FINDING ANY BEATLES RELATED ALBUM THAT HASN'T BEEN PLAYED BEFORE IS VERY VERY RARE. HERE IS ONE OF A FEW THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING DAYS THAT ALL CAME FROM THE SAME COLLECTOR
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE APPLE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IT HAS THAT JUST REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE SHEEN ABOUT IT, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS HAS NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE UNTIL TODAY.
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR.
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT!. I GUARANTEE THAT MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
SO THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
SECONDLY THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER.
NO VINYL NOISE AND BARELY A SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC
I AM CERTAIN I DIDN'T HEAR MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE.
ONE OF THE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THIS SLEEVE IS RING WEAR AND CREASING DUE TO THE VERY THIN CARD THAT WAS USED IN THE MAKING OF IT.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES.
THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, BUT TWO MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM, THERE AREN'T ANY THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE COLOURS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND WITHOUT RING WEAR, BUT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE, AND THERE IS JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN UNRUBBED CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. THE TOP EDGE ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING ON IT.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE AND THE ENDS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED. WITH JUST AN ABSOLUTE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE VERY TIP OF THE BOTTOM.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY INTACT AND UNRUBBED. ONE FINE LINE NEAR THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, AND ANOTHER TINY LITTLE ONE AT THE VERY TOP OF THE SPINE. AGAIN IF THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE IS VISIBLE
THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT!! THE CORRECT FIRST ISSUE IS IDENTIFIED BY THE FACT THAT THREE OF THE CORNERS ARE ANGLED. IT IS ALSO UNCREASED AND STILL VERY WHITE
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
