DESCRIPTION: This LP allows one to own a tube cut analog pressing in nearly perfect condition at a fraction of the cost of an early Parlophone label in stereo in the same condition. The vinyl plays Mint with no surface static in the gaps.
Here’s a description of these one box pressings by a UK LP specialist:
“In October 1969 EMI introduced this new '1-EMI-box' design label to replace the yellow & black design which had been employed since April 1963. Most utilized the same matrices with the original 'tube-cut' mixes/masters as the 1st pressing and are their equal in all and sometime better in sound quality. The '1-EMI-box' label design did not stay around very long and by mid-1970 a second EMI boxed logo had been added but the 'Gramophone Co..' rim-text remained and so did the quality of the pressings. Some titles kept one or both of their original 1st pressing matrices and those that were re-cut were done so by original Beatles ace cutting engineer Harry Moss. In 1973 EMI's Hayes factory was refurbished and the pressing of back catalogue vinyl was contracted out to EMI's sister company Pathé Marconi in France bringing this golden age of analog vinyl production to an end.”

_____________________________________________________________
I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.
The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG++
Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.
As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
