I WOULDN'T USUALLY LIST A PEPPER ALBUM THAT ONLY GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS, BUT DUE TO THE RARITY OF THE LABEL ERROR I THOUGHT I SHOULD MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO COLLECTORS
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE
THE VINYL
VINYL IS STILL GLOSSY AND UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE MANY WISPY HAIRLINES, LIGHT HANDLING LINES AND A FEW TINY HANDLING MARKS
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 RECORD FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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
INCREDIBLE MONO REPRODUCTION
WHAT I HAVE FOUND OVER THE YEARS IS THAT A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF BEATLES ALBUMS WERE PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS EITHER WORN OR TOO HEAVY RESULTING IN DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, USUALLY WHEN I AM LISTENING TO THEM THERE IS AN IRRITATING NOISE COMING FROM ONE SPEAKER ONLY WHERE THE STYLUS HAS WORN ONE SIDE OF THE GROOVE. WELL THIS ONE HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM AND PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A MONO PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IS NOTHING SHORT OF SUPERB!! PRESSED LOUDLY EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED
THE ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT DISTORTION WHICH TO ME IS THE BIGGEST THREAT, AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, AND RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS AND TICS
MY SUGGESTION IS TO PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND THEN JUDGE IT'S QUALITY FOR YOURSELF
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP PLAYTHROUGH EXCELLENT / EXCELLENT PLUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES, AND NO BENDS OR FOLDS
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND LOOKS JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE JUST FOUR TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND JUST ONE SMALL THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE LAMINATE RUNS FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP, WHILST THE BOTTOM ONE HAS JUST THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE SPINE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, WITH THE LAMINATE PRISTINE AND FULLY INTACT. NO WEAR OR RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IT IS ALSO 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED
THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A SPECK OF BURRING TO THE REAR EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD, REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. ALL OF THE YELLOW IS INTACT, AND THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS GLEAMING AS THE FRONT, AND AGAIN HAS JUST THREE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE
THE RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST . FLAT, CLEAN, NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO WEAR TO THE OPENING EDGE.JUST THE MILDEST BIT OF AGEING TO THE EDGES IN THE FORM OF RECORD SHAPE
THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VERY RARE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
