THE RECORD

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL BLACK AND SILVER 2 BOX LABELS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND SILVER LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST WHY THIS SUPERB VINYL IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT

THE TEST PLAY

THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.

 MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALBUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL IS FLAWLESS!!!

GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. AND NO VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES

I DON'T BELIEVE I EVEN HEARD ANY DUST POPS THOUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

IF YOU WANT A REALLY STUNNING COPY OF BEATLES FOR SALE BUY, THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN TO THIS COPY

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO MINT 

THE SLEEVE

OF ALL THE BEATLES ALBUMS, THIS SLEEVE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE HARDEST TO FIND IN REAL TOP CONDITION. ENTIRELY DUE TO THE FLIMSY DESIGN AND THE WAY IN WHICH THE LP WAS HOUSED INSIDE THE SLEEVE. THE VAST MAJORITY OF COPIES WILL HAVE CREASED FRONT SURFACE/FOLDOVERS, DAMAGED SPINES, TORN INNER POCKET, AND RINGWEAR ON THE REAR SURFACE

THIS MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE HAS ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!

SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. IT HAS BEEN HOUSED FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE INSIDE A PROTECTIVE OUTER SLEEVE AND THIS HAS STOPPED ANY CREASING TO THE SURFACE . IT IS USUAL TO FIND THIS THIN FLAP CREASED ACROSS CORNERS WHERE THE FLIMSY PIECE OF CARD HAS BEEN ACCIDENTALLY BENT OR FOLDED

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. AS MENTIONED THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE CORNERS ARE TOTALLY SQUARE

THEREARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE.NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE SMALL THUMB LINE ON RINGO'S HEAD 

THERE IS ALSO A VERY SMALL SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT BY GEORGES CHIN ON THE SPINE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND WHICH OFTEN LOSES THE LAMINATE, BUT THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE RIGHT HAD EDGE IS ALSO 100% FULLY LAMINATED AND UNBLEMISHED 

THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND INCREIBLY NO RECORD SHAPE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS JUST HOW SUPERB THIS SLEEVE IS, AND WHY IT IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS. MOST COPIES HAVE DAMAGED INNER SPINES, OR AT LEAST NICKS TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE WAY THE RECORD IS HOUSED BY INSERTING IT FROM THE SPINE INTO THE INNER POCKET. AS THIS IS SUCH A TIGHT FIT, IT IS ALL TO EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY NICK THE POCKET EDGE AND TEAR IT, BUT FAR MORE LIKELY IS THE FACT THAT UNLESS THE LP IS FULLY HOUSED INSIDE THE POCKET, CLOSING THE GATEFOLD OFTEN RESULTED IN ANY EXCESS VINYL PROTRUDING FROM THE SLEEVE TO ACT LIKE A BLUNT KNIFE AND OVER TIME DAMAGED THE SPINE.

THIS SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY UNBLEMISHED/ NO ONE SPECK OF DAMAGE TO THE SPINE, NOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE INNER POCKET. ABSOLUTELY MINT!!!!

THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO PRISTINE, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE TO EITHER INNER SURFACE

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND A CLEANER AND BETTER EXAMPLE

THE ORIGINAL ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT MINUS CONDITION.BARELY A WRINKLE AND TOTALLY WHITE AND UNSPLIT, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

IT WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING AND IS TRULY AN INVESTMENT GRADE CONDITION

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