LOVELY EARLY PRESSING

Vinyl:

QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 169g VINYL.

EX!!

Lovely shine and weight.

I gave her a gentle vacuum clean, followed by an ultrasonic bath and then a final vac clean... and then listened to the whole album..

WOW-to start with, the run ins were as silent as you could hope for...Then, listening to the rest of the album, it blasted out with clarity-with the mild distortion at the top end, which is why Lennon pulled this pressing.

With ONLY very light and wispy hairline marks-from simply removal and replacement of the inner...I didn't even notice these register with any degree of significance AT ALL on playback...She really does produce a wonderful rich, clean and clear audio reproduction. To be ultra critical-I noticed some VERY occasional little bit of VERY light background crackle in just a couple of incredibly brief quiet sections. Just wispy marks-not feelable to the finger tip nor registering on playback either :)

SHE SOUNDS CLEAR, LOUD AND MAGICAL!

NO JUMPS OR SKIPS

I have not come across a LOUD CUT pressing in such GREAT condition for a long time...IT WAS AN UTTER PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO HER ALL THE WAY THROUGH

Not forgetting how quiet the run-ins are as well as the transitional sections inbetween songs...FAB

A REAL KEEPER AND AN UPGRADE-HAVE A LISTEN TO THE CLIP I HAVE PROVIDED, TO HEAR HOW QUIET THE RUN-INS ARE AND THE QUALITY AUDIO.

FLAT as the day she was born in 1965

Labels:

EX-.

Only marked down to EX- due to a name on each side, neatly written at the top of the label in dark pen...I can only see it when angled towards the light as it doesn't affect any of the canary yellow writing to the label and stays in the dark.

Nice and clear.

There are only a few light spindle marks, nothing bad at all.

Nice, raised "KT" tax code on side 2.

Minimal central hole wear.

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES.

(see if you can spot the name in black ink-it is quite difficult)

Real display piece condition.

Cover:

EX.

Lovely shiny front cover...

VERY strong and clear and clean spine.

NO WRITING

NO SPLITS

EXCELLENT strong corners, with just light rubbing...

Garrod and Lofthouse PATENTS PENDING flipback in great condition

Very nice to display.

Just 7 very small crescents of spidering to the laminate near the opening-visible when angled towards the light and looking for them. With some small fingers of spidering emanating from the seems.

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED AND READ MY HONEST FEEDBACK FOR TRUE GRADINGS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Inner:

Original "Use Emitex" in EX condition too!

Small, well repaired tear to one of the outer rings of the central window-nothing at all to be concerned about.

Certainly done her job in keeping the record in tip-top condition.

NO WRITING

NO SIDE SPLITS

Nice to see all of this has stayed together for almost 60 years!

ALL IN ALL: A RARE ALBUM IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THROUGHOUT!

VERY, VERY RARE TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN SUCH WONDERFUL ALL-ROUND CONDITION AND BARELY PLAYED

GRAB THIS LITTLE BEAUTY WITH BOTH HANDS!
