THIS RECORD IS JUST INCREDIBLE! IT BELONGED TO A GENTLEMAN WHO COLLECTED CLASSICAL RECORDS. THIS WAS ONE OF A VERY TINY BATCH OF BEATLES LP'S THAT HE OWNED AND AFFORDED THE SAME 'ONE PLAY' TREATMENT TO THEM AS HE DID WITH THE CLASSICAL VINYL

HE WOULD RECORD THE VINYL TO TAPE AND THEN NEVER PLAY THE LP AGAIN. THE INNER SLEEVES WERE ALL REMOVED AND STORED SEPARATELY AND THE VINYL WAS PLACED INTO IT'S OWN ANTI STATIC BAG. THE WHOLE SLEEVE AND VINYL SET WERE THEN PLACED INTO A PROTECTIVE OUTER SLEEVE AND STORED SAFELY AND UPRIGHT AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT, HEAT AND COLD

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN SUPERB 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. I CAN ONLY SEE ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE.

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN ON THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT,AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A ONE ALMOST INVISIBLE, HANDLING LINES AND A FEW VERY TINY WISPY HAIRLINES

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 RECORD FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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

INCREDIBLE STEREO REPRODUCTION

WHAT I HAVE FOUND OVER THE YEARS IS THAT A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF BEATLES ALBUMS WERE PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS EITHER WORN OR TOO HEAVY RESULTING IN DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, USUALLY WHEN I AM LISTENING TO THEM THERE IS AN IRRITATING NOISE COMING FROM ONE SPEAKER ONLY WHERE THE STYLUS HAS WORN ONE SIDE OF THE GROOVE. WELL THIS ONE HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM AND PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A STEREO PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IS NOTHING SHORT OF SUPERB!! PRESSED LOUDLY EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED

THE ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY  ISSUES WHATSOEVER. A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN RECORDING THAT PLAYS WITHOUT CLICKS, AND ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER 

NO VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC HEARD VERY OCCASIONALLY IN THE QUIETEST SPOTS. A TRULY INCREDIBLE REPRODUCTION

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 4-5 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE ONE PLAY VINYL PLAYTHROUGH  MINT MINUS!!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE RANKS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BEST COPIES EVER. IT IS IN STAGGERING ORIGINAL AND PRISTINE CONDITION

FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES, AND NO BENDS ETC.

THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS NO BLEMISHES TO IT AT ALL. VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN HAS HAD A THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE, BUT NOT ON THIS COPY, IT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY WELL CARED FOR!!!

THERE IS NOT ONE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, TOP EDGE OR BOTTOM EDGE

ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE 100% SHARP AND UNRUBBED

THE ONLY MINOR BLEMISH IS A TINY LITTLE SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT!! TOTALLY FLAT AND USQUASHED, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE MINT AND UNRUBBED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND MINT!!

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP , TOTALLY PRISTINE AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE  ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD, OR SHOULD I SAY HALF OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AND ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. IF YOU STUDY THE PICTURE I HAVE PLACED HERE OF THE OPEN GATEFOLD YOU WILL SEE THAT IT WILL NOT OPEN OUT FULLY AND LAY FLAT. THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE SPINE IS SO IMMACULATE. THE NON OPENING OF THE GATEFOLD WAS COMMON TO ALL COPIES, AND MOST OWNERS JUST FORCED IT FLAT, WHICH CRACKED THE LAMINATE OF THE SPINE IN MOST CASES, BUT HERE IS ONE IN TOTALLY ORIGINAL AND PRISTINE CONDITION

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR. THERE ARE NO LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONCE AGAIN NOT ONE THUMB LINE ANYWHERE

THE RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST MINT & PERFECT. FLAT, CLEAN, NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO WEAR TO THE OPENING EDGE.IT HAS ONLY HAS THE LP INSIDE IT IN THE RECORD SHOP AND FOR THE LAST 45 YEARS HAS SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE

THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION, HAVING NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE COVER MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS STUNNING SLEEVE MINT !!!!  THERE WILL NEVER BE A BETTER EXAMPLE ANYWHERE

IT IS THAT GOOD!!!  A TRUE MUSEUM PIECE

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