THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN JUNE 1976 JUST AFTER THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE BEATLES AND EMI RAN OUT, ALLOWING EMI TO RELEASE PREVIOUSLY RECORDED BEATLES SONGS.

THE TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM ARE THE MASTER CUTS FROM THE ALBUMS AND AS SUCH HAVE THE 'FIRST PRESS' AUDIO PERFORMANCE. THEY ARE ALL STEREO CUTS

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND CLOSE EXAMINATION CANNOT FIND ONE SPIDER LINE ON ANY OF THE 4 SIDES. THE LP SET HAS UNTIL TODAY NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY OF THE SURFACES. IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE BOTH FLAWLESS, AND THE SAME GOES WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION

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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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.

I DECIDED TO GIVE THIS SET ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY, BECAUSE AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES 'UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT' I GUARANTEE MY EFFORTS WILL GO UNDETECTED

THE VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, AND THE POWERHOUSE STEREO SOUND IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS ANY TRACK ON ANY OF THE BEATLES ORIGINAL ALBUMS, THIS IS BECAUSE THE MASTERCUTS FROM THE ORIGINALS WERE USED

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT FAULT. NO DISTORTION, AND A CRISP CLEAR AS A BELL STEREO REPRODUCTION

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, NO VINYL NOISE. TOTALLY SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO STATIC AND NO MORE THAN TWO BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

A TOTALLY MINT GRADE!!!!

TAKE A LISTEN TO THE VINYL AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSEGATEFOLD SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO CREASES OR BENDS, AND REMARKABLY NOT ONE SINGLE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE.

NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS A SMALL LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED AND THIS RUNS FROM TIP TO TIP WITH THE ONLY PIN PRICK OF WEAR SHOWING ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT REAR CORNER TIP

THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND SHOW JUST WHY THE SET HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL CRIMP MARKS TO THE VERY REAR EDGE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE FRONT, AND AGAIN NON HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO LINES AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES, JUST ONE LIGHT LINE ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS

THE TWO EMI INNER SLEEVES ARE ALSO BOTH IN PRISTINE UNSPLIT CONDITION

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!!

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

GARRY
