THE LABELS
THE DARK RED AND SILVER UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE VINYL HAS HAD JUST A FEW CAREFUL PLAYS IN THE 52 YEARS IT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ONLY ONE TOTALLY NON SOUNDING WISPY HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE. AND A COUPLE OF SMALLER WISPY HAIRLINES ON SIDE TWO
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 AM DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL 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
THE RECORD PLAYS AS NEW ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO UNWORN .
PLEASE PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND THEN YOU WILL TRULY APPRECIATE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS 1965 RECORDING TRULY IS
FIRSTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY CLICKS OR LOUD POPS ANYWHERE THROUGH THE PLAY THROUGH, SHOWING ONCE AGAIN JUST HOW SPECIAL THIS ALBUM IS
YOU WILL HEAR A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND ON OCCASION ONLY IN JUST ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES
THERE ARE NO MORE THAN ONE TINY STATIC TIC ALSO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
WITH ALL THINGS CONSIDERED AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE STUNNING CONDITION OF THIS ALBUM I AM GOING TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, PLAY ALL OF THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
RARE FLIPBACK JAMES UPTON PRESS ISSUE OF THIS SLEEVE. LAMINATED FRONT AND NON LAMINATED REAR
I HAVE OFTEN MENTIONED JUST HOW THIN THESE EARLY STONES ALBUM SLEEVES ARE. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE QUALITY SLEEVES THAT THE BEATLES ALBUMS CAME IN IT, MAKE YOU WONDER WHY THEY DECIDED TO PUT WHAT WOULD BE VERY POPULAR RECORDS IN SLEEVES THAT COULDN'T HANDLE THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF THE VINYL
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY FOUND CREASED ALL OVER, ON THIS COPY IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER. NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST TWO , INCREDIBLY THIS SLEEVE HAS NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE LIKE YOU WILL FIND ON MOST EXAMPLES
FIVE LAMINATE LINES ON THE TOP EDGE, FIVE ALONG THE BOTTOM, THERE ARE FOUR TINY THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER,WITH THE LAMINATE PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL. BOTH HAVE ULTRA SMOOTH SURFACES TO THE TOUCH AND A JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIP ENDS
THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, ONE OR TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES ACROSS THE SURFACE THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH A BIT OF BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND A WHITE SURFACE THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY WITH JUST A LIGHT TRACE OF NATURAL AGEING , AND HANDLING , MAINLY TO THE EDGES
THERE IS NO RING WEAR
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, TWO CORNER CREASES, STILL VERY WHITE
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
