The record labels are in AMAZING condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and 1 TINY spindle trace!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED ONCE!!!!  The vinyl is in AWESOME condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 absolutely ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  AWESOME RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards  - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 'Patents' White inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' FULLY Laminated Cover is in SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to 1 corner tip, NO splits, only a VERY few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, only 2 or 3 absolutely TINY laminate lifts along the spinal edge, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated back of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, VERY shiny laminate, only 1 TINY laminate lift in the EXTREME top right corner ONLY, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS THE RAREST EVER 'FULLY CORRECTED' 1ST PRESSING - EXACTLY AS THE BEATLES INTENDED IT TO LOOK LIKE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
