CONDITION OF SLEEVE:
GRADES AS EXCELLENT - THE SLEEVE STILL HAS A BRIGHT GLOSSY UNBLEMISHED FRONT ARTISTRY. 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. RARER ERNEST J DAY PRODUCED SLEEVE WITH CREDITS PRESENT AND READABLE. SPINE COMPLETELY INTACT. JUST A FEW SMALL CORNER BUMPS. RARER 'DR. ROBERT' MISPRINT ON SONG LISTING ON REAR PANEL.
NO HANDWRITING OR WRITING IMPRINTS.
THE INNER SLEEVE:
EXCELLENT CONDITION ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE WITH 'PATENTS PENDING' TEXT. NO SPLITS OR RIPS. NO HANDWRITING OR MARKS.
THE LP RECORD:
VERY GOOD CONDITION. 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 FOUND TO BE SCATTERED TINY HAIRLINE MARKS OVER THE SURFACE AREA - SUPERFICIAL TO THE SURFACES, NON-SOUNDING, NON-FEELABLE, EXCEPT FOR A TINY SCRATCH PARALLEL TO THE GROOVE ON 'DR. ROBERT'. NO DULLING, NO SCUFFS, NO DINKS, NO WARPING, NO NEEDLE DROP MARKS OR LONG SCRATCHES. THIS IS A HEAVY SLAB OF 172 GRAM ORIGINAL PARLOPHONE VINYL THAT SITS PERFECTLY ON THE TURNTABLE WITH NO WARPING. IT LOOKS EXCELLENT IN NORMAL LIGHT, IT IS ONLY WHEN TURNED ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THAT IT CAN BE SEEN TO HAVE SEEN FAIR USE FOR SUCH A RARITY.
THE LABELS:
GRADE AS VERY GOOD PLUS. STILL COMPLETELY READABLE AND THE YELLOW TEXT HAS NO FADING AND CONTRASTS WELL AGAINST THE BACKGROUND. LIGHT SPINDLE PERIMETER WEAR BUT NO HEAVY SPINDLE LINES VISIBLE. KT TAX CODE STANDS OUT WELL EMBOSSED.
THE AUDIO:
THE AUDIO IS FOR THE VAST MAJORITY EXCELLENT WITH GREAT DETAILED CLEAR SOUND THROUGHOUT WITH CRISP HIGHS, AND LOUD MONO BASS. PLAYS SMOOTHLY FROM START TO FINISH ON BOTH SIDES WITH NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EVEN ON THE DEAD-WAX GROOVES . THE TINY SCRATCH MARK ON 'DR. ROBERT' CAUSES A STICK AT THE START. CLICKS AND TWO JUMPS AT THE LEAD OUT 'HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE' INTO THE NEXT INTRO OF 'YELLOW SUBMARINE', THE OVERALL AUDIO GRADES AS A REFLECTION OF THE VINYL CONDITION, AT VERY GOOD.
NO INTERRUPTIONS OVER ANY OTHER AUDIO SUCH AS SKIPPING, STICKS, BACKGROUND NOISE, TICKS, POPS OR OTHER DISTORTION. A CLEAN COPY WHICH WILL LAST, AND CONTAINS THE SOUGHT AFTER WITHDRAWN REMIX 11 VERSION OF 'TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS' WHICH JOHN LENNON IS REPORTED TO HAVE INITIALISED CEASING PRODUCTION SO NEW MASTERS COULD BE CUT WITH THE CORRECT REMIX 8. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE PRESSING SPAN FOR THIS RARE VERSION LASTED ONLY TWO WEEKS, AND JUDGING BY THE STAMPER CODES THAT COME UP FOR SALE NOW IT IS LIKELY THAT MANY DIDN'T EVEN FIND THEIR WAY INTO THE STORES.
