THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL 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 7-8 SMALL SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC AND PRISTINE IN DAYLIGHT.  WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS TINY WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES. THESE ARE ALL SUPERFICIAL AND NON SOUNDING AS YOU WILL HERE WHEN PLAYING THE SOUNDBITES. THERE ARE NO OTHER MARKS ON THE VINYL WHATSOEVER, WHICH IS WHY IT SOUNDS SO SUPERB. I STRESS THESE WISPY LINES ARE ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A SPOTLIGHT

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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL OF THE LP'S I LIST. I DO THIS BECAUSE I AM CERTAIN THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD THAT IS UP FOR AUCTION. 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 STEREO REPRODUCTION. 

THE MOST IMPORTANT MEASURE ON ANY BEATLES LP IS LACK OF DISTORTION AND GROOVE WEAR. AND I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THIS LP PLAYS PERFECTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

IN ADDITION THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS

ALSO NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC HEARD ONLY IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT !!!!

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

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THE LAMINATE SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE, AND NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE.

THERE ARE JUST FOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THREE SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. 

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL PRETTY WELL SHARP AND SQUARE WITH THE TINIEST DIGN TO THE TOP LEFT ONE, AND A SMALL SCUFF ON THE TIP OF THE BOTTOM LEFT

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 95% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT.THERE IS JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP ENDS AND BOTTOM RIGHT

THE SPINE HAS THE FIRST PRESS TAPERED ENDS, AND IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE LAMINATE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE ROUGHNESS AND BURRING IN PATCHES

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS .

THE VULNERABLE UNLAMINATED POWDERY BLACK SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. OFTEN FOUND RUBBED THROUGH TO THE WHITE SURFACE, THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME VERY MAGNIFICENTLY, AND SHOWS NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER

THE ORIGINAL EMI ADVERTISING SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. FLAT AND UN-CREASED. A TINY NICK ON ONE SIDE OF THE TOP EDGE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!!

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