THIS IS A SUPERB ALBUM THAT WAS PRESSED FOR EXPORT TO THE USA. ORIGINALLY ON THE SILVER AND BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL. THE ALBUM WAS REPRESSED ON THE DARK APPLE LABEL, AND THEN AGAIN IN 1973 ON THIS, THE LIGHT GREEN APPLE LABEL

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN APPLE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE WHITE SIDE IS PURE WHITE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE ON BOTH SIDES BEING UNRUBBED.

IF YOU TAKE A CAREFUL LOOK AT THE GREEN SIDE YOU WILL SEE A LARGE LUMP OF RESIDUAL VINYL SHARD PROTRUDING FROM THE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THE DISC HAS BARELY BEEN ON A TURNTABLE, AS THIS WOULD HAVE MOST CERTIANLY FALLEN AWAY.

THERE ARE JUST TWO MINISCULE SPIDER LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, BACKING UP THE VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED DESCRITION

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS ON BOTH SIDES, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN

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 LOVE 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.

THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THE CLARITY AND LOUDNESS OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. FROM THE SECOND CAN'T BUY ME LOVE STARTS YOU KNOW YOU ARE LISTENING TO A SPECIAL COPY OF THE BEATLES MATERIAL

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH AND THIS MEANS THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND WEIGHTED STYLUS

THE VINYL PERFORMS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS AND IS JUST A WONDERFUL VOLUME

IF IAM TO BE VERY PICKY THEN I CAN SAY THAT ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES I HEARD WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS VIRTUALLY INAUDIBLE VINYL NOISE. LIKE I SAY THAT IS BEING VERY PICKY AND I ONLY HEARD ANYTHING BECAUSE I SIT NO MORE THAN 18" FROM THE SPEAKERS AS I TYPE THIS OUT.

I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE FROM THIS SUPERB ALBUM

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS DISC MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN  MINT MINUS CONDITION. CONSIDERING HOW THIN THE CARD IS THE SLEEVE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME VERY VERY WELL.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT OR PEEL, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR DENTS EITHER. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE SEEN

THERE ARE JUST TWO OF THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES THAT USUALLY GATHER ALONG THE SPINE AND THEY ARE BARELY VISIBLE THIS IS VERY RARE.

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO DINGS, DENTS OR SCRATCHES WHATSOEVER

THE TOP EDGE IS MINT WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS ONE SMALL CHIP TO THE LAMINATE.

 THE SPINE IS VERY VERY THIN ON THIS SLEEVE BY DESIGN, BUT AMAZINGLY IT HASN'T CRUSHED OR PEELED, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND THERE ARE NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES EITHER

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A FEW TIMES, VERY WELL CARED FOR INDEED

THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS A HIGHLY POLISHED SURFACE AND THERE ARE 4 SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND ONE SMALL SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT IN NEAR THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT THERE IS THE SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS

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