A piece of history: one of the most creative, inventive, subversive, funny, not to mention impeccably composed, crafted, played, arranged and produced albums of all time. This is the album that sent Charles Manson off the deep end, but don't worry. There is hardly a sinister overtone here. These 30 tracks (count 'em) are a monument to harmony and heartfelt emotion, even where such emotion is sarcasm or parody. By far my favorite Beatles album, and probably the one to outshine Sergeant Pepper. This rare double set hardly ever comes with the poster included. This is your rare chance to grab one such copy.And, oh, did we forget to mention Eric Clapton,who makes his famous cameo on "While my guitar gently weeps"?
Track listing: Back In The U.S.S.R. --- Dear Prudence --- Glass Onion --- Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da --- Wild Honey Pie --- Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill, The --- While My Guitar Gently Weeps --- Happiness Is A Warm Gun --- Martha My Dear --- I'm So Tired --- Blackbird --- Piggies --- Rocky Raccoon --- Don't Pass Me By --- Why Don't We Do It In The Road --- I Will --- Julia --- Birthday --- Yer Blues --- Mother Nature's Son --- Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey --- Sexy Sadie --- Helter Skelter --- Long, Long, Long --- Revolution 1 --- Honey Pie --- Savoy Truffle --- Cry Baby Cry --- Revolution 9 --- Good Night.
For its extraordinary contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, writers and general public, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye, Bruce Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete Wingfield, etc.).

· CONDITION:
· RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs - are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
(b) The album comes with the original poster still intact.
(c) The album comes with the original BONUS photos included
(d) The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!
(e) US Mono copies of this album are NOT known to exist.
(f) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
· COVER
THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3.
- Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging. Yellowing is also noted on the INSIDE gatefold
- Cover has one corner slightly worn / frayed / bent (just a beginning of the split seam)
- Cover has a few yellowish dust speckles scattered here and there (these tiny spots are not overly obtrusive or distracting)
- Back cover has a small peel-off mark, probably from the careless removal of the price sticker (less than 1 square inch in size).
NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:
- No cut-out (drill) holes.
- No cut-out corners
- No saw-marks or indents
- No wrinkles or creases
- No yellowing from aging
- No writing
- No stamps
