THE BEATLES - HELP

 MINT MINUS AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH

1ST PRESS STEREO - 1965

NEAR MINT MINUS SLEEVE TO MATCH

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN SUPERN 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 SMALL CLUSTER OF  TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND IT 

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.

EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE VERY FINE AND AGAIN NON SOUNDING SKATE LINE ON SIDE ONE (SEE PICS)

THE TEST PLAY

THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. 

THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. 

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE. 

THE EARLY STEREO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE. MANY MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. 

THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL IS FLAWLESS!!!

GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES. I CANNOT SAY THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD A COPY OF THIS ALBUM IN SUCH MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION

THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. NO VINYL NOISE AND NOT EVEN ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF STATIC

NO CLICKS TICS OR POPS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN YOURSELF AND IN PARTICULAR LISTEN TO 'YESTERDAY' WHICH HAS A HISTORY OF DISTORTION AND SOUNDING POOR, BUT NOT ON THIS ONE. IT IS THE CLEAN. 

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS

SUPERB GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SINGLESLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH CAN YELLOW BADLY, HAS NOT ON THIS ONE. IT IS  INCREDIBLY WHITE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND NO LAMINATE PEEL, FLAKE OR EVEN LIFT

THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THE ONLY MINUSCULE WEAR IS TO THE TWO RIGHT CORNER TIPS WHICH HAVE THE BAREST RUBBING TO THEM (SEE THE PICTURES AND YOU WILL SEE HOW TINY)

THERE ARE 2 OF THE TINIEST NEAR INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND NONE ON EACH OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES

NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE EITHER. THERE IS ONE ON PAUL'S JACKET AND FACE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TINIEST PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION.  THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A PIN PRICK OF RUB AT THE TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE FEATHERING TOWARDS THE BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS REMAINED IN A VERY WHITE CONDITION. EASILY STAINED AND MARKED THIS ONE ONLY THE VERY LIGHTEST TOUCH OF HANDLING  / AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES AND A LITTLE MORE ON THE OPENING EDGE

THE FLIPBACKS ARE PRISTINE, PERFECTLY ADHERED AND NO CRACKS OR LINES.

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INPERFECT CONDITION. TWO CRIMPS ON THE BOTTOM EDGE 

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS

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