Description
FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING
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 with the Debut solo album
If you want the best copy that money can buy then look no further
PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS- WILD LIFE
SUPERB MINT MINUS AUDIO FROM START TO FINSH
INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS SLEEVE
OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE
- CATALOGUE: APPLE PCS 7142
- MATRIX:YEX 871 - 11 / 872-1 (VERY FIRST PRESS MATRIX)
THE RECORD`
THE LABELS
THE 2 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE IS JUST ONE SOLITARY SMALL SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
IMMACULATE AS NEW GLEAMING HEAVYWEIGHT DISC. THIS COULD NOT LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THE SURFACE ANYWHERE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN ONLY SEE ONE VERY LIGHT SURFACE HAIRLINE ON THE LAST TRACK OD SIDE ONE (NON SOUNDING)
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS AS CLEAR AND CLEAN AS A BELL, AND THIS ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THE MUSIC IS FREE FROM ANY VINYL NOISE OR EVEN STATIC, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
ALL I HEARD WERE A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE FOR A SECOND OR TWO ON SIDE TWO ANDA COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LTTLE DUST TICS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE IN COMPLETELY SUPERB CONDITION.
THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS BEAUTIFUL. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON IT. NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES OR BENDS .
THE DEEP RICH COLOURS ARE TOTALLY UNFADED AT ANY POINT ON THIS SLEEVE
AMAZINGLY THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEAR THE SPINE. JUST ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A TINY SLIVER OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM LEFT
THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNS FROM TIP TO TIP.
THE BOTTOM EDGE DOES HAVE A LITTLE RUBBING TO LEFT CORNER TIS ONLY
THE SPINE HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED EDGES, AND IS 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. NO RUBBING AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE, PLUS EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A DOT OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE ONCE AGAIN IS ' AS NEW' RAZOR SHARP, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS WHITE , AND THIS IN ITSELF IS RARE, BECAUSE MOST COPIES OF THIS SLEEVE HAVE A YELLOWISH TINGE FROM AGE, BUT THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY, AGAIN BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE PLASTIC. THERE ARE NO EDGE PRESSURE LINES. THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS A TINY MARK AND THAT IS THE ONLY LITTLE BLEMISH
THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE ONCE AGAIN SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED, AS IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND TOTALLY UNSPLIT, AND IN CREASE FREE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
