THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THERE IS ONE SMALL SCRATCH LINE ON SIDE ONE AND A TINY CHIP JUST NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN.
THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN SMALL SPIDER LINES 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 A FEW LITTLE WISPS AND A TINY SUPERFICAIL HANDLING LINE OR TWO
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
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THERE IS THE VERY ODD SECOND OF STATIC WHICH CAN BARELY BE HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES,AND THREE SMALL DUST POPS IN THE LINKING GROOVE FOLLOWING IT'S ONLY LOVE ON SIDE 2
THIS LP PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS GRADE WITHOUT A DOUBT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN YOURSELF AND IN PARTICULAR LISTEN TO 'YESTERDAY' WHICH HAS A HISTORY OF DISTORTION AND SOUNDING POOR, BUT NOT ON THIS ONE. YOU BE THE JUDGE!
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH CAN YELLOW BADLY HAS ON THIS COPY IS NOT AN ISSUE. IT IS VERY VERY WHITE INDEED
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THERE ARE JUST THREE REALY TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ANOTHER PLUS IS THAT THERE ARE NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE LIKE ALOT OF COPIES.
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND ALL 4 CORNERS ARE IN UNRUBBED SQUARE CONDITION.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. HAS THE TAPERED AND WHICH OFTEN LOOSE THE LAMINATE, BUT THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND VERY FLAT. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT
THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS REMAINED IN A VERY WHITE CONDITION. EASILY STAINED AND MARKED THIS ONE ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT BROWN PATCHES NEXT THE THE SPINE JUST OVER RINGO'S HEAD, AND A MINISCULE BIT OF HANDLING NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, THE REST IS JUST PERFECT/ THE LAMINATED FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO PRISTINE.
