CONDITION

The Vinyl

VERY NEAR MINT

On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks SUPERB, LOVELY, GLOSSY AND MIRROR LIKE SHINE I cannot only see ANY EVEN FEINT BLEMISHES OR HAIRLINES EVEN UNDER A STRONG LIGHT

Any marks that could possibly be seen under a stronger light would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve

Importantly There is definitely NO needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all

A STUNNING example of this RARE MONO FIRST EVER PRESS from AUGUST 1964. SUPERB

IN MY OPINION IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO BETTER THIS VINYL UNLESS SEALED AND UNPLAYED, AMAZING AFTER OVER HALF A CENTURY


The Audio Quality NEAR MINT

I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system, the audio is awesome

Crystal clear and vibrant through out, with NO distortion or any signs of groove wear at all

Certainly NO clicks pops or jumps As good as it gets in my opinion

THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES

GRADED AS NEAR MINT

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 56 YEARS OLD


The Labels: NEAR MINT

These are super Bright and clean ONLY ONE OR TWO SPINDLE LINES can be seen on each side, angled in strong light but concentrated around the centre hole only.

Confirming this has definitely been played VERY FEW TIMES since 1964

Please note i am highly critical about the audio quality on my records as it is my prime interest above rarity

This plays awesome you will not be disappointed.


The Outer Sleeve Near Mint

This is the original Ernest J. Day Laminated TRI flip back Printed cover , in superb condition

Nice clean glossy appearance front and rear

NO RIPS OR NASTY NAMES WRITTEN ON ETC

RICH IN COLOUR Super FULLY LEGIBLE spine

Being ultra critical ,

VERY Slightest foxing on

rear but thats it, please see pics to confirm

again one of the best ive seen for a long time and always stored in NEW dust cover

and includes original NEMS dust bag from day of purchase in the summer of 1964


The original EMITEX Inner Sleeve Near MINT

This is the original correct EMITEX rice paper poly lined inner sleeve.

NO splits or tears, just very light minimal creases, lovely

NEMS ORIGINAL CLEAR DUST BAG, IS CREASED AND SHOWS ITS AGE, BUT NO SPLITS, FULLY LEGIBLE WORDING BUT WAS REPLACED MANY YEARS AGO WITH A MODERN VERSION BUT KEPT THIS VINYL PRISTINE IN THE EARLY YEARS. See all pictures

KEPT SAFELY FOR AUTHENTICITY OF PURCHASE IN LIVERPOOL, WHERE IT ALL BEGAN FOR THE BEATLES, A TRUELY STUNNING RECORD AND A PIECE OF MUSIC HISTORY. DO NOT MISS OUT
