellent and only in bright sunlight does its history of use and wear become visible (or under a bright spot).  So my feeling is that it would be accurate to describe it as standing between Excellent and VG+.  Importantly, it test played well.
I have graded the sleeve Very Good Plus  

I only test play records from the collection that have more visible signs of wear, scuff marks or a scratch and so I have test played it and it plays fine.

A note about postage.  To Europe the flat rate post rate is £12 and not £20, as this applies to Worldwide, US, Canada, etc. which for a good and reliable service costs £23.50.  If somebody in Europe wants to buy this album, please mail me first and I will alter the postage settings for you so that ebay don't auto charge you £20.  Thank you.
