Beatles For Sale MFSL 1-104 Original Master Recording Vinyl From The Box Set NM

	£		130

As a vinyl collector, I’ll always give you every descriptive detail that I would want to know if I was the customer. I’m not one of these sellers who’ll just list a vinyl and say the grading and that’s it... and most of the vinyl sellers on here just don’t have a clue anyhow (they seriously don't, I only trust a certain few dealers on here). I’ve been collecting vinyl for years and along with those years, I have gained the expertise and knowledge of how a vinyl should be cared for. So please be rest assured that you'll receive what is being described here.

All my vinyl is play-tested before listing on a high-end stereo set-up (Set-up listed later)

The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl box set of UK released Beatles LPs, remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo. Each album was pressed on virgin vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) ensuring the best sound quality possible. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet, which included splitting 'The Beatles' into 2 separate covers.

On sale here ironically is The Beatles For Sale from the MFSL box set. The vinyl is in fantastic condition and it's easily the best sounding stereo pressing out there. Too be honest, I think stereo is the only way to listen to this album. The sound is breathtaking.

Vinyl Visual: Near Mint

I've inspected both sides under strong LED light at various light catching angles and both sides gleam like new. I'm being extremely picky here but on side 1 between tracks 2 and 3 there's an extremely light superficial mark that I've tried to photo but I struggled at that with it being so superficial and it 100% does not sound. Even on my highly sensitive sound system there isn't one tick. I wouldn't even put it down to a mishandling mark either. More a pressing mark. Both sides though are visually beautiful.

Vinyl Audio: Near Mint

Breathtaking audio and in my opinion the best pressing for this album ever made. Stereo is the only way to listen to this album and believe me, I've heard them all. The mono just doesn't sound right. The sound here is extremely bright and clear with fantastic separation. You will not be disappointed. No issues at all to report on the playback test.

Labels: Near Mint

Both labels are in top condition and I'm literally struggling to see any spindle lines coming from the centre hole on both sides. A strong indication of the vinyl being barely played or played at all until my audio test.

Sleeve: Near Mint

The sleeve is in great condition, corners are crisp and I can hardly see any wear at all.

Inner-Sleeve: Excellent

Inner cardboard sleeve in great condition. No split seams or bumps. Just the usual age related discolouration when opened.

A top copy and a sound defining copy at that. You won't be disappointed with this one.

All my vinyl is cleaned with a Project VC-S3 Record vacuum cleaning machine with Project Wash-it 2 cleaning fluid. The only way I recommend cleaning a vinyl. Never Rub wipe because all you’re doing is pushing dirt/dust deeper into the groves and potentially unnecessarily scratching yourvinyp records.

Postage and Packaging:
UK Shipping Only! Excluding Gibraltar.
I will only send via The Royal Mail Tracked.
All vinyl is packed in strong cardboard vinyl mailers with the aid of cardboard stiffeners for extra protection.

Vinyl will be separated from the original outer and inner sleeves and placed in new poly-lined inners. This is to prevent split seam damage to the original outer and inner sleeves during postage.

Payment within 4 days or your order may be cancelled. Please no serial negative feedback buyers, your order may also be cancelled.

Returns:
If you are not entirely happy with your purchase, please contact me before leaving feedback and I’ll always resolve any issue. If you want to send the item back, I’ll only pay return shipping fees if I’m at fault; I’m human after all. But if you’re sending the item back just for the sake of it, that’s a different story…you’ll have to pay the return fee. Please repack the vinyl the exact way you received it, if you return damaged goods, your return will not be accepted. Please don’t destroy the cardboard vinyl mailer upon opening because you can reuse it.
