THE SOUGHT AFTER MONO PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC BEATLES ALBUM. YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO EVER FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS DISC
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN AND WITHOUT ANY CREASE LINES AT ALL. EVEN THE USUAL LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO A COUPLE
IT IS A VERY VERY WHITE SLEEVE NOT AT ALL LIKE SOME YELLOWED ONES YOU SEE OUT THERE-
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM SHELF WEAR, AND THE SPINE IS CLEAN HAS ALL ITS LAMINATE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS, AND THE NON LAMINATED WHITE SURFACE IS STILL PERFECTLY WHITE AND STAIN FREE
THIS IS ALSO A GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS THE EMI HANDLING INNER
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
THE RECORD
THIS DISC IS IN REALLY NICE CONDITION . STARTING WITH THE LABELS THEY HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE BLACK COLOUR AND HAVE NO MARKS, STAINS, OR WRITING ON THEM AT ALL. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS BLACK ALL THE WAY TO THE RIM AND IS TOTALLY UNWORN. LOOKING CLOSELY THERE ARE 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES TO INDICATE THAT THE LP HAS HAD A FEW VERY CAREFUL PLAYS
THE DISC ITSELF HAS RETAINED ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS BRILLIANT. THE ONLY MARK I CAN SEE IN DAYLIGHT IS ONE FINE HAIRLINE ACCROSS THE LAST TRACK OF SIDE ONE. HOWEVER PLAYING THE ALBUM REVEALS THISTO BE NON SOUNDING.
NATURALLY INTENSE ILLUMINATION WILL DISPLAY SOME VERY VERY FINE WISPY LINES, BUT THESE DO NOT SOUND AND ARE INVISIBLE IN NORMAL LIGHT
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO SIDE ONE THERE IS TOTAL SILENCE IN THE RUN IN GROOVE. AS USUAL THE MONOMIX IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THE PRODUCTION SECOND TO NONE.
EVERY LINKING GROOVE IS SILENT, AND EVERY TRACK PLAYS TO PERFECTION. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS APART FROM THE VERY ODD BIT OF STATIC AND ONE OR TWO BARELY AUDIBLE POPS
THIS LP IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC BEATLES OFFERING. NOT RARE, BUT VERY VERY HARD TO OBTAIN IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION
ONE FOR THE COLLECTORS WHO WANT THE BEST THEY CAN BUY
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
