THE BEATLES
THE BIG BEAT OF THE BEATLES LP
ONE OF THE WELL KNOWN INTERNATIONAL COLLECTABLES, THIS SOUTHERN RHODESIAN LP WAS BRIEFLY RELEASED IN 1964, WITH FEW PRESSED. GENERALLY, HARDER TO FIND THIS THAN A MONO BLACK & GOLD!
VINYL
STRONG VG++. A GREAT PLAYBACK, WITH JUST SOME FEINT OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND IN QUIETER PLACES, THIS COPY HASN'T HAD THE HEAVY PLAY THAT SO MANY OF THESE RHODESIAN COPIES HAVE SEEN. AS WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SOUTH AFRICAN COPIES FROM THIS PERIOD, THE ACTUAL SOUND QUALITY SOMETIMES LEAVES A BIT TO BE DESIRED, BUT MOSTLY THE PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT AND CLEAR. OCCASIONALLY THERE SEEMS TO BE A SMALL DROP IN VOLUME (MANUFACTURING), AND OCCASIONALLY GOES A LITTLE 'FUZZY'. I'M BEING AS TRANSPARENT AND AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE HERE! OVERALL THOUGH A GREAT COPY, AND DIFFICULT TO FIND LIKE THIS.
VISUALLY, THE RECORD IS NICE AND CLEAN, AND HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN CAREFULLY PLAYED AND HANDLED. THERE IS SOME STORAGE MARKING AND HANDLING HAIRLINES, BUT MOSTLY IT'S NOT TOO OBVIOUS, AND YOU CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING, SO THE BACKGROUND IS JUST OCCASIONALLY LOW-LEVEL AS DESCRIBED, WITH NO LOUDER 'TICS' OR 'POPS'.
SO THERE WE GO - A GENUINE PIECE OF BEATLES MUSICAL HISTORY, GETTING MORE SCARCE AS THE YEARS ROLL ON BY.
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.
SLEEVEFRONT LAMINATED RHODESIAN SLEEVE A NICE SOLID VG+ WITH SOME GENERAL STORAGE WEAR AND SOME CREASING AND COLOURING TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE. NO WRITING. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAIL. ORIGINAL CLEAR POLYTHENE INNER SLEEVE IN VG CONDITION. SHIPS WITH NEW WHITE POLY LINED INNER.
LABELS
