MASTER MATRICES:
XEX 421-1N / XEX 422-1N
EARLY MOTHERS/ STAMPERS:
SIDE 1 - 1 RR
SIDE 2 - 1 RA
CONDITION OF SLEEVE:
GRADES AS GOOD PLUS - THIS ONE HAS TAKEN THE TOLL OF HISTORY PRETTY HARSHLY ON ONE CORNER BEING SLIGHTLY CHEWED BUT... THE SLEEVE STILL HAS A BRIGHT GLOSSY UNBLEMISHED FRONT PICTORIAL OF THE FAB FOUR. THE SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS OR RUBS TO THE EDGES, THE OPENING SIDE IS NEAT AND TIGHT. NO RIPS TO THE FRONT OR REAR PANELS. FULLY LAMINATED OVER EDGES AND ONTO REAR FOLDS. ERNEST J DAY PRINTING CREDITS ARE PRESENT AND READABLE. SPINE COMPLETELY INTACT.
NO HANDWRITING OR WRITING IMPRINTS.
THE INNER SLEEVE:
THICK PAPER POLY LINED USE EMITEX INNER SLEEVE. VERY GOOD CONDITION. COMPLETELY INTACT INSIDE AND OUT AND ALONG ALL EDGES WITH NO FRAYING TO THE INNER OPENING TOP SEAM. 'MADE IN ENGLAND' TEXT.
THE LP RECORD:
EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE VINYL IS FREE OF GROOVE WEAR, IT IS SMOOTH ALL OVER RETAINING A VERY BRIGHT ORIGINAL PRESSING SHEEN ON BOTH SIDES. HAS BEEN INSPECTED AT ALL ANGLES UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND ONLY FOUND TO BE GENERAL LIGHT SUPERFICIAL NON-SOUNDING, NON-FEELABLE ULTRA LIGHT WISPY LINES HERE AND THERE NEAR OUTER RIM, AND ONE OR TWO FEINT SMALL HAIRLINES. THERE IS NO DULLING, NO SCUFFS, NO DINKS, NO WARPING, NO NEEDLE DROP MARKS OR SCRATCHES. THIS IS A HEAVY SLAB OF ORIGINAL PARLOPHONE VINYL THAT SITS PERFECTLY ON THE TURNTABLE WITH NO WARPING.
THE LABELS:
GRADE AS VERY GOOD. THE LABEL BACKGROUND DISPLAYS LIGHT RUBS IN ONE OR TWO SECTIONS FROM SLEEVE REMOVAL, BUT REALLY NOT TOO BADLY, STILL COMPLETELY READABLE AND THE YELLEW TEXT HAS NO FADING AND CONTRASTS WELL AGAINST THE BACKGROUND. LIGHT SPINDLE PERIMETER WEAR BUT NO HEAVY SPINDLE LINES VISIBLE.
THE AUDIO:
THE AUDIO IS EXCELLENT PLUS. GREAT DETAILED CLEAR SOUND THROUGHOUT WITH CRISP HIGHS, AND LOUD MONO BASS. PLAYS SMOOTHLY FROM START TO FINISH ON BOTH SIDES WITH NO AUDIBLE DETRACTIONS, JUST A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE ON THE DEAD-WAX GROOVES IN THE SONG IN-BETWEENS ONLY. NO INTERRUPTIONS OVER ANY AUDIO SUCH AS JUMPS, SKIPPING OR BACKGROUND NOISE, TICKS, POPS OR OTHER DISTORTION, AND OBVIOUSLY NO STICKS. THE BEST ASSET OF THIS LP IS CERTAINLY THE AUDIO, VERY PLAYABLE CLEAN COPY WHICH WILL LAST WAY INTO THE FUTURE AND SOUNDS EVEN THE BETTER KNOWING THAT IT IS THE CLOSEST POSSIBLE MOTHERS (BEING 1) ON BOTH SIDES TO THE MASTER LACQUER, VERY LISTENABLE BEATLES PLEASE PLEASE ME LP.
