TOP OPENING SLEEVE DIE CUT BLACK INNERS CORRECT"KISS" POSTER AND ALL FOUR PHOTOGRAPHS

RECORD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION NO LAMINATE LIFT TO THE FRONT INNER OR REAR SLEEVE'S ,SPINE HAS A LITTLE LOSS BUT ALL THE TEXT IS LEGIBLE

SOME VERY SMALL CREASES ON THE EDGES ( HARD TO SEE IN THE PICS) BUT THE EMBOSSED BEATLES NAME AND THE PRINTED NUMBER ARE CLEARLY LEGIBLE

SLEEVE REAR PANEL DOES HAVE A SCRATCHED CROSS ON IT YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT IN THE PICTURES

MIGHT BE THE SLEEVE WAS PUSHED ACROSS A ROUGH SURFACE SOME TIME IN THE LAST 50 YEARS (,BUT IT IS ON THE REAR IN AN AREA OF THE SLEEVE NOT NORMALLY VIEWED IF THAT HELPS)

ALL FOUR PICTURES ARE IN PRISTINE CLEAN CONDITION AND UNMARKED

POSTER IS IN SIMILAR CLEAN CONDITION WITH A TINY SPLIT TO ONE FOLDING EDGE

ORIGINAL BLACK DIE CUT INNER'S HAVE WORN WELL OVER THE YEARS THEY ARE FRAGILE AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO TEARING IF HANDLED ROUGHLY ,THESE TWO DO HAVE SOME TAPE REINFORCEMENT TO THE SIDES AND BASE BUT IT IS QUITE PROFESSIONAL YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT WAS THERE UNLESS YOU LOOKED ,THERE ARE ALSO SOME SMALL REPAIRS TO THE DIE CUT CENTRES AGAIN DONE WELL

SIDE 1 VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION DEEP GLOSSY VINYL SURFACE LOOKS GREAT IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT AND THE DARK GREEN APPLE LABEL IS ALSO IN UNMARKED CLEAN CONDITION

SIDE 2 VINYL IS IN SIMILAR CONDITION TO THE ABOVE WITH THE ODD LIGHT MARK TO THE SURFACE

SIDE 3 VINYL AGAIN SIMILAR CLEAN GLOSSY FINISH BUT DOES HAVE TWO VISIBLE NEEDLE MARKS ,HAVE PLAYED THIS SIDE MORE THAN THE OTHER THREE BECAUSE OF THIS BUT AUDIO SEEMED UNAFFECTED

SIDE 4 VINYL VERY CLEAN AND BRIGHT AS THE ABOVE BUT HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT SCUFFS

I HAVE PLAYED ALL FOUR SIDES THROUGH A COUPLE OF TIMES AT DIFFERENT VOLUME LEVELS AND I THOUGHT THE AUDIO WAS EXCELLENT THESE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL DISC'S DO SEEM TO PLAY WELL EVEN WITH MARKS THERE IS THE ODD POP AND CRACKLE IN SOME OF THE QUIET MOMENTS AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT BUT NOTHING EXCESSIVE ,I DO USE A 60's HI-FI SYSTEM WHICH HAS A HEAVIER PICK UP THAN TODAY'S MODERN EQUIPMENT SO YOU COULD GET A DIFFERENT RESPONSE

ALL THE ABOVE COMES ENCASED IN A RARE N.E.M.S SLEEVE COURTESY OF BRIAN EPSTEIN'S RECORD SHOP IN LIVERPOOL AND IS IN NICE CLEAN CONDITION AND A RARE ITEM THESE DAYS
