THIS IS QUITE AN INCREDIBLE FIND. A 1ST PRESS BEATLES ALBUM FROM 1963 THAT HAS ONLY EVER HAD 2 PLAYS FROM NEW.

TO FIND A COPY OF THIS DEBUT LP IS NOT AT ALL DIFFICULT, TO FIND ONE IN REASONABLE CONDITION, ALSO NOT TOO DIFICULT, BUT TO FIND ONE IN A BARELY PLAYED CONDITION IS NIGH ON IMPOSSIBLE!!, AND TO FIND ONE WHERE THE SLEEVE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING, THE ORIGINAL OWNER JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE MUSIC!!!

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SMAE EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST 2 MINISCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS JUST HAD THE TWO PLAYS FROM NEW. IT'S QUITE ASTOUNDING

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN STUNNING CONDITION. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A COUPLE OF TINY AND WISPY HAIRLINES

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 4 TRACKS FROM THE LP INCLUDING BOTH INTRODUCTORY TRACKS FROM EACH SIDE, AS WELL AS ONE OTHER RANDOM TRACK. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE INCREDIBLE MONO FIRST PRESS CLARITY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN MONO REPRODUCTION. JUST PURE FIRST PRESS MONO SOUND. THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND WITHOUT ANY POPS OR CLICKS, EVEN THE TINY DUST POPS THAT OFTEN FREQUENT OLD VINYL ARE JUST NOT THERE.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO DISTORTION CAUSED BY GROOVE WEAR

I SUPOSE IF I AM BEING REALLY PICKY THERE IS JUST THE LIGHTEST TRACE OF VINYL NOISE IN THE VERY VERY QUIETEST OF SPOTS, AND THE ODD RANDOM SECOND OF STATIC, BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS ONE INCREDIBLE VINYL

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP  MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS THE E.J DAY FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE, AND IT IS IN A CONDITION LIKE NO OTHER I HAVE SEEN

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE NEW. I CAN TELL YOU THAT IN ADDITION TO NOT HAVING BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN TWICE, THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW WHICH HAS COMPLETELY PROTECTED IT

THE FRONT HAS NO CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE, JUST A FEW REALLY TINY AND BARELY VISIBLE LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND EDGES

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR

THE SPINE IS JUST IMMACULATE. TYPEFACE FULLY LEGIBLE, SPINE UNSQUASHED AND NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST WHY THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY VERY RARE. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OR AGEING OR STAINS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD TELL YOU THIS SLEEVE IS 47 YEARS OLD. THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY STUCK IN PLACE.

AGAIN THIS IS IN THE MAIN DUE TO THE PROTECTION THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN GIVEN FROM NEW

THE ORIGINAL EMI POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN SUPER CONDITION. NO SPLITS AND JUST A COUPLE OF CORNER CREASES

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
