THE LABELS

THE DARK RED AND SILVER DEEP GROOVED UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND A SHARD OF RESIDUAL VINYL STILL INSIDE THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS

EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES. THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE

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 AM DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL 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 RECORD PLAYS AS NEW ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO UNWORN .

PLEASE PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND THEN YOU WILL TRULY APPRECIATE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS 1965 RECORDING TRULY IS

FIRSTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE  DEATHLY SILENT WITH JUST THE VERY ODD TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN JUST ONE OR TWO OF THEM

YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY CLICKS OR LOUD POPS ANYWHERE THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH, SHOWING ONCE AGAIN JUST HOW SPECIAL THIS ALBUM IS

WITH ALL THINGS CONSIDERED AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE STUNNING CONDITION OF THIS ALBUM I AM GOING  GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT

HERE YOU HAVE A GENUINE STONES 1ST PRESS IN THE MOST UNIMAGINABLE CONDITION POSSIBLE. DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, PLAY ALL OF THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE REAR SURFACE

I HAVE OFTEN MENTIONED JUST HOW THIN THESE EARLY STONES ALBUM SLEEVES ARE. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE QUALITY SLEEVES THAT THE BEATLES ALBUMS CAME IN IT, MAKE YOU WONDER WHY THEY DECIDED TO PUT WHAT WOULD BE VERY POPULAR RECORDS IN SLEEVES THAT COULDN'T HANDLE THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF THE VINYL

HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE A BARELY PLAYED VINYL AND THEREFORE A SERIOUSLY ABOVE AVERAGE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY CREASED ALL OVER, ON THIS COPY IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES WHATSOEVER. NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST SIX MINUSCULE ONES. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND INCREDIBLY ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, JUST A TINY ONE ON BRIANS LEFT SHOULDER

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE. THERE IS A LITTLE STAIN LINE ACROSS THE TIP OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER,WITH THE LAMINATE SMOOTH AND PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS ONLY, AND THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL. 

THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, NO PEEL OR FLAKE,  THE TAPERED ENDS ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE WHICH MORE OFTEN THAN NOT SUFFERS FROM RUBBING. ON THIS COPY THERE IS NONE WHATSOEVER. THE WHITE OUTER BORDER SHOWS JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF LIGHT AGEING

THERE IS NO RING WEAR

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, THE  CORNERS HAVE LIGHT CREASING. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
