Description
As a vinyl collector, I’ll always give you every descriptive detail that I would want to know if I was the customer. I’m not one of these sellers who’ll just list a vinyl and say the grading and that’s it... and most of the vinyl sellers on here just don’t have a clue anyhow (they seriously don't, I only trust a certain few dealers on here). I’ve been collecting vinyl for years and along with those years, I have gained the expertise and knowledge of how a vinyl should be cared for. So please be rest assured that you'll receive what is being described here.
All my vinyl is play-tested before listing on a high-end stereo set-up (Set-up listed later)
The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl box set of UK released Beatles LPs, remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo. Each album was pressed on virgin vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) ensuring the best sound quality possible. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet, which included splitting 'The Beatles' into 2 separate covers.
Here we have With The Beatles from the Mobile Fidelity 1982 vinyl box set in Near Mint condition. They tried to reissue this as a standalone in 1983 but the stamper broke and they weren't allowed the master tapes back so a pretty rare and sought after pressing. The 1983 pressings sell beyond £200-250 so grab your chance to get it a bit cheaper here from the box set and it sounds fantastic. One of the pressings to get for With The Beatles Stereo.
Matrix Numbers:
Side A – MFSL-1-102-A2 H 1 2 1
Side B – MFSL-1-102-B3 H 1 3 1
Vinyl Visual: Near Mint
I've inspected both sides under strong LED light and examined the vinyl in multiple angles of light; The vinyl gleams like new and I can't spot a single mark. It's visually beautiful.
Vinyl Audio: Near Mint
Plays fantastic all the way through with a gorgeous bright sound. Just listen in the video. One of the best sounding With The Beatles pressings out there. No issues to feedback on.
Labels: Near Nint
Both labels are in top condition! I can only see one tiny spindle line coming from the spindle hole per label and I mean tiny. A very strong indication of the vinyl being barely played at all.
Sleeve: Near Mint
Just look at the photos. No split seams or evident wear. A beautiful example.
Inner-Sleeve: Excellent
Excellent grading only due to slight discolouration when opened but very hard to find these without a bit of discoloration.
No split seams.
Play tested on my Rega Planar 3 RS Edition with an Ortafon 2M Black 250 LVB Cartridge installed (£800 Stylus!) 1.6 gram downward tracking force. Project Tube Box S2 pre-amp
Amp – Cambridge CXA81
Pair of Wharfedale Linton Speakers
High Quality System for accurate and safe playback.
All my vinyl is cleaned with a Project VC-S3 Record vacuum cleaning machine with Project Wash-it 2 cleaning fluid. The only way I recommend cleaning a vinyl. Never Rub wipe because all you’re doing is pushing dirt/dust deeper into the groves and potentially unnecessarily scratching yourvinyp records.
Postage and Packaging:
UK Shipping Only! Excluding Gibraltar.
I will only send via The Royal Mail Tracked.
All vinyl is packed in strong cardboard vinyl mailers with the aid of cardboard stiffeners for extra protection.
Vinyl will be separated from the original outer and inner sleeves and placed in new poly-lined inners. This is to prevent split seam damage to the original outer and inner sleeves during postage.
Payment within 4 days or your order may be cancelled. Please no serial negative feedback buyers, your order may also be cancelled.
Returns:
If you are not entirely happy with your purchase, please contact me before leaving feedback and I’ll always resolve any issue. If you want to send the item back, I’ll only pay return shipping fees if I’m at fault; I’m human after all. But if you’re sending the item back just for the sake of it, that’s a different story…you’ll have to pay the return fee. Please repack the vinyl the exact way you received it, if you return damaged goods, your return will not be accepted. Please don’t destroy the cardboard vinyl mailer upon opening because you can reuse it.
