IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES 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 MONO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION.
THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
THE EARLY MONO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE.
MANY MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR.
THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALBUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS.
THIS VINYL IS FLAWLESS 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.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
JUST THE OCCASIONAL SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE, IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES I DON T BELIEVE I EVEN HEARD ANY DUST POPS THOUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH IF YOU WANT A REALLY STUNNING COPY OF BEATLES FOR SALE BUY, THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN TO THIS COPY I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM NEAR MINT THE SLEEVE OF ALL THE BEATLES ALBUMS, THIS SLEEVE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE HARDEST TO FIND IN REAL TOP CONDITION.
ENTIRELY DUE TO THE FLIMSY DESIGN AND THE WAY IN WHICH THE LP WAS HOUSED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF COPIES WILL HAVE CREASED FRONT SURFACE/FOLDOVERS, DAMAGED SPINES, TORN INNER POCKET, AND RINGWEAR ON THE REAR SURFACE THIS MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE HAS ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE ABOVE SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE.
IT HAS BEEN HOUSED FOR ALL OF IT S LIFE INSIDE A PROTECTIVE OUTER SLEEVE AND THIS HAS STOPPED ANY CREASING TO THE SURFACE .
IT IS USUAL TO FIND THIS THIN FLAP CREASED ACROSS CORNERS WHERE THE FLIMSY PIECE OF CARD HAS BEEN ACCIDENTALLY BENT OR FOLDED THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.
AS MENTIONED THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE CORNERS ARE TOTALLY SQUARE AND ONLY THE TOP ONES SHOW A SPECK OF HANDLING THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINE BY THE SPINE.NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE SMALL THUMB LINE JUST UNDER PAUL S CHIN, PLUS A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT LAMINATE LINES TO THE LEFT OF PAULS FACE.
VERY HARD TO SPOT AND DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS SLEEVE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100 FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ON THE TOP EDGE, WITH JUST ONE TINY PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE.
THE CORNER TIPS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND WHICH OFTEN LOSES THE LAMINATE, BUT THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND 100 FLAT AND UNSQUASHED.
EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THE VERY TIPS TOP AND BOTTOM HAVE THE BAREST SPECK OF RUB THE RIGHT HAD EDGE IS ALSO 100 FULLY LAMINATED AND UNBLEMISHED THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS JUST HOW SUPERB THIS SLEEVE IS, AND WHY IT IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS.
MOST COPIES HAVE DAMAGED INNER SPINES, OR AT LEAST NICKS TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS.
THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE WAY THE RECORD IS HOUSED BY INSERTING IT FROM THE SPINE INTO THE INNER POCKET.
AS THIS IS SUCH A TIGHT FIT, IT IS ALL TO EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY NICK THE POCKET EDGE AND TEAR IT, BUT FAR MORE LIKELY IS THE FACT THAT UNLESS THE LP IS FULLY HOUSED INSIDE THE POCKET, CLOSING THE GATEFOLD OFTEN RESULTED IN ANY EXCESS VINYL PROTRUDING FROM THE SLEEVE TO ACT LIKE A BLUNT KNIFE AND OVER TIME DAMAGED THE SPINE.
THIS SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY UNBLEMISHED/ NO ONE SPECK OF DAMAGE TO THE SPINE, NOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE INNER POCKET.
ABSOLUTELY MINT THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO PRISTINE, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE TO EITHER INNER SURFACE I DON T BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND A CLEANER AND BETTER EXAMPLE THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT MINUS CONDITION.BARELY A WRINKLE AND TOTALLY WHITE AND UNSPLIT, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS IT WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING AND IS TRULY AN INVESTMENT GRADE CONDITION GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT GARRY Powered by eBay Turbo Lister
