IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD BEATLES EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

EVERY COLLECTION SHOULD HAVE THIS 2 LP SET

No track listing needed-If you really need to know I will tell you but this is a world famous DOUBLE LP AND I don't waste time or space quoting entire lyrics like some clowns! 

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE BEATLES!!! 

DUE TO A LACK OF SPACE AND THE REALISATION THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY THE MAJORITY OF MY HUGE COLLECTION,I AM PRUNING DOWN SELECTED ITEMS.

THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from a few years later-This ESSENTIAL  LP pressed within the first few WEEKS of issue from 1968 when Beatlemania was at it's height and this DOUBLE LP was the most exciting issues of it's time.

******************************************************************** 

NOW THEN! JUST COMPARE THAT DETAIL AND HONESTY WITH OTHER SELLERS-HOW MANY OTHERS CAN YOU FIND WHO NOT ONLY STATE CLICKS AND SOUND FAULTS BUT ACTUALLY TIME THEM AND PIN POINT EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE?

MOST USE THE SAME FRAMEWORK WITH A GENERAL IT MUST BE VG+ OR BETTER TO COVER THEMSELVES!

MY IN DEPTH DETAIL IS DONE TO GIVE EVERY POTENTIAL BIDDER CONFIDENCE!

 Copies of this DOUBLE album were being sold in huge quantities but how many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!

Just to explain, in 1968,the majority of fans that were buying the mono editions were using poor equipment-The stereo versions tended to be more cared for.  

THIS SET HAS BEEN PLAYED A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT STILL SOUNDING AND LOOKING GREAT! 

I have kept hold of several great copies over the years but the time has come to thin down the collection!

The MONO mixes are brilliant and full of bass AND have lots to offer that are missing in the stereo version.

THE MONO was the one the band were most involved with. 

Any serious Beatles collector will require both mono and stereo editions.  

THE MONO VERSION IN MANY CASES IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO VERSIONS WITH FASCINATING VARIATIONS-EXTRA EFFECTS AND GUITAR"LICKS"!

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE BEATLES and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is HARDLY ANY spindle wear!!!

EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN HAS HAD SOME BUT THESE LABELS ARE STILL CLEAN!!!!!!  

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS TO SEE THE  COVER INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AND THE INSERTS,+BOTH SIDES OF THE POSTER!

ONE OF THE BLACK DIE CUT INNERS IS TATTY AND HAS VARIOUS SIDE SPLITS AND TINY EDGE TEARS.THE OTHER IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH JUST ONE TINY EDGE SPLIT MEASURING 2CM. 

EXTRA POLYLINED SLEEVES INCLUDED.

THE FOUR PHOTOS HAVE BEEN MOUNTED AT SOME STAGE WITH SMALL SURFACE TEARS AT EACH CORNER WHERE SELLOTAPE HAS BEEN REMOVED-AGAIN I DO NOT MIX AND MATCH WITH LATER REPRINTS LIKE SOME DEALERS!!!

THE POSTER HAS A FEW SPLITS AND SOME MINOR STAINING BUT NO WRITING AND IS THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE 1968 PRINTED ORIGINAL-AGAIN NO 1970s REPRINT SWOPPING AROUND!!!!.

  THE GLOSSY GATEFOLD COVER HAS A FEW MINOR CREASES,SOME MINOR STAINING,SOPME RING WEAR ON THE BACK, A LITTLE LAMINATION PEELING AT THE EDGES BUT NO NASTY RIPS,SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,STAPLES,HOLE CUTS ETC.

SPINE DETAILS ARE PARTLY WORN AWAY-THEY WERE ALWAYS FAINT PRINT ON THIS ALBUM COVER BUT CAN STILL BE READ UNLIKE MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP!! 

 Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISCS ARE IN VERY GOOD++++ CONDITION. FAR,FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "VG"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.  

AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED.

THE LPs  AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY ALL OF THE PHOTOS!
