TAKE A LISTEN TO THE INCREDIBLE MONO REPRODUCTION 

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS JUST A FEW TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND IT, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN THE LAST 56 YEARS!!!!

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE , SOME FINE PAPER SCUFF LINES AND A TINY TULL MARK

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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

THIS MONO ALBUM PLAYS VERY WELL. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE. 

THE EARLY MONO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE. 

GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS NEAR SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

ALL YOU WILL HEAR IS THE OCCASIONAL SPECK OF LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. 

NO CLICKS  JUST A FEW TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM EX+

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THIS SLEEVE IS OFTEN FOUND YELLOWED WITH AGE, BUT THIS ONE IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH ALMOST NO AGEING WHATSOEVER

THERE IS NOT ONE CREASE, OR CREASE LINE ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE, AND NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

FOUR REALLY SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE 

ONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. 

NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, AND NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. THE LAMINATE RUNS UNBLEMISHED FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH ONLY A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE  RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION.  THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED EVEN THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE 100% UNRUBBED.

THE TEXT IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE  ONLY HAS A VERY MILD ROUGNESS TO PARTS OF IT AND IS STILL SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND  NOT EVEN ANY SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ANGLE IT INTO A STRONG LIGHT

THERE IS JUST NO AGEING OR HANDLING TO THE MAIN BODY OF THIS POROUS SURFACE . JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF BROWNING TO THE VERY EDGES

ALL OF THE FLIPBACKS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!!  IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD

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