I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO HANDLED BOTH VINYL AND SLEEVE METICULOUSLY. INCREDIBLE ALBUMS THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEKS. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT VINTAGE VINYL IN THE SORT OF CONDITION THAT YOU COULD ONLY DREAM ABOUT..LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID, AS I HAVE RECORDED EVERY SINGLE SECOND

MY LONG STANDING SERIOUS COLLECTOR CUSTOMERS WILL APPRECIATE THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PRISTINE MUSEUM GRADE BEATLES ALBUM. NEW CUSTOMERS AS WELL IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTO COLLECTING THEN THIS MUST NOT BE PASSED UP

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.

THERE ARE JUST 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED SINCE 1964

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN STUNNING CONDITION. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NO MORE THAN A FEW BARELY VISIBLE TINY WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE AND A FEW PAPER 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 BECAUSE I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN MONO REPRODUCTION. JUST PURE FIRST PRESS MONO SOUND.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH, AND THIS IS VITAL AS SO MANY BEATLES ALBUM WERE PLAYED TO DEATH ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A TOO HEAVY STYLUS AND OR A WORN STYLUS. THIS ONE IS PERFECT AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE ARE NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS EITHER

EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS THE PRODUCER INTENDED AND BEARING IN MIND THIS ALBUM IS 52 YEARS OLD. IT IS QUITE STUNNING

THERE IS ONLY A TINY TRACE OF STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY DURING SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND ONLY WHEN YOU SIT RIGHT ON TOP OF YOUR SPEAKERS AS I DO WHILST TYPING THIS OUT. MOVING TO NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE ELIMINATES IT TOTALLY

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF INSIGNIFICANT STATIC TICS (AGAIN IN THE LINKING GROOVES) THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

A SUPERB VINYL THAT I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE NEW.

THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE, AND THE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC ONE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE LIGHT LINE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER PARALLEL WITH THE BOTTOM EDGE

HE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE LAMINATE FUNS FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP, . THE CORNER TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS JUST IMMACULATE. ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING FULLY FROM TAPERED END TO TAPERED END, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS. CLEARLY THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND PICTURES ARE TOTALLY IMMACULATE AND UNRUBBED, AND THE FLIPBACKS ARE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY ADHERED . THERE IS JUST THE ABSOLUTE BAREST TRACE OF HANDLING TO THE OPENING EDGE

THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO ORIGINAL . A LITTLE CREASING TO THE BOTTOM CORNERS  BUT NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. AND A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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