The Holy Grail of Beatles LP collecting, this cover is in overall Very Good condition. I've taken numerous pictures to try to give an idea of the shape it's in. Starting with the front: it's in overall great shape with slightly darkened tones in places, mostly along the top and right side, from the alcohol used in the peeling process. There is one small spot of damage (right over George's head), and two very tiny white places (one on Paul's right arm, and one in the middle of John's chest).; also one light crease in bottom right corner. Basically, that's it on the front. The rest of the cover is not in as good shape. The side seam is completely split, the top seam is split an inch on both left and right sides and the bottom seam is split on both left and right sides leaving about four inches where it is not split. The back shows a lot of age wear and places on each side where it looks like this must have been once taped to something (probably a frame). The seams can be repaired but I'd rather let the winner do it as methods differ. Certainly not a pristine cover, but also certainly not the worst I've seen (particularly some of the ones on eBay).  The front of the cover definitely deserves it's VG grade. The record is included but it's only in Good (if that) condition, with many scratches. Now extremely rare in any condition, this is an overall really nice Beatles collectible and will fill that hole in your collection just fine. Any questions please e-mail me. US shipping is $3.50 Media Mail or $5.50 Priority Mail. Everywhere else please e-mail me. Check out my other auctions for more rare vinyl and CD's. Thanks for looking.
