EVERY NOW AND THEN A RECORD SURFACES THAT HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST. THIS IS ONE SUCH ALBUM. AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE 'STEREO' COPY OF THE BEATLES SECOND ALBUM. EARLY STEREO BEATLES PRESSINGS ARE A RARITY IN THEM SELVES, AND THE VERY SHORT LIVED 'JOBETE' 1ST PRESS EVEN RARER. (FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, THE LAST TRACK MONEY WAS INCORRECTLY ACREDITED TO JOBETE INSTEAD OF DOMINION BELINDA, QUICKLY CORRECTED AND A NEW BATCH OF PRESSES WERE ISSUED)

THIS ALBUM IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST MAGNIFICENT COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN, WITH A SLEEVE TO MATCH

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGIFICENT CONDITION . THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. NOW I CAN'T SEE ANY SPIDER LINES SURROUNDING THE SPINDLE HOLE. I CAN'T SAY THAT THIS HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED, BUT WHAT IS VERY CLEAR IS THAT IF IT HAS BEEN PLAYED IT HAS BEEN HANDLED WITH THE UTMOST CARE.

THE VINYL

A MINT CONDITION VINYL THAT HAS RETAINED EVERY BIT OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS TOTALLY AS NEW. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE. JUST A FEW OF THE SMALLEST AND WISPIEST HAIRLINES POSSIBLE

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 RECENTLY DECIDED TO RECORD IN FULL ALL OF THE LP'S THAT I LIST FOR AUCTION, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR IN FULL WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON. A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS STEREO RECORD PLAYS THROUGH AS IF IT HAD JUST BEEN PUT ONTO A TURNTABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. THE FIRST THING THAT IS APPARENT IS THE INCREDIBLE STEREO MIX. A CLARITY OF SOUND THAT YOU ONLY EVER GOT ON THESE EARLIEST OF BEATLES PRESSINGS.

THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION . DISTORTION FREE AND NO FRYING BACON OR BACKGROUND. CERAAINLY NO CLICKS OR POPS. AN INCREIDBLE 1ST PRESS

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP  MINT !!!

THE SLEEVE

STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE IS SUPERB CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HIGHLY POLISHED. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, JUST A FEW SMALL LAMINATE LINES. A COUPLE DOWN THE SPINE, AND  A FEW MORE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. UNUSUALLY ON THIS DELICATE SLEEVE THERE IS NO SIGN OF ANY THUMB NAIL LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, SOMETHING THAT IS USUALLY FOUND ON THIS COVER

THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE COVER, AND NO RINGWEAR EITHER WHICH THIS SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS FROM.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR

THE SPINE IS JUST IMMACULATE. TYPEFACE FULLY LEGIBLE, SPINE UNSQUASHED AND NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE. THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE ALSO IMMACULATE AND UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK WHERE THE LP WAS PLUCKED FROM THE COVER.

THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THE PHOTO DOESN'T DO IT ENOUGH JUSTICE. THERE IS NOT A BLEMISH ON IT ANYWHERE, AND THIS IS BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PROTETCED FROM NEW. NO FINGERMARKS, NO GRUBBINESS, NO SIGNS OF AGING OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO IMMACULATE AND ALL PERFECTLY STUCK IN PLACE.

THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED 'EMITEX' INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNCREASED CONDITION. NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT EITHER. A GREAT EXAMPLE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A VAULT CONDITION COPY OF THIS RARE SET, AND ONE COLLECTORS WILL BE PROUD TO HAVE IN THEIR COLLECTION. IT WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING, AND CAN ONLY GROW IN VALUE AND OUGHT TO BE TREATED AS NOT ONLY A SUPERB COLLECTIBLE BUT AN INVESTMENT AS WELL.

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