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
PAUL AND LINDA MCCARTNEY - RAM
UNPLAYED UNTIL TODAY
STONE MINT VINYL AND SLEEVE
FINAL UPGRADE
THE LABELS
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. BOTH THE GREEN SIDE AND THE WHITE SIDE
PRISTINE UNRUBBED COLOUR AND TYPEFACE
THE VINYL
ALSO IMMACULATE. YOU WILL NEVER FIND A CLEANER EXAMPLE. IT JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE
BOTH IN DAY LIGHT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT LOOKS MINT
KEEP THE SUPERLATIVES TO THEABSOLUTE MINIMAL AMOUNT ALL I CAN SAY IS
SUBLIME!!!
ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO DUST POPS OR TICS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT IT'S A REAL STUNNER
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED OUTSIDE, NON LAMINATED INSIDE GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THE LAMINATED FRONT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
FLAT AND CLEAN AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, NO BENDS EITHER. THERE ARE JUST TWO 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 LAMINATE IS INTACT, AND THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNDAMAGED
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH ENDS ARE PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS SPECTACULAR AS THE FRONT, ONE PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE. ONCE AGAIN THE LAMINATE ABSOLUTELY GLEAMSINSIDE THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS. THERE WERE TWO VERSIONS OF THIS SLEEVE. FULLY LAMINATED INSIDE AND OUT, AND THEN LAMINATED OUTSIDE BUT NO INSIDE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE NON LAMINATED INSIDE ISSUE WAS THAT IT WAS OFTEN CLOSED AT THE FACTORY BEFORE THE LAMINATE HAD COOLED, WHICH RESULTED IN THE TWO BOTTOM EDGES STICKING TOGETHER AND PULLING THE PAPER OFF WHEN OPENED.
I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THIS COPY IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN THAT RESPECT. NO PAPER PULL WHATSOEVER
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INPRISTINE CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
