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. I CAN ONLT SEE 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW CAREFULLY THIS ALBUM WAS HANDLED WHEN PLAYING IT
THE VINYL
REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN ON THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT,AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTESNE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF HANDLING LINES AND A SONE VERY TINY 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 RECENTLY DECIDED TO RECORD ALL OF MY ALBUMS THAT I LIST FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CERTAIN THAT BIDDERS WILL WELCOME THIS MOVE 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
THE ONLY VINYL NOISE TO BE HEARD IS THE OCCASIONAL BIT DURING THE LINKING GROOVES AND ONCE OR TWICE A LITTLE STATIC LIKE NOISE DURING THE VERY QUIETEST OF PASSAGES, BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, THATS WHY THE LP HAS BEEN RECORDED. LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF BEFORE PLACING YOUR BID
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP MINT MINUS
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 PRESSEURE HAS BEEN PLACED ON IT WHILST REMOVING THE VINYL
INCREDIBLY THERE ARE JUST TWO ALMOST INVISIBLE AND TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER
THE SPINE IS ONE OF THOSE WITH THE SEAM LINE RUNNING DOWN THE MIDDLE. AT FIRST GLANCE IT LOOKS SQUASHED, BUT IN FACT IT ISN'T. IT IS HOW THIS THINNEST OF ALL THE PEPPR SPINES WAS MADE. WHAT IS VITAL IS THAT ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS 100% INTACT AND HAS NOT CRACKED OR FLAKED. THE RESON FOR THIS RARITY IS TO BE FOUND WHEN OPENING THE GATEFOLD (SEE BELOW)
IN ADDITION ALL OF THE DELICATE BALCK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A TINY THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE EDGE TP SHOW THAT THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD, OR SHOULD I SAY HALF OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AND ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. IF YOU STUDY THE PICTURE I HAVE PLACED HERE OF THE OPEN GATEFOLD YOU WILL SEE THAT IT WILL NOT OPEN OUT FULLY AND LAY FLAT. THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE SPINE IS SO IMMACULATE. THE NON OPENING OF THE GATEFOLD WAS COMMON TO ALL COPIES, AND MOST OWNERS JUST FORCED IT FLAT, WHICH CRACKED THE LAMINATE OF THE SPINE IN MOST CASES, BUT HERE IS ONE IN TOTALLY ORIGINAL AND PRISTINE CONDITION
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR. 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 EDGE AND THE OTHERA COUPLE OF INCHES ABOVE RINGO'S HEAD
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 ONE LITTLE CORNER CREASE LINE
THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS STUNNING SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
