THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.

THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINISCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS JUST HAD VERY LIMITED PLAY SINCE 1965 . IT'S QUITE ASTOUNDING

THE VINYL

HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGNAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS . UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME VERY WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE FINE HANDLING LINE AT THE START OF SIDE ONE THAT IS HALF AN INCH LONG AND TOTALLY NON SOUNDING

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORDS BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

I HAVE LISTENED TO MANY BEATLES ALBUMS THAT LOOK FANTASTIC ONLY TO FIND THEY HAVE SERIOUS GROOVE WEAR, RESULTING IN A DISTORTION THROUGH ONE SPEAKER. THIS EFFECT IS CAUSED PURELY BY THE VERY HEAVY TONE ARMS THAT WERE USED IN THE 60'S , OR ONE THAT HAD A WORN STYLUS. WITH THESE ALBUMS YOU JUST GENERALLY CANNOT TELL MY LOOKING AT THE VINYL.

THIS ALBUM HAS NO GROOVE WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND THEREFORE NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN STEREO REPRODUCTION. 

JUST PURE FIRST PRESS STEREO SOUND. THERE ARE NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE. A GREAT TRACK TO LISTEN TO TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STEREO AND MONO VERSIONS IS ' I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER' WHERE ON THE STEREO VERSION THE HARMONICA INTRO GETS MESSED UP AND THERE IS A GAP WHERE THERE SHOULD BE A NOTE.

I THINK THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY I HEARD ONE OR MAYBE TWO TINY DUST POPS, AND A COUPLE MORE ON THE FINAL RUN OUT

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP AS MINT!!!!

AN INVESTMENT GRADE COPY!!!!
