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. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SWIRLY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE, PLUS A FEW VERY VERY FINE SMALL 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 IS ONLY A TINY TRACE OF VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY DURING SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND ONLY WHEN YOU SIT RIGHT ON TOP OF YOUR SPEAKERS AS I DO WHILST TYPING THIS OUT. MOVING TO NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE ELIMINATES IT TOTALLY

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 4-5 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

A SUPERB VINYL THAT I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT. NEAR MINT MINUS AT THE ABSOLUTE LOWEST

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 ONE MINUSCULE ONE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE REALLY MINUSCULE THUMB LINE ON THE SECOND 'PAUL' IN FROM THE OPENING EDGE

HE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE LAMINATE FUNS FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP, WITH ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS JUST IMMACULATE. ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING FULLY FROM TAPERED END TO TAPERED END, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A VERY SLIGHT ROUGH FEEL, BUT NOT BURRED

THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS. CLEARLY THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND PICTURES ARE TOTALLY IMMACULATE AND UNRUBBED, AND THE FLIPBACKS ARE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY ADHERED WITH JUST TWO NEAR INVISIBLE LITTLE LINES ON THE SPINE EDGE. THERE IS JUST THE ABSOLUTE BAREST TRACE OF HANDLING TO THE OPENING EDGE

THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO ORIGINAL . A LITTLE CREASING TO THE EDGES AND CORNERS, BUT NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. ALSO A FEW GRUBBY FINGERMARKS, AND ONE TEAR TO THE CENTRE HOLE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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