THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT-LAMINATED ERNEST J. DAY, FLIPBACK SLEEVE, WITH LARGE "MONO" IS IN VERY STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION. THERE IS NO FEATHERING TO THE OPENING AND THE SPINE IS NEAR PERFECT. THERE IS VERY SLIGHT RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM EDGE NEAR THE CORNER. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT BRUISING TO A COUPLE OF THE CORNERS. THERE IS NOT REALLY EVEN ANY DISCOLOURATION TO THE REAR - AMAZING! THERE IS THE TINIEST CREASE ON THE BACK NEAR TO WHERE THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK MEETS THE OPENING.

THIS GREAT RECORD IS HOUSED IN A POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE WITH “ USE EMITEX” TEXT. THIS INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A VERY SMALL TEAR AT THE OPENING SOME LIGHT TANNING AND A FEW MINOR CREASES. I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT 4TH PRESSINGS OF THIS, THE BEATLES’ DEBUT LP, CAME IN A TISSUE-LINED INNER - PERHAPS I WAS WRONG?!
