Vinyl grading - VG+, a few clicks, pops, nothing too dramatic.

Sleeve grading - Fair

Book grading - Fair

Various pictures uploaded, sleeve close ups, front and rear, disc, the item is shown in all aspects. The pictures are part of the description, too, look them over...

A pair of Beatles items for your consideration...

Firstly, a late 1970's Beatles picture disc, Sgt. Peppers' being the album in question - and with it being a picture disc, on the rear of the sleeve, it comes with a note pointing out that "Sound quality may not be comparable to conventional edition', this has historically always been the case with colored vinyl, so bear that in mind before you freak out...

Details for the book are further down this listing, pictures are uploaded for this item, too, but first, the picture disc...

Sergeant Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band...

Released on - Capitol / EMI

Catalog number - SEAX 11840

US issue.

Matrix numbers -

Side One - SEAX 1 11840 F1

Please read the record grading guide below and familiarize yourself with the grades used. Goldmine standards adhered to, plus full description in all aspects.

I strive to grade fairly, and have never sold a record without listening to it first.

Visual grading is not an option at all.

This 46 year old LP I have graded as being in VG+ condition. Both sides play through with no jumping, skipping or any other major audio horrors. 

There is minimal isolated, low-level and generally non-intrusive surface noise, as noted, a couple of minor clicks and pops, common to any used vinyl of this vintage and grading...and, again, it's a picture disc, it's an undeniably attractive, eye-catching visual thing...don't expect top level audiophile quality.

The die-cut sleeve I have graded being in Fair condition with obvious scuffing to the edges, minor bumps to the corners, a 1" tear, light shelfwear to front and rear, all as per age, grading and vintage.

No labels, it's a picture disc.

The inner liner is plain.

Now for the book...

The Beatle Book of Recorded Hits, Souvenir Song Album.

Collectible book, or, at least, a collection filler...it's 12 songs, plus some extras for those keen to play along on the guitar...chords and guitar tabs all presented in good condition.

1964 publication.

Note that this book is included free with the vinyl album, mainly due to the fact it has a couple of minor issues - the 'Lifelines' page has been taken to with a pair of scissors, each band members head has been cut out, this has been shown in one of the pictres.

The top of the page showing guitar chord references has some ink notations, but the tabs themselves are in good, legible condition.

So, there it is, a picture disc, plays well, looks great and a book from 60 years ago, included free.

Any questions, email and I'll help if I can.

Thanks for looking!

GRADING GUIDE. (Goldmine Standard)

* Gradings range between - for example - VG, VG+ and VG++. In some cases, for example again, VG- may be used.

MINT (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, and if it is not just out of the pressing plant it is unlikely that, personally, I would ever use this grading.

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-) A good description of a NM record is it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect. NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any 'spindle marks' from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects will be absent. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E) A good description of a VG+ record is except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint. VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. VG++ is a step up from VG+ generally.

VERY GOOD (VG) Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. VG records lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape. VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won?t be obvious upon looking. A small pen or ink mark, or an original price sticker may be noticeable.

GOOD (G), GOOD PLUS (G+) or VERY GOOD MINUS (VG?) Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious surface damage to the label. A Good to VG cover has ring wear, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing.

POOR (P) and FAIR (F) Records that have obvious damage, they are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them.
