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 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED SINCE 1965

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN STUNNING CONDITION. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT SOME FINE WISPY HAIRLINES, AD 3-4 FINE ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINES

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 BECAUSE I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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 MONO REPRODUCTION. JUST PURE FIRST PRESS MONO SOUND.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH, AND THIS IS VITAL AS SO MANY BEATLES ALBUM WERE PLAYED TO DEATH ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A TOO HEAVY STYLUS AND OR A WORN STYLUS. THIS ONE IS PERFECT AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE ARE NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS EITHER

EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS THE PRODUCER INTENDED AND BEARING IN MIND THIS ALBUM IS 47 YEARS OLD. IT IS QUITE STUNNING

THERE ARE THREE ROTATIONAL TICKS IN THE PENULTIMATE LINKING GROOVE ON SIDE ONE, AND OTHER THAN THAT THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC AND A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

A SUPERB VINYL THAT I AM HAPPY TO GRADE NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE NEW.

THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE, AND THE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST FIVE SMALL ONES. THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE ONE OF WHICH SPIDERS OUT A LITTLE INTO RINGO'S FACE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND FOUR SMALL THUMB LINES, THREE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, AND ONE NEAR THE SPINE.

HE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR

THE SPINE IS JUST IMMACULATE. TYPEFACE FULLY LEGIBLE, TOTALLY UNSQUASHED AND NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE

THE OPENING EDGE ISSTILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE AREA TOWARD'S THE TOP WHERE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS. THERE IS THE VERY VERY LIGHTEST TRACE OF HANDLING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES, AND THAT'S BEING REALLY PICKY. THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL UNDAMAGED AND PERFECTLY ADHERED

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. TWO OF THE CORNERS HAVE CREASES, BUT IMPORTANTLY THE DIE CUT HOLE IS PRISTINE, AND THERE ARE NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS. IT IS STILL SUPERBLY WHITE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
