PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF DISTORTION CAUSED THROUGH GROOVE WEAR. A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH NOTES BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY.IT IS WORTH POINTING OUT THAT FIRST PRESS RELEASES ALWAYS SOUND BETTER THAN LATER PRESSES. TAKING A LISTEN TO 'THE TWO OF US' SHOULD EASILY CONFIRM THIS.
THERE IS NO SEVERE BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND NO LOUD CLICKS

THE SLEEVE
-
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IS QUITE SPECTACULAR TO LOOK AT AND HANDLE
MIRROR. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 98% FREE FROM ANY WEAR WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT, AND THE ONLY TWO SPECKS OF RUB ARE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT AND TOP LEFT TIP ENDS
THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT WITH JUST THAT SPECK OF WHITE AT THE VERY TOP TIP END.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS PRECIOUS ALBUM HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE PLAIN WHITE CORRECT INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB UNSPLIT AND LIGHTLY WRINKLED BUT VERY WHITE CONDITION
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT.
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINS!!!
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
GLEAMING FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL THAT HAS NOT LOST ANY OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW VERY VERY FINE HANDLING LINES TO BE SEEN
THERE IS THE VERY OCCASIONAL BIT OF LIGHT STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HEARD IN THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES,AND A FEW BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE, BUT THIS IS JUST A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS SOUGHT AFTER FIRST PRESS LP
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE FIRST ISSUE OF THIS ALBUM ONLY CAME IN THIS DELUXE PRESENTATION SET. IT WAS RELEASED ON MAY 8TH 1970. TO OBTAIN JUST THE STANDARD ISSUE YOU HAD TO WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER 6TH 1970. THE BOX SET SOLD POORLY BY COMPARISON BECAUSE OF ITS PRICE.
HERE IS THE LP THAT CAME WITH THE BOX SET
THE ONE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS LP AND THE NOVEMBER ISSUE WAS THAT ON THE REAR OF THE BOX SET SLEEVE, THE APPLE LOGO WAS IN RED, WHEREAS THE LATER ISSUES HAD A GREEN APPLE. ONE WAY TO TELL IF YOU HAVE A FIRST ISSUE ALBUM
THE SLEEVE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR, AND THERE IS NO LAMINATE CREASING AT ALL ON ANY PART, AND AMAZINGLY JUST ONE LITTLE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
