THE RECORD ON AUCTION THIS WEEK HAS NO TAX CODE , IT IS A VERY FIRST PRESS WITHOUT ANY CIRCULAR GROOVE (NOT A  CROSSOVER PRESSING ) . 

MATRIX ARE "XEX 421-1N" AND "XEX 422 -1 N ". MOTHER / STAMPER ARE " 2    RG" ON A SIDE AND  " 12    GL "ON B SIDE  .

THE SLEEVE IS FRONT LAMINATED , ERNEST J. DAY & CO , WITH LARGE "MONO " ON FRONT . 
THE PHOTO CREDIT ON THE FRONT COVER "PHOTO ANGUS McBEAN" IS PRINTED IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER AND THE TEXT STARTS AT THE END OF THE SECOND "S" LETTER IN "SONGS"

THE SLEEVE HAS KEPT IT'S ORIGINAL COLOURS AND STILL LOOKS REALLY NICE . THERE IS A FEW LAMINATION CREASES AROUND JOHN'S HANDS AND RINGO'S HEAD . NO RINGWEAR . 
THE SPINE IS WELL PRESERVED . ALL 4 CORNERS HAVE CORNER WEAR AND I TOOK A PICTURE OF ALL 4 OF THEM . 
THE TOP SEAM HAS 5 MARKS , THE BOTTOM SEAM HAS 8 MARKS AND IS A BIT MORE DAMAGED , I DID TAKE A LOT OF PICTURES . 

THE BACK SLEEVE HAS A VERY LIGHT RINGWEAR , IT IS NOT LAMINATED , FLIPBACK . AS YOU CAN SEE ON ONE OF THE PICTURES , THERE IS A MARK AROUND THE " I SAW HER STANDING THERE " TITLE . 
THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS A STAIN ( I TOOK A PICTURE WITH AND WITHOUT FLASH ) , THE TOP RIGHT CORNER HAS A CUT . 
ALSO A VERY LIGHT CUT ON THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK . 

IT IS COMPLICATED TO GRADE THE SLEEVE AND THAT'S WHY I'VE PUT SO MANY PICTURES . I THINK IT IS INCREDIBLY PRESERVED AND I'VE RARELY SEEN SUCH A NICE ONE , BUT I NEED TO STAY IN THE GENERAL STANDARDS . I WOULD SAY IT IS VG+ . PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTION ABOUT THE SLEEVE !!!

THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS IN VG++ CONDITION , LOOKS REALLY NICE . 



NOW , LET'S FOCUS ON THE VINYL  . I DECIDED TO RECORD THE ENTIRE LP SO YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF AND IDEA . 

AS YOU CAN EAR , IT PLAYS REALLY REALLY WELL . NO SKIP , NO JUMP , BARELY ANY SURFACE NOISE , A REAL NICE SOUND QUALITY !!! 
VISUALLY , SIDE 1 HAS SEVERAL SURFACE MARKS , HAIRLINE MARKS AND SHOWS THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED BUT WELL TAKEN CARE OF . I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE 2 " BIGGEST SURFACE MARKS " . NONE OF THEM ARE FEELABLE , AND AS YOU CAN EAR ON THE SAMPLE , NONE OF THEM ARE AUDIBLE . TO MAKE YOURSELF A DEFINITE OPINION , LISTEN TO SAMPLES WITH HEADPHONES . 

VISUALLY , SIDE 2 HAS A HAILINE MARK FROM TRACK 3 TO THE END , AND A FEW OTHER SUPERFICIAL MARKS , BUT AGAIN THE PLAYING QUALITY IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE . 

AS FOR THE SLEEVE , THE GRADING IS TRICKY . I THINK IT IS VISUALLY VG+ . AND PLAYS VG++ . IF YOU WANT ANY EXTRA INFO , AGAIN , DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME . 

BOTH LABELS HAVE OR HAD A STICKER . SIDE 2 HAS BEEN REMOVED AND SIDE ONE STILL HAS IT . EXEPT THAT , VERY WELL PRESERVED LABELS . 

I DID MY BEST TO BE ACCURATE AND HELP THE POTENTIAL BUYER . I HOPE I DISPLAYED ENOUGH ELEMENTS SO YOU CAN JUDGE AND FEEL LIKE YOU NEARLY HOLD THE RECORD !!! AFTER ALL IT NOT EVERYDAY YOU CAN BUY A .... 50 YEARS OLD RECORD !!! GOOD LUCK .
