SPINE.Perfect as photos,

SIDE 1, VG,does have quite a few visible hairlines,and a visible u shaped scuff to the last track,which I have highlighted in photo 12,it causes a very soft cick to the intro of Please Please Me but disappears when the music starts,nothing feelable,lies totally flat,and still retains a really nice glossy shine,

This is the genuine audio return that I had off my Linn Sondek LP12 system, a truely awesome stereo return for a recording that was made 52 years ago,the vocals are awesome I did not detect any pops, clicks, jumps or barely any crackle, even between tracks,from past experiences I know audio returns vary from system to system,but this is my genuine assessment of this awesome stereo return,must rate EX++ and perhaps better in some parts,even though the album itself shows that it has been played quite a few times it does not in any way detract it from this superb stereo audio return,

GENERAL ASSESSMENT.A truly nice copy of the holy grail of all the Beatles albums,finding vinyl and sleeve in this condition these days is becoming increasingly difficult,a truely VG+ copy,that has obviously been played quite a few times,but returning some exceptional stereo audio, would grace any 60s or Beatles themed record collection,there cant be many more out there,most are already in private collections,this is the very first press with the Dick James Credits,
