Description
Here we go Beatle fans
On offer here is a Mono With The Beatles Vinyl with the misprint 'You Really GOTTA Hold on me' on the sleeve only. Also this is the darker 1st press front cover.
I've graded this the best I can from being a vinyl collector myself. I'm quite OCD with the vinyl I own, I handle the vinyl with great care and I buy used/new. If I buy a vinyl from new it stays mint.
My description is exactly what I would want to know as a collector if I was buying from ebay. I don't just put Excellent or NM as most vinyl sellers do here. You'll get an accurate description of the audio and the visual.
Pro-ject VC-S3 vacuum cleaned with Pro-Ject Wash it 2 cleaning fluid. The only way I'd recommend cleaning.
SLEEVE: VG+ Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve
Very clean and crisp front and back cover. The front cover has '5.00' written in pen just under the Mono title on the front cover (please see photo). The sleeve has light ringware (please see photo). The edges are in great condition. Hardly any shelf storage wear. Spine looks great, fully readable. Corners light wear.
VINYL: VG+/EX
VISUALLY - inspected thoroughly under bright light.
Both sides have harmless sleeve removal marks and light marks that are none audible. There's a scribble mark on the track 'You Really Got A Hold On Me' but its harmless and none audible.
Vinyl lays flat and no warping or dishing.
LABELS - thoroughly checked under bright light at an angle.
Both labels are free of any writing or stickers. They have a few spindle trail lines on both sides.
AUDIO: Side 1:VG+ Side 2:EX
No sticks or skips.
The tracks sound great, Side 1 could be punchier but still sounds good. Side 2 sounds punchy like a 1st press should do.
There is light static/crackle on the run-ins before and between tracks in places. Only noticeable issues with play back is that there are a few light pops during 'All I've Got To Do' and a little light crackle on 'Till There Was You' and 'You Really Got A Hold On Me' but I'm being picky here. All in all, Excellent playback.
Matrix Numbers:
Side 1: XEX 447-1N
Side2: XEX 448-1N
INNER SLEEVE: fair/good
Quite a lot of age related foxing on the original inner along with split seams.
Play tested on a PRO-JECT X1 TURNTABLE - CARTRIDGE MM PICK IT S2 1.8g tracking force - CAMBRIDGE CXA81 AMP - PAIR OF WHARFEDALE LINTON SPEAKERS.
Vinyl will be removed from sleeve and original inners; then placed in new polythene inners and sent all together to prevent damage.
Unfortunately I don't accept returns due to the fact people have returned vinyl not in the same condition I've sent it. I'm sorry but the few always spoil it for the rest. It can be a lot of hassle as you can imagine.
I will however accept a return if there's something I've missed off the description and you're unhappy about it.
Any questions please ask
Postage to mainland UK only
Good luck!
