THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL DARK APPLE LABELS LABELS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, WITH THE WHITE SIDES BEING PARTICULARLY CLEAN . THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. I CAN ONLY ONE OR TWO SMALL SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

BOTH ALBUMS HAVE RETAINED THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOK SUPERB IN DAYLIGHT. SIDE ONE HAS A COUPLE OF TINY SCUFF MARKS. THE DISCS UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION SHOW A LITTLE DULL MOTTLING IN SMALL PATCHES, AND SOME WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A FEW TINY SURFACE HANDLING LINES. NOTHING HEAVY OR DEEP. 

PLAYING THE RECORDS

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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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

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

I HAVE RECORDED THE SET IN MONO SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO IT AS IT WAS INTENDED BEFORE DECIDING TO BID

THERE IS NO DOUBT 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 LOUD CLICKS, AND ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER . THE SMALL MARKS ON SIDE ONE PRODUCE A FEW ROTATIONAL TICS DURING OBLA DI, AND A COUPLE IN BUNGALOW BILL

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH

THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL LIGHT  BACKGROUND, AND SOME RANDOM LITTLE TICS DURING THE PLAY-THROUGH, BUT THESE ARE  MINOR AND ACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE PLAY

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES, THE WHOLE ALBUM IS RECORDED FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THE DISCS SOUND LIKE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
