THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK STEREO LABELS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE, AND THERE ARE JUST 6-7 SMALL SPDIER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1967. THE 1 MOTHERS SHOW JUST HOW EARLY IN THE PRESS RUN THIS PARTICULAR DISC CAME
THE VINYL
A STUNNING LP WITH A MIRROR LIKE SHEEN. CLEARLY A WELL AND CAREFULLY HANDLED DISC THAT HAS NO MARKS OR SCRATCHES ON ITS GLASS LIKE SURFACE. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT SOME VERY WISPY HAIRLINES. THIS IS A VERY HEAVYWEIGHT ORIGINAL PRESS VINYL
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.
BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH AN ICONIC ALBUM I HAVE DECIDED TO RECORD THE WHOLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH OVER 6 SEPERATE SOUNDBITES TO SHOW ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE CLEANEST SOUNDING PEPPER ALBUM OUT THERE, THAT THIS WILL NOT BE A WASTE OF YOUR INVESTMENT
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 STEREO REPRODUCTION. I FULLY EXPECTED TO HEAR SOME MILD DISTORTION, OR SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND IN PLACES, BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NONE. THIS IS THE FINEST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER HEARD. I THINK A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAY.
SO OPEN THE SOUND BITES AND TAKE A LONG LISTEN TO THE BEST ORIGINAL SGT PEPPER OUT THERE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES, AND NO BENDS ETC.THERE IS ONE SMALL CHIP TO THE VERY TOP OF THE SLEEVE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER WHICH I HAVE TAKEN A CLOSE UP PICTURE OF. THERE ARE A FEW REALLY TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. AND A COUPLE MORE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN AND FULLY LAMINATED.
THE SPINE HAS MILD SHELF WEAR AND THE TYPEFACE IS STILL PROPERLY LEGIBLE IF LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD HAS THE PEPPER CREAK WHEN OPENED, AND BOTH PANELS ARE IN TOP UNMARKED CONDITION.AND THE TOP EDGE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN TOP CONDITION WITH BARELY A TINY LAMINATE LINE TO SPEAK OF
THE RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL PATENTS PENDING AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS ONE SMALL SEAM SPLIT ON ONE EDGE WHICH HAS HAD A REPAIR TO IT AND JUST SHOWS A SLIGHT SCUFF TO THE EDGE. OTHER THAN THAT ITS FLAT AND BARELY CREASED WITH A REALLY SHARP TOP EDGE
THE CUT OUT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION
THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
