THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK RED AND SILVER UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE ONE AND 2-3 ON SIDE TWO, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS. STUNNING FISRT ISSUE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL. NO VISIBLE MARKS OR SCRATCHES AND NO SCUFFS OR DULL PATCHES

WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES ON SIDE ONE, AND ON SIDE TWO THERE ARE A FEW MORE AND A COUPLE FO SURFACE (NON SOUNDING ) HANDLING LINES. JUST PROVING HOW INCREDIBLE 60'S VINYL WAS THAT THERE COULD BE A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE LINES AND STILL SOUNDING ABSOLUTELY PERFECT

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 DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL 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

THE RECORD PLAYS AS NEW ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO UNWORN .

PLEASE PLAY THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AND THEN YOU WILL TRULY APPRECIATE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS 1965 RECORDING TRULY IS

FIRSTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE MAINLY DEATHLY SILENT WITH JUST THE VERY ODD TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN JUST ONE OR TWO OF THEM

YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY CLICKS OR LOUD POPS ANYWHERE THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH, SHOWING ONCE AGAIN JUST HOW SPECIAL THIS ALBUM IS

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY STATIC TICS OR DUST POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH 

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO SKIPS OR STICKS

WITH ALL THINGS CONSIDERED AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE STUNNING CONDITION OF THIS ALBUM I AM GOING TO STICK MY NECK OUT AND GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT, CERTAINLY MINT MINUS AT THE VERY LOWEST GRADE.

HERE YOU HAVE A GENUINE STONES 1ST PRESS IN SUPERB CONDITION POSSIBLE. SOUNDING ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT FROM STAR TO FINISH.

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, PLAY ALL OF THE ALBUM AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE CLOUT AND BAKER SINGLE SLEEVE

I HAVE OFTEN MENTIONED JUST HOW THIN THESE EARLY STONES ALBUM SLEEVES ARE. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE QUALITY SLEEVES THAT THE BEATLES ALBUMS CAME IN IT, MAKE YOU WONDER WHY THEY DECIDED TO PUT WHAT WOULD BE VERY POPULAR RECORDS IN SLEEVES THAT COULDN'T HANDLE THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF THE VINYL

HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE A BARELY PLAYED VINYL AND THEREFORE A BARELY HANDLED SLEEVE WHICH IS IN THE MOST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION POSSIBLE

THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY CREASED ALL OVER, ON THIS COPY IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE  LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES WHATSOEVER. NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST FIVE MINUSCULE ONES. FOUIR TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR EQUALLY SMALL ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE VERY LIGHT THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OTHER THAN A PIN PRICK ON THE RIGHT TIP END, WITH THE LAMINATE PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL. BOTH HAVE ULTRA SMOOTH SURFACES TO THE TOUCH AALL THE WAY ACROSS

THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, NO PEEL OR FLAKE,  THE TAPERED ENDS ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE WHICH MORE OFTEN THAN NOT SUFFERS FROM RUBBING. ON THIS COPY THERE IS NONE WHATSOEVER. THE WHITE OUTER BORDER SHOWS JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF NATURAL HANDLING

THERE IS THE ABSOLUTE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, THE BOTTOM TWO CORNERS HAVE LIGHT CREASING. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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