Condition: Lovely condition. Both discs are glossy and clean with only light signs of play, EXCELLENT! All four sides play through without issue with that full, punchy first-press audio.

The embossed eponymous title "The Beatles" is sharp and clean. No stains or ring wear front, back or centre. The bottom left corner has some clear scuff marks to consider. The spine is fully readable with the usual laminate flaking. The back has some corner wear visible and inside the gatefold there is a faint indentation of names of the fab four below each photo, EXCELLENT-! This set is still complete with both original black inners without splits EXCELLENT! All four photos like-new MINT-! Original rare spacer so often discarded is included. Large fold out lyrics poster with no tears, pen, stains, tape or pin marks, EXCELLENT+! Very nice condition overall and on a remarkably low sleeve, No. 9196!
