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 NEAR PRISTINE ORIGINAL BEATLES ALBUM. NEW CUSTOMERS AS WELL IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTO COLLECTING THEN THIS MUST NOT BE PASSED UP

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN.

 THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SEE A FEW LITTLE WISPS SOME EMBEDDED AND TOTALLY NON SOUNDING DULLISH STREAKS

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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

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

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. THERE IS THE VERY ODD SECOND OF STATIC WHICH CAN BARELY BE HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES,AND NO DUST POPS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE. AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

THIS LP PLAYS TO A MINT  GRADE WITHOUT A DOUBT. I SUPPOSE IF YOU WERE BEING REALLY PICKY THEM YOU MIGHT SAY MINT MINUS, BUT THIS 51 YEAR OLD ALBUM IS SERIOUSLY AS GOOD AS IT GETS I BELIEVE

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN YOURSELF AND IN PARTICULAR LISTEN TO 'YESTERDAY' WHICH HAS A HISTORY OF DISTORTION AND SOUNDING POOR, BUT NOT ON THIS ONE. YOU BE THE JUDGE!

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS HIGHLY POLISHED UNBLEMISHED LAMINATE. THE SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF YELLOWING BADLY UNDER THE LAMINATE. THIS COPY HAS JUST A LIGHT SHADOW AROUND THE EDGES ONLY

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THERE IS JUST TWO SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE,AND THERE ARE NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE LIKE ALOT OF COPIES.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. THERE IS A TINY NICK TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. HAS THE TAPERED AND WHICH OFTEN LOOSE THE LAMINATE, BUT THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND VERY FLAT. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT. THERE IS A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE VERY TOP TIP

THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS REMAINED IN A VERY WHITE CONDITION. EASILY STAINED AND MARKED THIS ONE ONLY HAS A LIGHT SHADOW AF AGEING AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES. THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL PERFECTLY ADHERED, AND THE TYPEFACE REMAINS IN UNRUBBED CONDITION.

THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS A FEW WRINKLES AND A LIGHT NATURAL AGEING BUT HAS REMAINED UNSPLIT.

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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