Vinyl condition

The record has been carefully removed and visually inspected under bright lighting. It retains good gloss but shows light scratches, sleeve marks and other signs consistent with previous handling and play.

The vinyl is graded Very Good visually. It has not been play-tested, so no claim is made regarding surface noise, pops, crackle or other playback characteristics.

Jacket condition

The original Capitol jacket is graded Good Plus and shows substantial wear, including:

Heavy edge and corner wear

Seam wear and areas of separation

Tape and tape residue along portions of the edges

Surface rubbing, scuffing and discoloration

Writing on the front and rear

Creasing and paper loss

General storage and handling wear

Despite the condition issues, the front artwork remains colorful and recognizable. The rear liner notes, track listing and Capitol advertisements remain largely readable.

The record is now housed in a replacement anti-static inner sleeve. An original Capitol inner sleeve is not included.

A genuine vintage Beatles record with plenty of history—best suited to a listener, an affordable Beatles collection or a collector who values an early mono copy more than a pristine jacket.
