I HAD THIS ON AUCTION FROM LAST NIGHT BUT HAVE PULLED IT TO RELIST AS I HAVE NOTICED SOMETHING I MISSED AT THE TIME OF LISTING

FIRSTLY I APOLOGISE TO THE TWO BODDERS WHO ARE PROBABLY WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED, BUT I HOPE YOU WILL FORGIVE ME THIS ONE TIME

THIS ALBUM HAS THE MT TAX CODE ON ISDE TWO (SEE PICTURES).

THIS CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BE BECAUSE THE MT TAX CODE FOR PARLOPHONE ALBUMS WAS SUPERCEEDED IN 1963

THIS SHOULD HAVE THE KT TAX CODE AND EVERY ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN HAS THAT. HOW THEN CAN A 1966 VINYL HAVE THE 1963 TAX CODE???

THIS IS THE REASON I HAVE PULLED THE AUCTION TO RELIST IT TODAY. EVERY OTHER DETAIL IS STILL THE SAME

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN MINT 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 TWO REALLY TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE PINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

HEAVYWEIGHT ORIGINAL PRESS THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THEOPPORTUNITY 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 FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS A CRISP CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION. THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE NOTES OR VOCALS.

THE CLARITY OF THE MONO PRESS IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENSED

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS SOME BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IN THE VERY QUIETEST PASSAGES, AND ACTUALLY I CAN ONLY HEAR IT AT ALL AS I SIT NO MORE THAN 18 INCHES FROM THE SPEAKERS AS I TYPE THIS OUT. MOVING TO NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE THEN IT IS INAUDIBLE

I HEARD 3-4 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS EXCEPTIONAL VINYL NEAR MINT!!!

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO THE LP AND JUDGE IT ON YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE. THIS SLEEVE IS ONE OF THE BEST YOU WILL FIND ANYWHERE. IT IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING ISSUE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE.NOR ARE THERE ANY SMALL CREASE LINES, OR EVEN THUMB NAIL LINES EITHER. EVEN THE SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE NUMBER JUST TWO MINISCULE ONES, AND THESE TWO ARE BARELY VISIBLE.

NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE VERY TIP OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER WHICH HAS A TINY SECK OF FLAKE. A PERFECTLY GLOSS WHITE AND BLACK SURFACE WITH NO YELLOWING APART FROM A SLIVER RUNNING DOWN THE LENGTH NEXT TO THE SPINE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT.

THE SPINE HAS THE FIRST PRESS TAPERED ENDS, AND IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE COVER.IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS THAT ARE OFTEN VISIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS AND THEY ARE ALSO PERFECTLY CLEAN.

THE VILNERABLE UNLAMINATED POWDERY BLACK SURFACE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITIION. OFTEN FOUND RUBBED THROUGH TO THE WHITE SURFACE, THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND IS IMMACULATE. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RECORD SHAPE AHYWHERE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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