- CATALOGUE: APPLE PCS 7142

- THIS IS A FIRST EARLY PRESS
THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED IN 1971 AND RELEASED SHORTLY AFTER MCCARTNEYS SECOND ALBUM 'RAM'
IT IS THE FIRST EVER OFFERING FROM THE GROUP OF MUSICIANS WHO WOULD BECOME WINGS, AND CREATE EVEN MORE MCCARTNEY HISTORY WITH CLASSICS LIKE BAND ON THE RUN, VENUS AND MARS TO NAME BUT TWO
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. THERE IS JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
SUPERB LOOKING UNMARKED VINYL. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN A SEE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL 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 AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND WHILST THIS TAKES ME MICH LONGER TO COMPLETE, I AM CERTAIN ITS WORTH IT, AND THE WAY FORWARD FOR EBAY VINYL SALES. THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
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. THERE IS A TOUCH OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN SOME OF THE QUIETER SPOTS, AND A FEW TINY DUST POPS HERE AND THERE, SO PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE AS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL SHELF WEAR.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS BEAUTIFUL. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON IT. NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES OR BENDS, THERE ARE JUST TWO OF THE SMALL LINES THAT FORM NEAR THE SPINE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE JUST THE BAREST TOUCH OF SHELF WEAR, AND THE SPINE IS THE FIRST PRESS TAPERED ENDED SPINE WHICH IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE.AGAIN WITH JUST A TRACE OF SHELF WEAR
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 MOSTLY WHITE BUT DOES HAVE A VERY LIGHT TINGE OF HANDLING, ALONG THE PERIMETER EDGES. THIS SLEEVE WAS MADE OF VERY STIFF CARD, BUT SLIGHTLY MORE POROUS THAN MOST
THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL AND IS IN EXCELLENT UNSPLIT CONDITION, AND THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
