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 ABOUT 10 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THE LIMITED PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN ON THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT,APART FROM ONE SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINE ON THE INTRO TO SIDE ONE,AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTESNE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN

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. I AM CERTAIN THAT BIDDERS WILL WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

INCREDIBLE MONO REPRODUCTION

WHAT I HAVE FOUND OVER THE YEARS IS THAT A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF BEATLES ALBUMS WERE PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS EITHER WORN OR TOO HEAVY RESULTING IN DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, USUALLY WHEN I AM LISTENING TO THEM THERE IS AN IRRITATING NOISE COMING FROM ONE SPEAKER ONLY WHERE THE STYLUS HAS WORN ONE SIDE OF THE GROOVE. WELL THIS ONE HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM AND PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

THERE IS NO DOUNT THAT A MONO PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IS NOTHING SHORT OF SUPERB!! PRESSED LOUDLY EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED

THE ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY MAJOR ISSUES WHATSOEVER. A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN RECORDING THAT PLAYS WITHOUT CLICKS OR POPS FOR THAT MATTER

THERE IS SOME LIGHT VINYL NOISE HEARD IF AT ALL IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND THE VERY QUIETEST PASSAGES. SHES LEAVING HOME ALSO HAS SOME VERY LIGHT STUFF WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD WHEN YOU SIT AS CLOSE TO THE SPEAKERS AS I DO WHEN TYPING THIS OUT

MY ADVICE TAKE A SEAT AND LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB RECORDING AT YOUR NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP EXCELLENT PLUS 

THE SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE RANKS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BEST COPIES EVER. IT IS IN STAGGERING ORIGINAL AND PRISTINE CONDITION

FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES, AND NO BENDS ETC.

THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MRROR AND HAS NO BLEMISHES TO IT AT ALL. THERE ISN'T EVEN ONE OF THOSE THUMB LINES YOU GET NEAR THE OPENING EDGE WHERE PRESSURE HAS BEEN PLACED ON IT WHILST REMOVING THE VINYL

INCREDIBLY THERE ARE JUST THREE ALMOST INVISIBLE AND TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE

THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS THE TINIEST DING TO IT

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER

THE SPINE IS IN SUPERB UNDAMAGED CONDITION. FIRSTLY ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.THERE ARE NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR OPENING EDGE IS IN MINT RAZOR SHARP CONDITION, WHILST THE FRONT ONE HAS A COUPLE OF SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD, REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS WITH PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR  THERE ARE 3 SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND TWO MORE SMALL LINES ON THE MAIN SURFACE, BARELY NOTICABLE. ONE NEAR THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND THE OTHER BOTTOM RIGHT

THE RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT. FLAT, CLEAN, NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO WEAR TO THE OPENING EDGE.JUST A LIGHT BIT OF RECORD SHAPE.

THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS STUNNING SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!

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