THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. I CAN  MAKE OUT 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE RECORD

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN STUNNING CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND AS NEW. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY LINES. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE COPY OF THIS ALBUM!

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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THIS IS EASILY THE BEST SOUNDING COPY OF THIS ALBUM I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF LISTING

THIS LIKE ALL EARLY BEATLES ALBUMS CAN SOUND DREADFUL DUE TO THE HEAVY CARTRIDGES AND STYLUS THAT WERE USED ON THEM BACK IN THE DAY. ALSO A WORD ABOUT STEERING CLEAR OF RECORDS THAT HAVE BEEN PLAYED ON A PLAYER USING AN AUTOCHANGER. THEY ARE DEAD EASY TO TELL BECAUSE THE SPINDLE HOLE IS WORN AND A LARGE WHITE CIRCLE OF WEAR APPEARS AROUND IT, WHERE THEY HAVE RUBBED AGAINST THE AUTOCHANGE SPINDLE

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN STEREO REPRODUCTION. 

THE VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

FOR THOSE THAT ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS ALBUM, YOU WILL KNOW THAT ONE OF THE TRACKS 'TIL I MET YOU' IS VERY VULNERABLE AND MOST COPIES WILL SOUND DISTORTED ON THIS PARTICULAR SONG. THIS COPY HOWEVER IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS SONG, AND EVERY OTHER ONE AS WELL FOR THAT MATTER

YOU WILL  OT HEAR ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE. THERE IS NO CRACKLING, NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES, AND I HEARD JUST TWO MINUSCULE DUST POPS (AGAIN ONLY IN THE LINKING GROOVES) THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE THE SOUND QUALITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT, AND CONSIDERING IT'S 53 YEARS I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE STICK MY NECK OUT AND GRADE THIS WONDERFUL VOLUME MINT!!!  IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD MINT MINUS IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE ULTRA PICKY

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS ALBUM FOR YOURSELF AND I SURE YOU WILL BE IN FULL AGREEMENT WITH ME.

IT'S A CHANCE THAT DOESN'T COME UP VERY OFTEN TO BE ABLE TO LOCATE AND OBTAIN A CLASSIC BEATLES STEREO PRESS IN SUCH ' AS NEW ' CONDITION

THE SLEEVE

THIS COPY HAS THE VERY RARE E.J.DAY SLEEVE. THE MOST NOTICEABLE THING ABOUT THIS SLEEVE WHEN CLOSELY EXAMINED IS THE FACT THE THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL IN TEXTURE TO THE RARE PLEASE PLEASE ME SLEEVE ALSO MADE BY E.J.DAY. THESE SLEEVES WERE REPLACED SHORTLY AFTER PRODUCTION WITH THE MORE COMMON AND SMOOTHER FINISHED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE ONES

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES . THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF GETTING VERY CREASED VERY EASILY, BUT THIS ONE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT

THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE COVER, AND NO RINGWEAR EITHER WHICH THIS SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS FROM. NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE OTHER THAN A LIGHT PRESSURE POINT IN THE TOP RIGHT AREA, WHICH MOST COPIES WILL SHOW, BUT NOT THIS ONE

THERE ARE JUST THREE SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO MINUSCULE ONES  ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND HALF A DOZEN ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE WHICH IS ALSO A RARITY.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS THERE AND FULLY RUNS  FROM CORNER TO CORNER UNBLEMISHED.

THE SPINE IS STILL FULLY LAMINATED. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS A TINY NICK TO THE PAPER RIGHT AT THE TOP TIP WHICH IS VISIBLE IN THE PICTURES I HAVE POSTED.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH A LITTLE LIGHT BURRING IN THE MIDDLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE. AND VERY UNUSUALLY THERE IS  NO GRUBBINESS TO THIS POROUS SURFACE, JUST A LIGHT SPECK OF HANDLING / MARK TO THE OPENING EDGE IN THE MIDDLE. NO PEN MARKS EITHER.

THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL PERFECTLY STUCK IN PLACE.

THE ORIGINAL EMI ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB  CONDITION. NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT EITHER. A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER CREASES. A GREAT EXAMPLE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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