NO BEATLES COLLECTION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT THIS ALBUM. RECORDED LIVE IN THE USA ON THEIR FIRST AND SECOND TRIPS TO THE USA, IT GIVES A REAL FLAVOUR OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE AT A BEATLES CONCERT.
THE BAND COULDN'T HEAR THEMSELVES FOR THE SCREAMING AND IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY STOPPED TOURING IN 1966
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE PICTURE LABEL ON SIDE ONE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE WHITE BITS STILL VERY WHITE. NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. THE SIDE WITH THE TRACKLISTING IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN , AND THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES THAT ARE OTHERWISE INVISIBLE
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, AND THIS IS A SERVICE THAT I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF ODD SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, AND NO DUST POPS AT ALL, AT ANY POINT DURING THE REPRODUCTION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF LOOKING REALLY SHABBY.
FIRSTLY IS COLLECTS GRIME LIKE A MAGNET, AND SECONDLY MANY COPIES IF NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED SUFFER FROM RING WEAR. THIS PARTICULAR SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THE BUFF COLOUR IS FULLY INTACT AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF HANDLING.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE 4 CORNERS ARE VERY SHARP.
THERE ARE THREE SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR,WITH THE CREAM COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP ENDS SHOW A TINY SPECK OF RUB.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS PERFECT AND EVEN THE TIPS AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM ARE UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE AND PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE INNER SLEEVE IS PERFECTLY WHITE, UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
