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.

Here is The Beatles - A Hard Days Night MFSL Original Master Recording vinyl from the 1982 MFSL box set. The audio is Near Mint on playback. A hard day's night on stereo has always had a reputation of not sounding the best it could but MFSL has worked it's magic here and brightened the songs up.

Matrix Numbers:
Side A – MFSL-1-103-A5 H 1 5 2
Side B – MFSL-1-103-B5 H 1 5 1

Vinyl Visual: Near Mint

I've inspected the vinyl under strong LED light at all sorts of angles and I can confidently say that I cannot see a mark on it. Gleams like new.

Vinyl Audio: Near Mint

Nice quiet run-ins as you'd expect on JVC virgin vinyl from Japan. They're simply the quietest vinyl I've ever had the joy of listening too. The background noise is almost none existent and my set-up is very sensitive. Sounds fantastic throughout. No issues to report back on.

Labels: Side 1 NM - Side 2 VG due to ink fingerprint.

The side one label is in great condition with only 1-2 spindle lines. Side 2 however appears to have an ink fingerprint mark around the center hole and tracklisting where someone has had a inky finger 😅 unusual but it's there. Please see photo. Again only 1-2 spindle lines. Hardly played

Sleeve: Near Mint

The sleeve is in great condition with no split seams or corner bumps. Nice clear spine. please see photos.

Inner-Sleeve: VG

Again as stated in the labels section.. someone has had ink in their fingers and you can see where his fingers have been on the inner (please see photos for the black finger marks) discolouration on the inside but very common due to the age. They even got black finger marks on the MFSL polythene sleeve (please see photos)

But please don't be put of by the ink finger marks. The vinyl audio is a gorgeous listen with no issues at all.

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

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.
