EXCELLENT PLUS ' SAMPLER ALBUM' SLEEVE
THE VERY 1ST ISSUE!!
- CATALOGUE:PARLOPHONE PSLP 261
- MATRIX: SPSLP 2614 A-2 / B-3
- HTM ETCHED INTO DEAD WAX BOTH SIDES
OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I WILL BE LISTING SOME BEATLES AND BEATLES RELATED VINYLS THAT ARE IN THE ABSOLUTE BEST CONDITION POSSIBLE. THERE ARE MANY MORE MINT UNPLAYED OR ONCE PLAYED ALBUMS TO COME, SO KEEP CHECKING BACK DAILY TO SEE WHAT IS AVAILABLE, BUT ALL OF THE CLASSIC VOLUMES WILL BE HERE OVER THE COMING WEEKS
THIS LP WAS THE ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE AND WAS INCLUDED IN THE BEATLES BOX SET ONLY!! IT WAS RELEASED IN IT'S OWN RIGHT LATER ON A DIFFERENT CATALOUGUE NUMBER, BUT THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PRESSING. THIS LP WAS ISSUED IN 1978 WHEREAS THE STAND ALONE PRESSING WAS RELEASED ALMOST A YEAR LAYER AT THE END OF 1979
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND CLOSE EXAMINATION CANNOT FIND ONE SPIDER LINE ON EITHER SIDE. THE LP SET HAS UNTIL TODAY NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY OF THE SURFACES. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE . A TRULY PRISTINE VINYL
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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED LP, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT. I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THIS LP FIRST OF ALL HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO STATIC EITHER
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!! AN ABSOLUTE MUSEUM PIECE
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND ALL OF THE BLUE COLOUR IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED
THERE ARE SIX LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR JUST A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE BLUE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS A SPECK OF LIGHT RUBBING. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF RANDOM MINUSCULE WHITE FLECKS ELSEWHERE
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS
THE BLUE BASE COLOUR IS ONLY INTERRUPTED BY A FEW WHITE LINES RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE FROM WHERE THE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ON THE FRONT HAVE CREPT ROUND
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOW JUST WHY THE LP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS FOUR SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND A FEW FLECKS OF WHITE JUST ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE TOP LEFT CORNER HAS THE SAMPLE ALBUM NOT FOR RESALE STRIPE ACROSS IT
THE PLAIN WHITE 'IMPORTANT NOTICE' INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, UNCREASED AND STILL PURE WHITE
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
