As a vinyl collector, I’ll always give you every descriptive detail that I would want to know if I was the customer. I’m not one of these sellers who’ll just list a vinyl and say the grading and that’s it... and most of the vinyl sellers on here just don’t have a clue anyhow (they seriously don't, I only trust a certain few dealers on here). I’ve been collecting vinyl for years and along with those years, I have gained the expertise and knowledge of how a vinyl should be cared for. So please be rest assured that you'll receive what is being described here.

All my vinyl is play-tested before listing on a high-end stereo set-up (Set-up listed later)

The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl box set of UK released Beatles LPs, remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo. Each album was pressed on virgin vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) ensuring the best sound quality possible. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet, which included splitting 'The Beatles' into 2 separate covers.

For sale here is the greatest album of all time (not just my opinion 😉) and what better way to listen to it? On Mobile Fidelity virgin JVC vinyl! The audio sounds incredible as do most of the MFSL stereo series and it's evident here on the playback. like I said.. incredible near mint pressing. Screw the nimbus 😂 why pay thousands when you can get this great version.

Side B – MFSL-1-100 B1 H 1 1 1

Vinyl Visual: Near mint

I've inspected both sides under strong LED light in all kinds of light catching angles and both sides look incredible and gleam like new. Only thing I can point out is an extremely light superficial mark that doesn't sound on the playback at all. Its on the sgt pepper reprise on side 2 but I'm being very picky here. my set-up is very sensitive and it doesn't pick it up leading me to think it's come from the pressing process instead of a mishandling mishap. I'm being highly critical here. Most wouldn't point it out.

Vinyl Audio: Near Mint

Beautiful audio playback with no issues to report back on. It plays with distinction on both sides with nice quiet run-ins.

Labels: Near mint

Both labels are in top condition with only a couple of very small spindle trail lines coming from the center hole on each side. Evidence of the vinyl barely being played.

Sleeve: Excellent

Would be near mint but I'm being critical here. There is a slight bump on the top left corner and I mean slight! most would put this near mint. Nice clean spine and edges.

Inner-Sleeve: Excellent

No split seams with only a small crease on the lower left reverse. Please see photos. Age related discolouration on the inside which is very common with these inners.

A must have for any collection. Hard to find in the UK with this playback quality. Dont miss it!

Play tested on my Rega Planar 3 RS Edition with an Ortafon 2M Black 250 LVB Cartridge installed (£800 Stylus!) 1.6 gram downward tracking force. Project Tube Box S2 pre-amp
Amp – Cambridge CXA81
Pair of Wharfedale Linton Speakers
High Quality System for accurate and safe playback.

All my vinyl is cleaned with a Project VC-S3 Record vacuum cleaning machine with Project Wash-it 2 cleaning fluid. The only way I recommend cleaning a vinyl. Never Rub wipe because all you’re doing is pushing dirt/dust deeper into the groves and potentially unnecessarily scratching yourvinyp records.

Postage and Packaging:
UK Shipping Only! Excluding Gibraltar.
I will only send via The Royal Mail Tracked.
All vinyl is packed in strong cardboard vinyl mailers with the aid of cardboard stiffeners for extra protection.

Vinyl will be separated from the original outer and inner sleeves and placed in new poly-lined inners. This is to prevent split seam damage to the original outer and inner sleeves during postage.

Payment within 4 days or your order may be cancelled. Please no serial negative feedback buyers, your order may also be cancelled.

Returns:
If you are not entirely happy with your purchase, please contact me before leaving feedback and I’ll always resolve any issue. If you want to send the item back, I’ll only pay return shipping fees if I’m at fault; I’m human after all. But if you’re sending the item back just for the sake of it, that’s a different story…you’ll have to pay the return fee. Please repack the vinyl the exact way you received it, if you return damaged goods, your return will not be accepted. Please don’t destroy the cardboard vinyl mailer upon opening because you can reuse it.
