THIS ALBUM IS PART OF A HUGE BEATLES COLLECTION THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEKS. A LARGE PROPORTION OF THEM ARE UNPLAYED OR ONCE PLAYED MINT ALBUMS, AND ALL THE BIG VOLUMES ARE THERE. ALL OF THE SOLO ALBUMS AND ALL IN ABSOLUTELY THE BEST CONDITION POSSIBLE. PROBABLY A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT A GENUINE 1970'S BEATLES SOLO ALBUM IN MINT CONDITION. MINT VINYL WITH A MINT SLEEVE

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE 2 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I AM UNABLE TO SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE

THE VINYL

IMMACULATE AS NEW GLEAMING HEAVYWEIGHT DISC. THIS COULD NOT LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THE SURFACE ANYWHERE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM SOME REALLY WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE  OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES 

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, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS. 

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS AS CLEAR AND CLEAN AS A BELL, AND THIS ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC HEARD VERY OCCASIONALLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I AM CERTAIN THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP MINT MINUS!!! 

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION. . THE FRONT SURFACE IS BEAUTIFUL. IT IS PRINTED ON A VERY HEAVY CARD  AND THUS PRONE TO RINGWEAR AND SEVERE RUBBING. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON IT, APART FROM ONE TINY SPECK OF COLOUR MISSING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.

THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, JUST SOME VERY LIGHT RUBBING TO THE RIGHT TIP END.

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME LIGHT RUBBING TO PATCHES ALONG THE LENGTH

THE SPINE HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED EDGES, AND IS 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. THE WHITE SURFACE IS VERY SLIGHTLY AGED, BUT ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS STILL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE ONCE AGAIN IS ' AS NEW' RAZOR SHARP, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER!!

THE REAR SURFACE IS  STILL VERY WHITE WITH SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES WHERE THERE IS SOME LIGHT GREYING TO THE SURFACE

THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE ONCE AGAIN SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED, AS IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND TOTALLY UNSPLIT.A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE SEAMS, AND A PENNED NUMBER IN ONE TOP CORNER

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT MINUS!!!!

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