PAUL McCARTNEY "Band On The Run" *FACTORY SAMPLE* MINT -2/-5 MATRIX, INNER & POSTER, BEAUTIFUL UNPLAYED COPY

PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS
Band On The Run


UK EMI (PAS 10007) *FACTORY SAMPLE* PRESSING OF PAUL McCARTNEY'S CLASSIC "Band On The Run" LP IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION - I DON'T THINK THIS COPY HAS EVER BEEN PLAYED - THE LABELS ARE PRISTINE WITH NO SPINDLE TRACES AND THE VINYL SURFACES SHINE LIKE NEW
IT'S ALSO COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL CUT-CORNER TEXTURED INNER SLEEVE - WHICH IS UNSPLIT, THE 'POLAROID' POSTER WHICH I DON'T THINK HAS EVER EVEN BEEN OPENED AND THE 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' PRINTED SINGLE MATT SLEEVE WHICH IS CRISP, CLEAN AND FRESH
THIS IS A SUPERB *FACTORY SAMPLE* PRESSING WHICH PLAYS FLAWLESSLY ON MY SYSTEM (AT A LOUD VOLUME!) WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR, DEEP, RICH, WARM AND BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN AUDIO REPRODUCTION (see detailed audio assessment below) - FANTASTIC COPY
MATRIX NUMBERS: YEX 929 - 2 / YEX 930 - 5
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 3/PGR and 1/GL

SIDE 1: Band On The Run / Jet / Bluebird / Mrs. Vandebilt / Let Me Roll It
SIDE 2: Mamunia / No Words / Helen Wheels / Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me) / Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five

LABELS: The labels are clean, bright and unmarked with no evident spindle traces - in my opinion, completely unplayed. The *FACTORY SAMPLE* sticker on the Side Two label is untouched with no attempt at removal
VINYL Visual: The vinyl still retains its original deep, like-new, glossy sheen and is unmarked (under a very bright light there are some superficial sleeve hairlines but these have absolutely no audio consequence)
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio quality throughout. This LP is beautifully recorded with a strong, deep, rich and vibrant sound - crystal clear with great bass. On playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no surface noise and no clicks or pops - this is a beautifully clean pressing. The audio delivery is superb and the whole LP plays to the highest standard throughout with all frequencies bright and clear, no groove-wear and no distortion and is very critically graded MINT for audio - this is a really fantastic copy which plays to perfection (in addition to being a rare factory sample)
SLEEVE: The single matt G&L cover is also in great shape. Square and solid with no wear to any of the edges or spine - where all text is clear and bold (this text is also reproduced on the top edge of the sleeve). Superb cover - practically untouched - NEAR MINT
INNER SLEEVE: The textured G&L lyric inner is also in great condition. It's clean, fresh and unmarked with no creases or even signs of much handling. There are no splits to any of the edges (although the bottom edge does display some record pressure and has the smallest beginning of a split but not yet cut through - the record is now housed in a new inner to prevent any knifing to the original during transit). EXCELLENT++
POSTER: The large Polaroid poster is in MINT condition - I don't think it has ever even been opened

REDUCED POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (EACH ADDITIONAL LP: EUROPE & INTERNATIONAL £2.00)
I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I try to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers

ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT.
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY WRAPRO MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY




I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks
