Offered here is an Original: The Beatles - The Ealry Beatles T 2309, Compilation, Mono, Scranton 1st Pressing, Rainbow Labels, 1965, Play Tested. I played this and cleaned it.  The Cover is in excellent condition but has a couple of songs 'x'd' on the back cover list, the original inner sleeve is VG+. ( I use the Discog grading  for records, sleeves and covers).  The record does have multiple scuffs from being removed and replaced in the sleeve and jacket, not real scratches, and the labels are scuffed as seen.  Music and sound are Great BUT there is light random static throughout - mostly in the dead wax. It is just not overwhelming or greatly distracting  I try my best to be accurate in grade. BUT Grading is subjective. You may not agree with me - CAREFULLY look at the photos, zoom in on them. Judge the condition for yourself please.   Stored and Shipped in a protective LP plastic sleeve.  ALL of the Beatles Albums I am slowly listing are from a single collection and most if not all are first releases.  Shipped in bubble wrap and bosed, INSURED and with delivery confirmation.
