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 Ringo Starr 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 Saturday 18th May with the Debut album
If you want the best copy that money can buy then look no further
RINGO STARR - RINGO'S ROTOGRAVURE
MINT AUDIO
NEAR MINT SLEEVE AND INNER
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS ONE SPIDER LINE ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
GLEAMING FIRST PRESS DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE LP STILL LOOKS PERFECT .
YOU WILL SEE IN ONE OF THE PICTURES WHAT LOOKS LIKE A HAIR OR A PIECE OF COTTON, BUT IT IS IN FACT A LONG STARND OF RESIDUAL VINYL WHICH IS STILL ATTACHED TO THE OUTER RIM
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP IS THE THAT STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION THROUGH GROOVE WEAR, WHICH OF COURSE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ON A VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED VINYL.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ANDTHE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO TICS OR POPS AND NO STATIC ANYWHERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND MAKE A JUDGEMENT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM JAMES UPTON
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION.
FIRSTLY THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE .
THE COLOURS ARE JUST PERFECT. NO RUBBING ANYWHERE WHICH IS UNUSUAL ON THIS SLEEVE
THERE ARE TWO TINY DENTS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE AND ONE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
THERE ARE NO CREASES WHATSOEVER ON THIS SURFACE EITHER, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS.
THERE ARE THREE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THREE OF THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH THE TOP LEFT HAVING THAT LITTLE DENT
THE TOP EDGES HAVE IMMACULATE COLOURS. AND THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE AS PERFECT
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR IS RUNNING FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE AND UNRUBBED ENDS. THE COLOUR IS ALSO UNFADED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THE RECORD WAS JUST NOT REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION . PERFECT COLOUR AND NO EDGE PRESSURE LINES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS.
THE PICTURE / LYRIC CARD INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ONE FOR THE FIRST PRESS. IT HAS SOME LIGHT STORAGE FOXING . THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT
