This specific entry focuses on the historic physical presentation of the second studio album from The Beatles, manufactured in Great Britain on the yellow and black Parlophone label. The record is housed inside its authentic Garrod & Lofthouse flipback jacket, featuring a front-laminated finish and the characteristic large "mono" indicator on the upper right corner. This copy includes the period-correct polylined Emitex inner sleeve to protect the analogue grooves.

Examining the label layout reveals crucial archival markers. The rim text carries the earliest "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." wording, signifying a production run completed before the "SOLD IN U.K..." statutory text was introduced. Notably, the mechanical licensing credits show the "Dominion, Belinda" alignment for the track "Money". This release also documents a famous printing discrepancy, where the rear cover spells track ten as "You Really Gotta Hold On Me" whilst the record label corrects this to "You Really Got A Hold On Me". A KT tax code is embossed on the side one label surface, matching the XEX 447-7N (GHR) and XEX 448-7N (LA) matrix stamps in the dead wax.

Grading evaluations place the jacket at Very Good Plus, showing a remarkably clean structural condition overall, accented only by a tiny split on the opening edge mouth and small biro writing on the reverse side. The vinyl disc itself achieves a balanced Very Good Plus tier, offering a clean visual presentation with just a few of superficial surface marks that do not disturb the classic mono playback.
