Beatles, The - The Beatles 1962-1966 - Apple - LP LP x 2 Special Cover - Rock Pop Beat 60s

Scarce original 1st pressing

2 LP in gatefold laminated outers cover with original angled inner lyric sleeves

Matrix #:s 1/1/3/1

Cover: Gatefold - Laminated outer/No producer credit on inner gatefold (see other listings for variation)- long crease from open edge diagonally upwards on back of back gatefold-inside gatefold slight ageing around top/bottom (lamination) edges

Original angled cut lyric inners in superb condition except small bottom split and small tears and creasing on open edge on disc 1 inner/a very difficult item to get mint as there are various problems including the seam splits but also the open edge gets damaged (these are almost perfect)

The problem with these early angled inners is that they were very tight and tended to get jammed on the way in causing the various bits of damage.

Labels are clean crisp and clear

Discs: EX+ with only very minor light scuffs

Spine: EX+   lettering clear crisp and intact with minor wear on the top and bottom corners

This issue is particularly hard to find as the 'no credits' inner gatefold was very short-lived before someone (George Martin ?) realised they were missing and another batch of sleeves were pressed with the producer credit.

Very early matrix #'s which can vary in combination
