Description
Record Condition: All 28 sides grade NM of VG++ with the exception of one side of Rubber Soul (VG+). This is the UK pressing of this box set. Many sides were cut by Harry Moss ('HTM' etched in the runouts). This specific box set is my own personal go-to for almost every Beatles album. It's exceptionally well mastered, it's what I always recommend when people ask me what pressings of Beatles albums to get.
Cover Condition: The individual covers are in nice shape except they all have a small crack (or partial crack) centered at the top seam. A few have the same issue centered on the bottom seam. Sgt. Pepper's has some spine damage. There's a few other very minor issues across the 13 covers (corner ding, small crease, etc.) The box is in pretty nice shape except the top part that opens is separated from the rest of the box. Someone tried to tape it up in the past so there is some tape remnants as well.
Inner Sleeve type: original UK generic inners
Other notes: Complete box set (the two albums that came with inserts have them).

PLEASE READ BELOW BEFORE BIDDING:
The fine print:
- All unsealed records are professionally cleaned on a VPI record cleaning machine using high quality (alcohol-free) L'Art du Son concentrated solution.
- LPs are shipped in a poly outer sleeve with the record outside of the cover (but in its inner sleeve) to prevent seam-splitting.
- All vinyl is visually and conservatively graded under strong artificial light.
I grade conservatively using the Goldmine grading scale. There is no such thing as a "mint" record, near mint (NM) is my highest grade. Grades are a visual representation of the playing surfaces.
NM > VG++ > VG+ > VG > VG- > G+ > Good > Poor
NM - Playing surfaces will look new with no sings of mishandling. Possibly unplayed.
VG++ - At most a few minor imperfections that have little to no effect on play. Possibly unplayed as well.
VG+ - Still a great-looking record with slightly more imperfections that may add some background noise in parts.
VG - Even more imperfections that may add some background noise in parts.
VG-/G+/G/P - I won't sell too many LPs that fall into these grades, but there will be a progression downwards from VG depending upon the severity of the damage. These LPs will be play-tested at least in part to ensure they don't skip.
Covers follow the same grading scale.
I don't generally grade inner sleeves, but if this information is important to you, please ask! I will make a note above if the LP is accompanied with a generic, company or custom-printed (this is unique to the release, they usually have pictures, lyrics, etc.) inner sleeve.
LPs are shipped in Whiplash mailers to ensure safe arrival. They are the most expensive mailers, but also the best. It's important the LPs arrive to you in the same condition they leave me in, and Whiplash ensures that.
