ATTENTION PAUL McCARTNEY,THE BEATLES,APPLE LABEL AND 1970s  ROCK ALBUM COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 STEREO 1ST ISSUE OF THE SUPERB SOLO ALBUM BY PAUL McCARTNEY:"RAM" WHICH VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN AS OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT CONDITION AS THIS SIMPLY STUNNING EXAMPLE!.IT'S ONE OF THE BEST COPIES I HAVE EVER FOUND AND HEARD IN 30 YEARS AS A DEALER.  1971 EMI PRESSED APPLE PAS 10003 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES.

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL APPLE RECORDINGS CURVED EDGES INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "PATENT NOs 1125555" AND "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" TEXT AS WELL AS THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER. MOST BUYING LPs IN 1971 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY. DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!  THIS IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY HAD VERY CAREFUL AND MINIMAL USE IN OVER 46 YEARS! BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN PLAYED 2-3 TIMES SINCE 1971!  LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1971 1ST PRESSING COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER! HARDLY ANY  SURFACE NOISE AT ALL! UPGRADER STANDARD TO BE SURE!. THE RECORD HAS NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! LOVELY THICK VINYL. THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!  THE COVER HAS A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH OF THE LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE GREAT LPs FROM ME FOR AUCTION AND SET SALE ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW SO CHECK THEM OUT!.

PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
