THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.

THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED SINCE 1965

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN STUNNING CONDITION. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE, AND A FEW HANDLING LINES PLUS SOME DULL STREAKS EMBEDDED INTO THE VINYL

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 BECAUSE I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN MONO REPRODUCTION. JUST PURE FIRST PRESS MONO SOUND.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH, AND THIS IS VITAL AS SO MANY BEATLES ALBUM WERE PLAYED TO DEATH ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A TOO HEAVY STYLUS AND OR A WORN STYLUS. THIS ONE IS PERFECT AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE ARE NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER

EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS THE PRODUCER INTENDED AND BEARING IN MIND THIS ALBUM IS 50 YEARS OLD. IT IS QUITE STUNNING

THERE IS ONLY A TINY TRACE OF VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY DURING SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES, THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 4-5 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS / TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

A SUPERB VINYL THAT I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH AS EXCELLENT PLUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE, REAR UNLAMINATED FLIPBACK SURFACE

THE LAMINATE HAS A SUPERB GLOSSY SHEEN TO IT, AND THERE IS NO PEEL OR FLAKE 

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS

THERE ARE SEVEN SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE OF WHICH ONE RUNS PARTIALLY ACROSS THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THERE IS A LITTLE WEAR TO THE TOP LEFT AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIPS. THERE ARE THREE SMALL THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH THE LAMINATE RUNNING FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP, WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP LEFT AND BOTTOM RIGHT TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY MINUSCULE DENTS ON THE LEADING EDGES. ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING FULLY FROM TAPERED END TO TAPERED END, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THEM

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL  SHARP WITH SOME LIGHT BURRING TO THE LOWER SECTION

THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE. WITH A LITTLE AGEING AND HANDLING AT THE OPENING EDGE. THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL PERFECTLY ADHERED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED. NO PEN MARKS OR WRITING ON THIS SURFACE

THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO ORIGINAL . A LITTLE CREASING TO THE EDGES AND CORNERS, BUT NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS.

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

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