MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
SUPERB NEAR MINT SLEEVE
EXPORTED FROM CANADA TO THE UK
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST WHY THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN THE LAST 56 YEARS
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT OTHER THAN A THIN DULL SCUFF LINE WHICH SITS ON THE OPENING TRACK SIDE TWO AND DOES NOT SOUND WHATSOEVER AS IT IS SURFACE ONLY
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THIS IS STILL THE ONLY MARK ON THE VINYL. THE REAST OF THE SURFACES ARE MINT
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. 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 PRECISE
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.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
A DEEP RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND THROUGHOUT UNINTERRUPTED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES
I DON'T BELIEVE I EVEN HEARD ANY DUST POPS THOUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC TICS AND A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO MINT MINUS
TAKE A LISTEN A JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
This album was imported into the UK back in 1970 for a Beatles enthusiast who wanted to buy it. The Store Godfreys Of Basildon (Sticker still on the bottom rear corner) ordered ti for the customer. As with all expots the sleeve was subjected to a export hole punch, which is also in the bottom corner
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.
NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE COLOURS ARE DEEP, RICH AND VIBRANT HAVING NO RUB OR COLOUR FADE
THERE ARE FOUR PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. THREE ON THE TOP EDGE AND TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR AND JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP, AND NO RECORD IMPRESSION. IN ADDITION THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED AND ONLY THE CORNER TIPS SHOW A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE SPINE HAS THE FOUR PRESSURE LINES FROM THE FRONT SHOWING ON THE SPINE AND A DOT OF RUB AT EACH END, BUT THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND HAS PERFECT TYPEFACE
THE OPENING EDGE ONLY HAS A VERY TINY BIT OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A PERFECT PASTE ON. THIS HAS NO RING WEAR OR ANY RUBBING. A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE BUT THATS ALL
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
IT WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING AND IS TRULY AN INVESTMENT GRADE CONDITION
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
