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 LIKIE AT A BEATLES CONCERT. THE BAND COULDN'T HEAR THEMSELVES FOR THE SCREAMING
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 ARE JUST SPIDER LINES 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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS THAT ON OFFER. THE REPORDUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
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 SOUNDS. SIDE 2 TRACK ONE HAS THREE VERY LIGHT ROTATIONAL POPS RIGHT AT THE END OF IT. I HAVE RECORDED THESE SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF HOW IT SOUNDS TO YOU
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
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 PROTETCTED 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 VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF HANDLING. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE 4 CORNERS ARE VERY TIDY. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE SPINE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERYBIT AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PRISTINE INNER SURFACE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY SMALL LINES TOP RIGHT AND TOP LEFT CORNERS
THE INNER SLEEVE WHILST FLAT AND CLEAN HAS HAD TWO SEAM SPLITS AND THESE HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. GETTING ANOTHER INNER SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS / INNER VG
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
