THE BEATLES
'REVOLVER'
In the past, early 1970's issues of Beatles LPs have been unfairly judged as being inferior to 1st pressings. However, close attention to detail, and more importantly, sound quality shows that they sound as good as or in some cases, a little better than their overplayed, more expensive 1st pressing counterparts.
These discs pressed in the UK between October 1969 until late 1972 on 1 or 2 EMI Box, 'Gramophone Co..' rimmed labels, were pressed on high quality vinyl and in most cases used the same original 'tube-cut' mixes/masters as 1st pressings. All boast outstanding sound quality which later solid-state cuts never matched.
If you value sound quality and want to enjoy tube-cut UK Beatles mixes at a fraction of the price of the originals, look no further. You will not be disappointed.

CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
Clean & bright with just a handful of tiny spindle trails to each centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are pristine, unmarked and in MINT condition when viewed in strong daylight. Close & careful inspection directly under my powerful halogen light reveals just a sparkling rainbow gloss and a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines but no other marks or wear whatsoever. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: NEAR MINT
This immaculate sounding copy has received just a few careful plays on top quality equipment and sounds 'as new' throughout with no perceptible traces of audible wear on or between the music on both sides.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A superb clean & white front panel with no discolouration or any 'thumbnail' creases towards the opening edge. There is some minor bruising to the corners but both opening edges are all undamaged with no tears or splits to any. The rear is clean & a lighter than usual, clearly due to a printer's error but it is unmarked with no rubbing, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are clean & intact and both seams and the spine are unstressed & undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with just slight natural age-toning & light disc impression but no writing, tears or splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
