 Has the dull sheen and is NON-BANDED.
 Light, visible marks to the vinyl, to both sides.
After giving her a gentle vaccum claen, I have just finished listening to the whole album and found there to be lovely rich audio with just a few very occasional pops (which disappear as quickly as they arrive).
Sounds great-turn her up!

The Cover:
EX!
The main sleeve is unique, on the photo of George Harrison on the inner gatefold sleeve, George can be seen to have a red eye !  Did George at the time of the photo shoot have an eye infection ? Or had he received a black eye some weeks earlier ? Is this a ‘Proof sleeve’ that was discarded by EMI, only for EMI to use the sleeve at the very last moment to get rid of their old Mono stock… intriguing indeed. The ‘red’ area around George’s eye is printed ‘under’ the laminate.
Have a look at your copy and see the difference-I will put an image of another mono copy in the listing, so you can see the difference.
The front, back and inside of this cover is still in SUPERB condition. Even the colours remain as vibrant today as they were in '67!....All this would make this cover a very unusual, top quality framed edition of a rare cover.
Only very slight and gentle knocks and light rubbing to the corners.
There are just 2 small crescents of spidering to the front, with just 3 to the back laminate.
SHINY & BRIGHT.
!GLORIOUS!

(I have taken a photo with the comparison from a 'normal' 1st edition sleeve-with Georges RED EYE to the left of the image-which is this album up for sale)

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED-CLICK ON THEM FOR EVEN LARGER IMAGES AND SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADING AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS

ALL IN ALL THIS IS A BEATLES CLASSIC ALBUM IN VERY GOOD CONDITION TOO.
A VERY WELL LOOKED AFTER, MUCH RARER PRESS WITH THE UNUSUALITY OF THE RED EYE ON GEORGE
FRAME THIS BABY!
