THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE MARK ON ANY OF THEM, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PRISTINE.
THERE ARE 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LABEL.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL LUSTER AND LOOKS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT STILL LOOKS IMMACULATE SHOWING JUST ONE OR TWO WISPY HAIRLINES
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 BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
ZERO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE PLAY, WITH JUST A SPECK AUDIBLE IN THE DEAD WAX
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVES
THIS IS THE CORRECT FACTORY ISSUE APPLE PAPER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL VERY BRIGHT. A LITTLE WRINKLED IN THE CORNERS AND A FEW WHITE LINES ON THE EDGES, PLUS SOME RECORD IMPRESSION. NO TEARS OR SEAM SPLITS THOUGH
THE TOP EDGE IS UNWORN
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT WITH PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS
FOR ME THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
