The Beatles Abbey Road MFSL Original Master Recording Vinyl From The Box Set NM

As a vinyl collector, I’ll always give you every descriptive detail that I would want to know if I was the customer. I’m not one of these sellers who’ll just list a vinyl and say the grading and that’s it... and most of the vinyl sellers on here just don’t have a clue anyhow (they seriously don't, I only trust a certain few dealers on here). I’ve been collecting vinyl for years and along with those years, I have gained the expertise and knowledge of how a vinyl should be cared for. So please be rest assured that you'll receive what is being described here.

All my vinyl is play-tested before listing on a high-end stereo set-up (Set-up listed later)

The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl box set of UK released Beatles LPs, remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo. Each album was pressed on virgin vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) ensuring the best sound quality possible. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet, which included splitting 'The Beatles' into 2 separate covers.

For sale here is The Beatles Abbey Road MFSL pressing from the 1982 Mobile Fidelity box set in Near mint condition and barely played vinyl. The sound is phenomenal with no audio issues at all. It's a real beauty. getting harder to find in the UK

Vinyl Visual: Near Mint

I've inspected both sides under strong LED light at all kinds of light catching angles and both sides gleam like new. Side 2 just has a couple of non-sounding superficial hairlines that 100% do not sound. Even on my highly sensitive system that picks up everything. I think its more of the pressing process than a misuse of handling. Most wouldn't even point it out. Really solid visual

Vinyl Audio: Near Mint

A real joy to listen. Both sides play like new with nice quiet run-ins. One of the best pressings of the set audio wise. You will not be disappointed.

Labels: Near Mint

Both labels are in top condition with only 1 tiny spindle trail line from the center hole. A clear indication that's it's barely been played and stored for all these years.

Sleeve: Excellent+

The sleeve is in great condition. There's just a bit a paper fluffing at the lower right corner but I'm being critical here. No split seams either and minimal if any wear.

Inner-Sleeve: Excellent

Looks to be in great condition with no split seams. Just the usual age related discolouration that you get with these cardboard inners.

A fantastic copy of the Beatles last album ever recorded. It doesn't get better than this. MFSL did a brilliant job with this one. Beautiful sound.

All my vinyl is cleaned with a Project VC-S3 Record vacuum cleaning machine with Project Wash-it 2 cleaning fluid. The only way I recommend cleaning a vinyl. Never Rub wipe because all you’re doing is pushing dirt/dust deeper into the groves and potentially unnecessarily scratching your vinyl records.

Postage and Packaging:
UK Shipping Only! Excluding Gibraltar.
I will only send via The Royal Mail Tracked.
All vinyl is packed in strong cardboard vinyl mailers with the aid of cardboard stiffeners for extra protection.

Vinyl will be separated from the original outer and inner sleeves and placed in new poly-lined inners. This is to prevent split seam damage to the original outer and inner sleeves during postage.

Payment within 4 days or your order may be cancelled. Please no serial negative feedback buyers, your order may also be cancelled.

Returns:
If you are not entirely happy with your purchase, please contact me before leaving feedback and I’ll always resolve any issue. If you want to send the item back, I’ll only pay return shipping fees if I’m at fault; I’m human after all. But if you’re sending the item back just for the sake of it, that’s a different story…you’ll have to pay the return fee. Please repack the vinyl the exact way you received it, if you return damaged goods, your return will not be accepted. Please don’t destroy the cardboard vinyl mailer upon opening because you can reuse it.
