A test listen (and track count) show that Side 2 is correct on the vinyl and includes "HER MAJESTY" (ALSO PRINTED ON THE BACK COVER), confirming this is a 1969 FIRST PRESSING. Cover also features the UNCROPPED DRAIN COVER with visible storm drain at the bottom edge under Ringo and John. "O" in dead wax denotes a Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Jacksonville pressing. Vinyl has a few faint surface sleeve scuffs (a larger scuff on side 1 for split grade) holding grade back. Labels--AGAIN, BOTH ARE SIDE 1 LABELS--are excellent.Uncropped drain cover has cornerwear, edgewear, ringwear. Songs: Come Together, Something, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Oh! Mustard, Polythene Pam, She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End, HER MAJESTY. Yet ANOTHER BIG POSTAL INCREASE: JANUARY 21, 2024! NOTE: A double album is the SAME AS TWO LPs, a triple the same as THREE and a 5LP box set the same as FIVE records, etc.

GRADING Here is the standard PlanetarySounds grades records by (with help from Goldmine). Remember, even with such a guide, grading is still subjective. Most albums, unless noted, are visually graded under bright lights. We strive to provide as much information as possible about each album.Still Sealed (SS) As good as it gets. Unopened and most likely perfect all around. Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. The record shows no obvious signs of wear. Covers show no more than the most minor defects.
The same holds true for inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Near Mint Minus or Very Good Plus Plus (NM- or VG++) Just a hair more wear than NM, but still very close to Near Mint overall. Vinyl may have nominal sleeve or paper scuffs, cover may have hint of wear. VG++ will be just a fraction below NM- due to one additional tiny defect. Very Good Plus (VG+) Album and cover show some light signs that it was played and otherwise handled with care of it. Record surfaces may have slight surface scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect play. If not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.Very Good (VG) Increased scuffs or light scratches, surface noise evident upon playing. Covers and labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers, or minor seam splits. Covers heavily damaged, major splits, tears, writing, etc.
If there is an issue, please contact me BEFORE leaving bad feedback and... We can work it out. While grading is subjective, nearly all gradings are acurate and done visually.
