I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL SOME OF MY OWN PERSONAL BEATLES COLLECTION. THESE ALBUMS THAT I WILL BE OFFERING UP FOR AUCTION OVER THE NEXT 10 DAYS OR SO HAVE SAT IN MY COLLECTION FOR YEARS AND IT HAS TAKEN ME MANY MANY YEARS TO GATHER THE BEST COPIES OF THESE RECORDS THAT I CAN FIND. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE REGULARLY BOUGHT FROM ME WILL UNDERSTAND THAT I ONLY LIST RECORDS THAT ARE NEAR MINT OR MINT AND THAT IN THE MAIN INCLUDES ANY BEATLES ALBUMS THAT I LIST FROM TIME TO TIME. YOU CAN THEREFORE BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THESE ALBUMS THAT YOU WILL FIND UNDER MY NAME FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, AND WILL BE COPIES THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN.

YOU MIGHT ASK WHY I AM SELLING. WELL FIRSTLY I AM NOT SELLING MY ENTIRE COLLECTION, AS I HAVE MANY PRESSES OF EACH TITLE, BUT I AM CHERRY PICKING SOME OF THE RARER AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER PRESSES BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING I WANT TO BUY THAT SELLING THESE GEMS WILL FUND.

THERE WILL BE SOME SUPERB COPIES UP FOR GRABS OVER THIS PERIOD WHICH WILL START TODAY AND CULMINATE ON TUESDAY 29TH WHEN I WILL BE LISTING MY MOST VALUABLE ALBUM THE BEATLES WHITE ALBUM 0000041 MONO. IF ANYONE WANTS TO MAKE ME A SENSIBLE OFFER ON THE WHITE ALBUM BEFORE I LIST IT THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE.

I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THESE ALBUMS WILL BE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY POSSIBLE, AND THEREFORE I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE IF THE DESCRIPTIONS SOUND SIMILAR, IT'S REALLY BECAUSE THE RECORDS ALL ARE OF A SIMILAR QUALITY NEAR MINT OR MINT. I WILL OF COURSE DESCRIBE IN DETAIL THE SLEEVES, AND ANY MINOR DEFECTS THAT ARE VISIBLE.

SO GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO FOR ANY OF THESE. I WILL BE SORRY TO PART WITH THEM, BUT AS I SAY I WANT SOMETHING ELSE THAT REQUIRES ME TO DO THIS.

A spectacular 1st pressing of this classic beatles album, in truly magnificent condition.

THE RECORD

THE LABELS ARE MAGNIFICENT.THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR AT ALL , AND IT IS CLEAR JUST BY LOOKING FOR THE SPIDER LINES THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED FEWER THAN 3 TIMES.  . I KNOW I HAVE ONLY EVER PLAYED IT ONE TIME IN THE 15 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT.

THE VINYL IS SIMPLY STUNNING AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN YOU MAKE OUT A COUPLE OF REALLY LIGHT WISPY  LINES

GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO SIDE ONE, THERE IS TOTAL RUN IN SILENCE!

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND ON ANY TRACK OF THIS ALBUM, AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ALBUM THAT SHOWED GROOVE WEAR IN MY COLLECTION. THIS OF COURSE WOULD HAVE BEEN OBTAINED IF THE RECORD HAD BEEN SUBJECTED TO A HEAVY OR WORN STYLUS.

THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THOUGH BOTH SIDES PRODUCING THE CLEAREST POSSIBLE SOUND QUALITY FROM THIS MAGNIFICENT VINYL. THERE IS AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, AND AGAIN THIS IS SOMETHING I JUST WOULD NOT ACCEPT IN MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION.

EACH LINKING GROOVE ONCE AGAIN PROVES JUST HOW SPECIAL THIS ALBUM IS AS EACH TIME ONE TRACK ENDS THERE IS A SILENT GAP BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW TRACK.

 IF I AM BEING PICKY THERE IS PERHAPS THE ODD AND I DO MEAN ODD BIT OF NEAR INAUDIBLE STATIC, WHICH YOU ARE GOING TO GET ON ANY DISC LET ALONE ONE THAT'S NEARLY 40 YEARS OLD,

TO SUM UP A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF A VERY RARE BEATLES PRESSING THAT WILL GRACE ANY COLLECTION, AND FULLY JUSTIFIES  A MINT  GRADE

THE SLEEVE

YOU WILL NEVER EVER FIND A BETTER SLEEVE THAN THIS ONE, AND ITS THE RARE E.J.DAY SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN MINT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. THIS IS ALMOST AN IMPOSSIBLE FEAT TO ACHIEVE BUT HERE IT IS.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THE SPINE IS FLAT CLEAN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY VERY SHARP AND ADEQUATELY DEPICTS HOW FEW TIMES THE RECORD HAS ACTUALLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.IN FACT PROBABLY NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER

THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION . THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN ON THIS GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE COVER. FINALLY THE WHITE SURFACE IS A MAGNIFICENT WHITE!!!

THE ONLY THING IS THE ORIGINAL PRICE OF 32/- (SHILLINGS) WAS BEEN NEATLY INKED ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. TO ME THIS IS NOT A BLEMISH BUT ACTUALLY AN ENDORSEMENT OF ITS AGE.

IN ADDITION THERE IS A MINT PARLOPHONE FLYER WHICH WAS INSERTED INTO THE SLEEVE AND SHOWS WHAT ELSE WAS AVAILABLE FROM THEM. IT INCLUDES "WITH THE BEATLES"

IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT A MINT SLEEVE

GOOD LUCK
