- CATALOGUE:BELLAPHON 26016029
- MATRIX:IP 26016029-A / B
THIS ALBUM IS PART OF A HUGE BEATLES COLLECTION THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEKS. A LARGE PROPORTION OF THEM ARE UNPLAYED OR ONCE PLAYED MINT ALBUMS, AND ALL THE BIG VOLUMES ARE THERE. ALL OF THE SOLO ALBUMS AND ALL IN ABSOLUTELY THE BEST CONDITION POSSIBLE. PROBABLY A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT A GENUINE 1970'S BEATLES SOLO ALBUM IN MINT CONDITION. MINT VINYL WITH A MINT SLEEVE
THIS IS A PARTICULARLY RARE ALBUM. RECORDED IN 1982, THERE WAS NO UK OR US RELEASE, BECAUSE NO ONE WANTED TO SIGN RINGO. IT WAS ISSUES ON THE CANADIAN RCI LABEL, AND THE ONLY COMPANY IN EUROPE WHO WANTED IT WAS BELLAPHON. THEREFORE THIS IS THE ONLY EUROPEAN COPY AVAILABLE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE WHITE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE ZERO LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW.
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE NUMEROUS WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES AND 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 ABSOLUTELYCRSTAL CLEAR. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE VINYLS THAT YOU NEED TO PLAY LOUD AS IT WAS INTENDED
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BRILLIANT AND THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND, NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR CLICKS ETC
NO VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH, AND THERE IS JUST A TINY BIT OF EXTREMELY LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC LIKE STUFF HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS 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 MINUS!!!

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE BROWN COLOUR RUNS FULLY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH JUST ONE TINY SPECK OF WHITE ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE. THE BOTTOM TIP END ALSO HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING
