THIS LP AND SLEEVE IS IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE. I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT RINGO'S MOST POULAR ALBUM SHOULD REMAIN UNPLAYED. AND TO HAVE THIS VERY FRAGILE SLEEVE IN MINT CONDITION CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING. THE LP HAS JUST BEEN STORED AWAY INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW.

SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET AN ABSOLUTE GEM HERE

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE PICTURES AND COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. . THERE ARE NO  SPIDER LINES AT ALL NEAR THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED. I.E NEVER!! THERE ARE MANY WISPY VINYL RESIDUE HAIRS INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE FALLEN OFF IF THIS HAD BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, IT LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID WHEN IT WAS FIRST PRESSED IN 1973

EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM THE VERY ODD WISP. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST COPY OF THIS LP YOU WILL EVER COME ACCROSS IN MY OPINION

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.

TO FIND ANY UNPLAYED LP IS RARE BUT A BEATLES SOLO LP, JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. I HAD TO PLAY IT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE POTENTIAL BIDDERS THE CHANCE TO HEAR JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS VINYL IS. I HAVE OF COURSE BEEN EXTEMELY CAREFUL WHEN PLACING THE STYLUS ONTO THE SURFACE OF THIS MINT VINYL

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, INCLUDING THE RUN IN'S, THE RUN OUT'S AND THE LINKING GROOVES AS I WNATED TO BEABLE TO SHOW THIS SUPERB ALBUM OFF IN IT'S ENTIRETY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMOSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.THE CLARITY OF THE STERERO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS. IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A STUNNING AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM THE VINYL.

NO BACKGROUND NOISES OR CLICKS, NO DISTORTION, AND NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF STATIC, JUST PERHAPS 2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGHT THE ENTIRE PLAY. I CAN ONLY GIVE THIS THE HIGHEST COLLECTIBLE GRADE POSSIBLE. IT IS THAT GOOD!!

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!

THE SLEEVE

ALONG WITH THE INCREDIBLE VINYL, COMES A SLEEVE THAT MATCHES IT IN ITS SUPERBNESS (IS THAT A WORD?)

THE UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD IS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION AND THAT IS SIMPLY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE FROM NEW

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN, AND ALL OF THE DELICATE COLURS HAVE BEEN PRESERVED AND REMAIN UNRUBBED. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. NOR ARE THERE ANY ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES

FINALLY NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN THE SLIGHTEST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE. IT IS THAT GOOD!!!

THE TOP EDGE IS UNWORN WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS JUST A FEW TINY PINPRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH

THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST SUPERB. ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE VERY BOTTOM TIP WHICH SOWS MINISCULE RUBBING. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP AND SLEEVE HAS REMAINED IN THE CONDITION IT HAS

IT IS ALSO WORTH POINTING AGAIN OUT THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE ON EITHER FRONT OF BACK SURFACES.

OPENING THE GLATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS, AGAIN WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS UNRUBBED.

THE ORIGINAL LYRIC  INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT ORIGINAL UNSPLIT CONDITION. THE DELICATE AND POROUS SURFACE HAS JUSTA  COUPLE OF TINY MOTTLES ON IT, BUT ALL OF THE EDGES ARE UNSPLIT, AND THE TOP EDGE WITH THE THUMB NOTCH IS UNDAMAGED. FINALLY NO CREASES TO THIS INNER

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS

YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO UPGRADE FROM THIS VAULT COPY OF THIS SUPERB 1973 FIRST PRESS

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