*The selections "Strawberry fields forever", "Mary Jane" and "Peace of Mind" were taken from reference discs because the master tapes could not be located. Slight surface noise heard on these selections does not indicate defect in this pressing 

 

Note that some collectors say that the song ‘Peace Of Mind’ isn’t the Beatles, but add "It’s a really cool, weird psych tune that sounds more like Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd than the Beatles." 

THIS COPY is a 1st pressing on the NEMS Records Limited label (see Notes, below).

The vinyl has a couple of marks on side two, but per a test listen, none that affect playback. The vinyl is in Very Good Plus [VG+] condition.

The original cover has a crease running next to the spine on the back. Other than that it would be in Excellent condition, but because of that one crease, I am rating the cover as being in Very Good Plus [VG+] condition.

The original inner sleeve is translucent poly; it has no issues. The inner sleeve is in Excellent [EX] condition,
