THE RECORD
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS JUST 3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES ON SIDE 1 AND 2.THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN THE LAST 49 YEARS!!!!
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER VERY, VERY STRONG LIGHT YOU CAN MAKE OUT JUST A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS - STUNNING
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS MONO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE. THE EARLY MONO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE.
THIS VINYL IS FLAWLESS!!!
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. JUST THE OCCASIONAL SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC.
IF YOU WANT THE BEST AND CLEANEST COPY OF A HARD DAYS NIGHT THAT MONEY CAN BUY, AND A TRUE INVESTMENT GRADE COPY, THEN YOU SHOULD LOOK NO FURTHER
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. AS MENTIONED THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE CORNERS ARE TOTALLY SQUARE AND SHARP.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. THE LAMINATE RUNS UNBLEMISHED FROM CORNER TO CORNER
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT!!!!!!! CONDITION. THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED EVEN THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE 100% UNRUBBED.
THE SPINE IS ALSO ABSOLUTELY AND 100% TOTALLY FLAT, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.NO SQUASHING WHATSOEVER
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, PERFECTLY WHITE.. STUNNING!!!!
I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE EVER SEEN A WHITER EXAMPLE, THERE IS JUST NO AGEING OR HANDLING TO THIS DELICATE AND POROUS SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF RUBBING OR FADING TO THE BLACK TYPEFACE. YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN FOR THINKING THIS HAD JUST BEEN PRINTED AND PRESSED UP
IT IS SO OBVIOUS THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND A CLEANER AND BETTER EXAMPLE
THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT MINUS CONDITION.BARELY A WRINKLE AND TOTALLY WHITE AND UNSPLIT, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS
HAPPY BIDDING ON THE MUSEUM PIECE..
