PAUL AND LINDA MCCARTNEY - BAND ON THE RUN
INCREDIBLE ALBUM - JUST ONE PLAY
GENUINE 1ST PRESS WITH -1 / -1 MATRIX ENDING
STONE MINT VINYL
FINAL UPGRADE
This is the third and last copy of this rare album which came from this amazing McCartney collection. So if you are after a genuine 1st press with the -1 matrix numbers this may be your final opportunity to get one in such magnificent condition
THE LABELS
1ST ISSUE WITH THE SILVER APPLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE AT 3 O CLOCK
TOTALLY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLES
JUST ONE SPINDLE LINE BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
ALSO IMMACULATE. YOU WILL NEVER FIND A CLEANER EXAMPLE. IT JUST HASN T BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE
BOTH IN DAYLIGHT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT LOOKS MINT OTHER THAN ONE TOTALLY NON SOUNDING DULL EMBEDDED SPECK ON THE FINAL TRACK SIDE TWO
THIS IS ALSO THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH WEIGHS 150G. NOT THE FLIMSY LATER ISSUES
KEEP THE SUPERLATIVES TO THE ABSOLUTE MINIMAL AMOUNT ALL I CAN SAY IS
SUBLIME
ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO DUST POPS OR TICS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT IT S A REAL STUNNER AND A FINAL UPGRADE
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS SLEEVE THAT I EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO HOLD. THE FRONT SURFACE IS USUALLY FOUND WITH THE COLOUR IN A POOR CONDITION, OR RING WORN, BUT NOT THIS ONE, IT S IMMACULATE
IT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND THIS IS THE REASON FOR IT S INCREDIBLE CONDITION
NON LAMINATED MATTE BROWN SINGLE SLEEVE
FLAT AND CLEAN AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, NO BENDS EITHER. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE IN THE MIDDLE
THERE ARE TWO BARELY VISIBLE ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS INTACT, APART FROM A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE, AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNDAMAGED
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH ENDS ARE PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE ANGLED CORNERED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. IT IS THE FIRST ISSUE THAT ONLY HAS THREE CORNERS CUT WITH ONE OF THE BOTTOM ONES REMAINING SQUARE.
TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED AND HAS NO SPLITS ON ANY OF THE EDGES. THE THUMB NOTCH AT THE OPENING EDGE IS REMARKABLE FREE FROM ANY SPLITS OR TEARS
THE POSTER IS IN MINT CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
