THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN.

THERE ARE JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

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 ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SEE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES,

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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

THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. 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

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY  BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO VINYL NOISE, AND JUST THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE QUIETER SPOTS. I HEARD ONLY ONE TINY LITTLE DUST POP AT THE END ON 'MICHELLE'

THIS INCREDIBLE DISC EASILY GRADES MINT/ MINT MINUS AT THE VERY WORST

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED FRONT AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK  SINGLE SLEEVE

THIS IS  THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.

THE LAMINATE SHINES WITH A DEEP LUSTRE

JUST ONE TINY LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE AND THAT'S ALL. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

ALL 4 CORNERS ARE IN UNRUBBED SQUARE CONDITION.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100 UNRUBBED AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ALL ALONG THE EDGE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE. NO WEAR TO EITHER OF THE TOP OR BOTTOM TIP ENDS, AND THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE HALF FINGER TO THUMB SQUASH

THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS REMAINED IN A MINT BRILLIANT WHITE CONDITION. EASILY STAINED AND MARKED THIS ONE ONLY HAS NO BLEMISHES TO THE WHITE AREA AT ALL, SHOWING THAT THE SLEEVE WAS HOUSED IN A PROTECTIVE OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW. THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. THERE CANNOT BE A BETTER EXAMPLE OUT THERE

THE ORIGINAL EMI POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN  NEAR MINT S CONDITION. VERY FLAT AND BARELY A WRINKLE, JUST A NUMBER NEATLY PENNED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A TOTALLY MUSEUM QUALITY EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC BEATLES ALBUM

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