THE RECORD

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UN-RUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE 5-6 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING VERY LIMITED PLAY IN 52 YEARS

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS MINT. THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN ON THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT, WHERE IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS ,AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, AND A FEW TINY PATCHES OF EMBEDDED DULL SPECKS (ALL NON SOUNDING OF COURSE)

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 RECORD 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

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  ISSUES WHATSOEVER. A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN RECORDING THAT PLAYS WITHOUT CLICKS, AND ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER 

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND SILENT PASSAGES ARE PERFECTLY SILENT

INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO DUST POPS, TICS OR ANY OTHER UNWANTED NOISES OF THIS TYPE

I HEARD JUST ONE SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC DURING THE ENTIRE PLAY THROUGH . BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, PLEASE PLAY THE RECORDING AND YOU WILL HEAR FOR YOURSELF THAT THIS ALBUM IS JUST PRISTINE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO MINT

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. 

I WANT TO START WITH THE FOUR CORNERS WHICH ON THIS COPY ARE ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND SQUARE. NEVER SEEN ONE WITH CORNERS THIS PERFECT. THERE IS THE TINIEST AND MOST INSIGNIFICANT  PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE

THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T BE ANY CLEANER. NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ANYWHERE

USUALLY YOU WILL FIND SOME LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, BUT ON THIS AMAZING SLEEVE THERE ARE NONE AT ALL BY THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST TWO HARD TO SPOT THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED AND SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH ALL THE WAY ACROSS BOTH SURFACES. ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL WITH THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE REAR RIGHT CORNER TIP END

THE SPINE IS JUST IMMACULATE. FIRST OF ALL ITS THE RARE WIDESPINE, AND SECONDLY IT IS TOTALLY PERFECT. THE LAMINATE IS JUST PRISTINE. SMOOTH ALL THE WAY ALONG THE SURFACE. THEN TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE UNBLEMISHED, THE LEADING EDGES ARE ALSO MINT, NO DENTS OF PRESSURE MARKS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP , WITH A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE

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. IT ALSO HAS THE SGT PEPPER CREAK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN IT

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR. LIKE THE FRONT, THERE ARE NO LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, JUST ONE LIGHT ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE

THE RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST PERFECT. FLAT, CLEAN, NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO WEAR TO THE OPENING EDGE.. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS JUST A TINY WRINKLE TO ONE OF THE BOTTOM CORNERS

THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION, HAVING NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE COVER MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS STUNNING SLEEVE MINT !!!!  THERE WILL NEVER BE A BETTER EXAMPLE ANYWHERE

IT IS THAT GOOD!!!  A TRUE MUSEUM PIECE

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