   A SUPERB OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN ONE OF THE RARER BEATLES LP'S. THE YELLOW SUBMARINE ALBUM WHEN RELEASED WAS ONE OF THE POORER LP'S IN TERMS OF SALES COMING SO SHORTLY AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE WHITE ALBUM, AND ONLY REALLY HAVING ONE SIDE OF BEATLES MATERIAL, THE OTHER BEING THE INSTRUMENTAL SOUNDTRACK TO THE FILM. 

• EVEN RARER WAS THE SALE OF A MONO PRESSING, AS BY 1969 STORES WERE REALLY ONLY INTERESTED IN SELLING THE MORE POPULAR STEREO ALBUMS, AND GENERALLY MONO PRESSINGS HAD TO BE SPECIALLY ORDERED. SO NOT ONLY WAS THE LP A POOR SELLER IN GENERAL, BUT THE MONO COPY WAS BARELY SOLD AT ALL BY CONTRAST.

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE CLASSIC APPLE LABEL IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DARK GREEN SIDE IS A VERY DEEP GREEN COLOUR AND HAS NO BLEMISHES AT ALL. THE WHITE SIDE IS EQUALLY PERFECT.  THE GREEN COLOURS FULLY EXTEND INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT ON BOTH SIDES. UNFADED AND UNRUBBED

A CAREFUL CHECK OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS A FEW  LIGHT  SPIDER LINES WHICH ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE HOLE, WHICH INDICATES THAT THE RECORD HAS HAD LITTLE PLAY SINCE 1969

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED  ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN . I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE THAT ARE DULL AND HAVE A WORN LOOK AND FEEL ABOUT THEM, BUT THIS ONE IS AS GOOD AS YOU WOULD EVER WANT. 

IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I SEE A FEW TINY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS ON SIDE ONE AND SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE HANDLING LINE COVERING THE FIRST 2 TRACKS (NON SOUNDING)

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 FULLY RECORDED THE LP FROM START TO FINISH TO ALLOW YOU TO MAKE UP YOUR ON MIND

SIDE A PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. CLEAN AND OUTSTANDING MONO PERFORMANCE. NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. a COUPLE OF RANDOM SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND ONE OR TWO STATIC LIKE TICS

SIDE B HAS A LITTLE MORE OF THE VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES AND A FEW LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE

I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO FOR SIDE A AS NEAR MINT AND SIDE B AS EX+

SO TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THE FAMOUS FIRST PRESS SLEEVE WITH THE TWO RED BANDS ON THE REAR SURFACE

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SLEEVES THAT IS OFTEN FOUND TERRIBLE CREASED, DUE IN THE MAIN BECAUSE THE CARD USED IN MAKING IT WAS SO VERY THIN, AND THIS IN ADDITION CAUSED SEVERE RINGWEAR ON MOST COPIES

THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN SUPERB CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS LAMINATED AND IN AMAZING CONDITION. 

FIRSTLY THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR BENDS. 

THE SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO PEELING OR FLAKING OF THE LAMINATE EITHER. 

HERE IS THE UNUSUAL PART.- THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESURE LINES BY THE SPINE AT ALL!!!

JUST ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE SMALL THUMB 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT. JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE AGAIN HAS ALL THE LAMINATE INTACT AND THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO SQUASHING AND PRISTINE UNBLEMISHED TAPERED ENDS.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED, AND HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS. 

THE WHITE SURFACE IS  STILL VERY WHITE WITH ONLY A VERY VERY MILD SHADOW OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES AND ONE TINY BROWN MOTTLE BY THE OPENING EDGE. THE TWO RED LINES ARE BOTH UNBLEMISHED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE  BLACK INNER SLEVEVE IS THE ORIGINAL ISSUED ONE, NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO DAMAGE TO THE DIE CUT HOLE, JUST ONE CORNER CREASE

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