Description
FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com
I have acquired a Large Paul McCartney collection, where the original owner had two copies of each title. Looking at the one set in particular it would appear that he had one for playing and one for storing.
They were all housed in a proper record case so no chance to get damaged
I am going to release these one per day in the original release order, so starting on Sunday 28th April with the Debut solo album
If you want the best copy that money can buy then look no further

THE PACK
IF YOU HAVE EVER TRIED TO COLLECT THIS SET, YOU WOULD FIND IT A REAL CHALLENGE TO FIND ONE WITH THE OUTER CASE IN TOP CONDITION. MOST ARE QUITE BATTERED AND CREASED. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS
SO I AM GOING TO START WITH THE BACK. WHICH HAS THE UNIQUE LIMITED EDITION NUMBER OF WHICH THIS ONE IS 06222
ALSO ON THE BACK IS THE TUCK IN FLAP SYSTEM. MOST WILL BE IN HORRIBLE CONDITION, BUT THIS ONE THE FLAPS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. NO BENDS OR TEARS TO THE FRAGIME TABS AND THE TUCK IN SLOTS ARE ALSO PERFECT.
BECAUSE THE ROUNDED CORNERS PROTRUDE OVER THE ACTUAL SHEEL THEY ARE ALWAYS FOUND BENT AND VERY WORN. THESE ONES ONLY HAVE LIGHT BENDS AND THERE IS NO WEAR TO THE COLOURS
TUENING OVER TO THE FRONT THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE DIE CUT LETTERING. THIS IS ABSOLUTELKY PERFECT. NONE OF THE LETTERS ARE DAMAGED WHATSOEVER. THE HYPE STICKER SITS IRMLY IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE BLACK SURFACE IS JUST IMMACULATE
THE BOTTOM CORNERS ARE AS GOOD AS THE REAR ONES. THE TOP ONES DO HAVE A LITTLE CREASE AT THE TOP OF EACH ONE. THERE IS ALSO A LIGHT CREASE LINE UNDER THE TOP EDGE OF THE MAIN BODY OF THE SLEEVE
THE THREE BLACK EDGES (2 SIDES AND THE BOTTOM EDGE) ARE ALL IN PERFECT CONDITION. ABSOLUTELY NO WEAR TO THE COLOUR WHATSOEVER ON ANY OF THEM
