FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com

I have acquired a Large Paul McCartney collection, where the original owner had two copies of each title. Looking at the one set in particular it would appear that he had one for playing and one for storing.

They were all housed in a proper record case so no chance to get damaged

I am going to release these one per day in the original release order, so starting on Sunday 28th April with the Debut solo album

If you want the best copy that money can buy then look no further

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS ONE SPIDER LINE ON EITHER SIDE.  THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE, AND THE LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED

THE VINYL

GLEAMING FIRST PRESS DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE ONE MINUSCULE HANDLING LINE WHICH COVERS A LITTLE OF TRACK 2 AND 3 ON SIDE TWO

THE TEST PLAY

THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP IS THE THAT STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION THROUGH GROOVE WEAR, WHICH OF COURSE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ON AN UNPLAYED VINYL.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER

THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ANDTHE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

I HEARD JUST A FEW OF THE ABSOLUTE TINIEST LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS ON TRACK 2/3 SIDE TWO

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND MAKE A JUDGEMENT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE PACK

IF YOU HAVE EVER TRIED TO COLLECT THIS SET, YOU WOULD FIND IT A REAL CHALLENGE TO FIND ONE WITH THE OUTER CASE IN TOP CONDITION. MOST ARE QUITE BATTERED AND CREASED. THIS ONE HOWEVER WHILST NOT PRISTINE IS IN WAY ABOVE 'NORMAL' CONDITION

SO I AM GOING TO START WITH THE BACK. WHICH HAS THE UNIQUE LIMITED EDITION NUMBER OF WHICH THIS ONE IS 05381

ALSO ON THE BACK IS THE TUCK IN FLAP SYSTEM. MOST WILL BE IN HORRIBLE CONDITION, BUT THIS ONE THE FLAPS ARE NEAR PERFECT. NO MORE THAN ONE VERY LIGHT TUCK IN BEND BUT NO TEARS TO THE FRAGILE TABS AND THE TUCK IN SLOTS ARE ALSO PERFECT.

BECAUSE THE ROUNDED CORNERS PROTRUDE OVER THE ACTUAL SHELL THEY ARE ALWAYS FOUND BENT AND VERY WORN. THESE ONES ONLY HAVE LIGHT BENDS  AND A LITTLE WEAR TO THE ROUNDED CORNERS

TUENING OVER TO THE FRONT THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE DIE CUT LETTERING. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. NONE OF THE LETTERS ARE DAMAGED WHATSOEVER. THE HYPE STICKER SITS IFRMLY IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE BLACK SURFACE IS JUST IMMACULATE

THE BOTTOM TIGHT CORNER HAS A TINY TEAR AND THE OTHER THREE ARE RUBBED ON THE EDGES

THE THREE BLACK EDGES (2 SIDES AND THE BOTTOM EDGE) ARE NICELY BLACK WITH A FEW PRESSURE LINES RUNNING OVER THEM. THE FRONT LEADING EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUB ALONT THE SURFACES

THE TOP EDGE IS SIMILAR

THE EDGES ALSO HAVE SOME PRESSURE LINES VISIBLE 3-4 ON EACH EDGE

INSIDE THE OUTER SLEEVE WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ALL IN MINT CONDITION

• BAND POSTER 
• BAND FAMILY TREE POSTER
• I'D RATHER BE LISTENING TO McCARTNEY STICKER STRIP
• WORLD TOUR DATES SHEET
• SET OF SIX POSTCARDS
• 7" SINGLE ONE SIDED ETCHED (PARTY PARTY)

THE CONTENTS GRADE MINT

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AEDGE HAS A COUPLE OF TINY FLECKS OF WHITE NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER, THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW FLECKS OF RUB AND A LITTLE ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE DARK COLOUR IS RUNNING FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH PERFECT WHITE TYPEFACE AND UNRUBBED ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THE RECORD WAS JUST NOT REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPER CONDITION AS THE FRONT. NO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST ANY EDGE
