My copy is beat up to say the least. That being said, the sound quality is still able to shine through in a big way. This album just punches you from start to finish. It just has a great sharpness to it. Would like to get a cleaner copy in the future, but this copy is just fine for now. Love it.

definitely longer fades on 'While My guitar' etc. than on Cd release from the 80's unforunatly that's the version I grew up with, discovering the vinyl version after cleaning it twice, makes the Cd release sound like a fraud...even in G condition
Hey all - i have an copy still in shrink. I can't tell which edition, but spine shows SWBO 101. Any idea how to value it? Or definitively tell which version it is?
I have #0811310. Got it for $40 at a local record store. Poster and photos were included, everything is in pretty great shape for its age. I don't think my copy has banding between songs.

This is an album from a little known overlooked beat combo from Liverpool - *sigh* if only more people knew about them (maybe I was being a little sarcastic there)! Some really great tracks on this release and it's very eclectic covering every genre conceived that existed in 1968, though John's experimental piece - Revolution No. 9 is full-on unleaded nightmare fuel (Number nine, Number nine, Number nine,! ). Best tune by far on the album is Helter Skelter - A very amazing proto-metal song with some incredible vocals from Macca.
