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 SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF HAVING FOXING. I HAVE HANDLED EVERY COPY IN THIS COLLECTION AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I SUSPOECT IT IS A FLAW IN THE CARD USED TO MAKE THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A TINY BIT OF FOXING VISIBLKE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE THE WHITE IS. FOR SOME REASON IT ONLY SEEMS TO APPEAR ON THE WHITE AREAS
THE REST OF THE SURFACE US DEEP RICHLY COLOURED AND ONLY HAS A SLIVER OF GREEN ON PAUL'S CHEEK
FLAT AND CLEAN AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, NO BENDS EITHER. THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE
THERE ARE NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS INTACT, AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNDAMAGED ALBEIT HAVING A DOT OF FOXING ON THE RIGHT TIP ENDS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH ENDS ARE PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST A FEW FOXING MOTTLES ON THE SPINE AND BOTTOM EDGE OPENING THE GATEFOLD IS WHERE MOST OF THE FOXING OCCURS. THE BOTTOM EDGES IN PARTICULAR HAVE SUFFEREDTHE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT CONDITION..NO EDGE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST NO SEAM SPLITS AND THE THUMB NOTCH IS PERFECT. LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE THERE IS SOME MILD FOXING
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX
