THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK STEREO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE LOIGHT RUBBED SPINDLE HOLE, 

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE LIGHT SURFACE HANDLING LINE (NON SOUNDING)

PLAYING THE RECORD

WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE  INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON

THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS

 THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. 

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE. 

THE EARLY STEREO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE. MANY MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL HAS NONE OF THAT

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS SOME LIGHT EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN THE LINKING GROOVES. MORE THAT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SIDE THAN AT THE END

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. 

I ALSO HEARD A FEW RANDOM LITTLE TICS DURING THE PLAY

A WORD ABOUT 'MICHELLE' THIS TRACK HAS A HISTORY OF SOUNDING TERRIBLE EVEN WHERE THE REST OF THE VINYL PLAYS PERFECTLY. 

THIS VERSION ON THIS ALBUM PLAYS VIRTUALLY FLAWLESSLY, WITH JUST THE LIGHEST AND OCCASIONAL BITS OF VINYL NOISE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS  DISC

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS EX+

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS, BUT DOES HAVE SOME CREASE LINES ON THE RIGHT HALF OF THE IMAGE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE ARE  EIGHT LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . SEVEN ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND FIVE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH PERFECT CORNERS. THE BOTTOM EDGE SIMILAR WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP

THE SPINE IS PERFECT. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND UNDAMAGED. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNWORN. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO SQUASHING TO THE SPINE WHATSOEVER, IT'S 

THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS REMAINED IN VERY CLEAN CONDITION. 

THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE DELICATE BLACK AREAS, WHILST THE WHITE SURFACE IS UNBLEMISHED AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE VERY MANY SIGNS OF HANDLING AND AGEING.
