Grading: 

Disc labels: (Side 1: Near Mint (NM)); Side 2: Excellent ++(EX++): The LP's labels are clean. 

There are just a few barely visible light spindle lines on each side by the center hole. The side 2 label has a very tiny scuff mark.

Disc (vinyl): (Side 1: Excellent ++ (EX++)); Side 2: Excellent ++(EX++): The ultra heavyweight disc weighs 167 grams and is very glossy, flat and looks barely played.

 There are only light signs of usage. The disc lies perfectly flat with no signs of warping. There are NO deep or feelable scratches or deep scuffs. 

The audio is exceptionally clean on both sides. One of the finest original UK stereo pressing audio copies we've heard.  

Even the track "And I Love Her" plays very clean and quiet. Overall, NO skipping, NO sticking, NO jumping, 

NO loud pops and NO loud distortion.

Jacket: (Excellent ++ (EX++)): The Garrod & Lofthouse "Patents pending", rear tri-flipback front laminated jacket is ultra clean with only very light light handling/storage wear. 

The front is very clean with only a few light laminate stress marks around the edges. Laminate creases almost always show up on these laminated UK jackets, even the cleanest copies, usually in abundance. The rear of the sleeve is exceptionally clean with a hint of tanning and about three barely visible light finger smudges. 

The edges and spine are all exceptionally nice as well. There are NO pen or ink marks, NO split seams, NO stickers or glue marks. Beautiful clean jacket!

Inner sleeve: (Excellent (EX)): The EMI Emitex inner sleeve is clean and in excellent condition.  It does have a tear.

Grading: We are conservative graders and try to be as concise and as accurate as possible without a lot of the standard hype.  We will never explain the condition of an item by saying it "looks good for something this old" as we consider that patronizing and an insult to potential buyers. Please ask us questions about any details about the item before bidding.

Shipping:

Packaging: All items are professionally packaged with high quality unused materials for shipment. No items will ever be loose in their shipping cartons. Records that are not sealed in their original shrink-wrap will never be shipped in their original jackets. All vinyl will be in poly-lined sleeves and outside of their original jackets so that no seam splitting can result from the shipping process.

Shipping charges for vinyl discs, posters and memorabilia include the cost of postage and boxes with extra padding. Good packaging is not cost effective but we insist upon safe and secure packaging. We do not want you to receive damaged items!

- STILL SEALED items cannot be returned unless they are STILL SEALED. No exceptions.
