The Beatles - From Then To You
I am pleased to offer for sale this outstanding, final upgrade copy of the Beatles' final fan club LP, From Then To You.
The Beatles made a tradition of sending a Flexi-disc every Christmas with a unique message to fans to all the members of the UK fan club.
As the band split up in 1970, they did not record a new Christmas record. Instead, fan club members received an LP which featured all of the previous tracks on a two sided LP. If you haven't heard the recordings, it is hilarious. It provides a brilliant insight into the personality of the four Beatles. Listening on to all the tracks one after the other into the progression of the band throughout the years. Take a listen yourself below!
The LP was produced to a budget and consequently is generally found in horrific condition. This particular record is in fantastic as-new condition. It would be difficult to find a better example.
Album Details:
Serial number: N/A
Matrix number: LYN 2513 / LYN 2514
Stamper codes: N/A
Vinyl Weight: 171g
The matrix numbers inform us that this record is a UK first pressing.
The labels feature the matrix numbers for the reverse side, indicating that they are the original copy.
The vinyl is housed inside a front laminated 'West Brothers' cover.
Also included is the original die cut white inner sleeve.
Condition:
The condition report provided below is given as a guide only. I include high-quality, comprehensive photographs as well as a complete audio recording in my listings to enable you to make an informed decision on the condition of this record yourself.
Vinyl: MINT -
Labels: MINT
The labels are bright, clean and without writing. No spindle wear is evident.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
The vinyl retains immaculate 'factory-fresh' deep-gloss playing surfaces. In bright daylight only a handful of light surface marks are present - presumably present from the factory.
Sound Quality: MINT -
Please use the eBay internet site to enjoy the audio clips. The eBay app does not facilitate playback.
Side 1:
Side 2:
As can be heard in the above clips, the audio is close to faultless. The lead-ins are silent. No surface noise can be heard in the dead wax. The surface noise present on the first couple of tracks is a remnant of the source material as it was taken from Freda Kelly's original flexi-discs. Truly astounding condition.
Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The original sleeve looks fantastic. It is pristine white and un-yellowed all round. The front panel retains the original high-gloss finish. A short wrinkle can be seen to the left hand side and there is a short seam split to the top edge. Again, I presume these were present from the factory. The reverse is blemish-free.
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT +
The original inner sleeve is in great condition. It is very clean, without any staining and with minimal creasing.
Additional Details:
Before the audio test, the vinyl was cleaned first by an Okki Nokki vacuum cleaner and then an Audio Desk ultrasonic cleaner.
After cleaning, the vinyl was placed inside a brand new mobile fidelity anti-static inner sleeve.
The vinyl will be packaged outside of the sleeve, both of which are stored inside an archival quality polypropylene outer sleeve.
The record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
