BEWARE OF FAKES!! ONE KEY DETAIL MISSING FROM FAKE COPIES OF THIS ALBUM IS THE SPINE WORDING. HERE IS A GENUINE ORIGINAL US COPY OF THIS HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE ALBUM

THE LABELS

THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE , SHOWING THE LIMITED PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED VIRTUALLY ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS ALMOST FLAWLESS IN DAY LIGHT. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE. ON SIDE ONE THERE ARE TWO SURFACE SKATE LINES, AND ON BOTH SIDES A FEW  ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES. CERTAINLY NO SCRATCHES AND NOTHING THAT HAS PENETRATED THE GROOVES TO CAUSE ANY SKIP OR CLICK 

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING  ABID.

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

THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY ,

MOST BEATLES LP'S WERE PLAYED TO DEATH AND AS A RESULT MOST COME WITH SEVERE GROOVE WEAR. I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THIS VINYL HAS NONE WHATSOEVER

SO THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS ALSO NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS SOME LIGHT OCCASIONAL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MORE SILENT PASSAGES, AND SOME RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS AND TICS HERE AND THERE

A REALLY HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS VINYL, SO PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THE 25 MINUTES OF SOUNDBITES AND DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A BID

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH EXCELLENT PLUS

PLEASE JUDGE THE LP AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

USUALLY FOUND VERY BATTERED AND SPLIT, THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN STORED CAREFULLY FOR 50 YEARS AND IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST AMAZING.

THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE ARE NO SCUFFS OR SHELF WEAR AT ALL. THERE IS A VERY LIGHT SPECKLE OF POWDERY GREYING JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT THIS IS REALLY MINIMAL

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO RING WEAR.

THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE DOES HAVE SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR TO THE SURFACE, AND THE BOTTOM EDGE A FRACTION MORE

THE SPINE IS UNUSUALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND UNSPLIT. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND ONLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE ANY RUBBING TO THEM.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY MUCH AS NEW WITHOUT THE USUAL BURRING YOU OFTEN GET ON THIS TYPE OF SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL IN EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE WHITE SURFACE HAS A LITTLE HANDLING AND AGEING BUT ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY UNRUBBED AND LEGIBLE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE HAS BROWNED WITH AGE AND HAS CORNER CREASE LINES BUT REMAINS UNSPLIT

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS!!

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