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
THIS IS THE SECOND COPY OF B.O.T.R FROM THIS COLLECTION AND REMARKABLY ALSO A -1/-1 FIRST PRESS

THE LABELS
NON TEXTURED LABELS. 1ST ISSUE WITH THE SILVER APPLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE AT 3 O'CLOCK
TOTALLY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLES
7-8 SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
VERY VERY CLEAN AND GLOSSY EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM. IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS
UNDER A MAGNIFYING HALO I CAN SEE SOME VERY FINE WISPY AND DULL HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF VERY TINY NON SOUNDING MARKS
ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
ALL I HEARD WERE TWO TINY DUST POPS AND TWO TINY SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE . THE FRONT SURFACE IS USUALLY FOUND WITH THE COLOUR IN A POOR CONDITION, OR RING WORN, BUT NOT THIS ONE, IT'S IMMACULATE, WITH DEEP RICH COLOUR
IT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND THIS IS THE REASON FOR IT'S INCREDIBLE CONDITION
NON LAMINATED MATTE BROWN SINGLE SLEEVE
FLAT AND CLEAN AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, NO BENDS EITHER. THERE ARE JUST THREE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE.
THERE ARE NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS ONE VERY LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING OVER THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS INTACT, AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, AND ALL I SEE IS ONE TINY LITTLE WHITE SPECK ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE BOTTOM END HAS A DOT OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH ONE TINY NICK AT THE VERY TOP
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT. TWO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE. ONCE AGAIN THE COLOUR IS PERFECTTHE ANGLED CORNERED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. IT IS THE FIRST ISSUE THAT ONLY HAS THREE CORNERS CUT WITH ONE OF THE BOTTOM ONES REMAINING SQUARE.
TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED AND HAS A SMALL SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE THUMB NOTCH AT THE OPENING EDGE HAS ONE TINY NICK IN THE MIDDLE
THE POSTER IS IN MINT CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
