PAUL McCARTNEY RAM 1971 RARE APPLE VINYL LP EARLY FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD

Description

           PAUL McCartney 'RAM' APPLE LABEL PAS 10003 MATRIX YEX 837-1/YEX 838-1

LAMINATED GATEFOLD OUTER SLEEVE HAS NO WRITING, RIPS OR TEARS. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS ALBUM IS FULLY LAMINATED INSIDE AND OUT, I BELIEVE ONLY EARLY PRESSING WERE SO. THE COLOURS ARE VIBRANT AND CLEAN. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL SOUND, AS IS THE SPINE WHERE THE TEXT READS PERFECTLY. THERE ARE A FEW MINOR DETRACTING FAULTS, A TINY DENT IN THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY JUST DISCERNABLE WHEN RUNNING A FINGER ALONG, THERE IS SMALL LAMINATE SCUFF ON THE FRONT COVER WHICH YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR, THE LAMINATE DOES NOT GO COMPLETELY TO THE OPENING EDGE WHICH SHOWS A SMALL AMOUNT OF GRIME, THERE IS A VERY TINY AMOUNT OF 'LIFT' ON THE INSIDE WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A LITTLE STICKING. ALL THESE FAULTS ARE VERY MINOR AND I HAVE ONLY DESCRIBED THEM FOR COMPLETENESS AND IN NO WAY DISTRACTS THIS SLEEVE AS BEING ANYTHING OTHER THAN EXCELLENT!

THE VINYL IS CLEAN AND SHINY WITH A FEW LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS EVIDENT UNDER STRONG LIGHT WHICH DOES NOT EFFECT THE PLAY OF THIS ALBUM. THE RUN OUT IS MARKED SIDE1: YEX 837-1 STAMPERS 14 LL SIDE 2: YEX838-1N STAMPERS 1 II P. I HAVE LISTENED TO THE ALBUM RIGHT THROUGH AND IT PLAYS EXCELLENTLY, NO SKIPS, JUMPS, STICKS. REPEAT CLICKS ETC. THERE IS NO DISTORTION AND THE SOUND RICH AND CLEAN WITH EXCELLENT STEREO RENDITION. I HEARD ONLY SMALLEST ODD POP ON SIDE ONE AND A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF BACKGROUND NOISE DISCERNABLE ON QUIETER SECTIONS, BUT REALLY THIS ALBUM PLAYS VERY WELL THROUGHOUT.

THE  LABELS ARE  CLEAN WITH A FEW VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS WHEN VIEWED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, ALL THE TEXTS READS PERFECTLY AND THE COLOURS GOOD.  THE SPINDLE HOLE  IS FINE WITH NO DISCERNABLE WEAR.

THE INNER SLEEVE  HAS A TEAR IN THE BOTTOM SO I WILL SUPPLY WITH A NEW POLY LINED SLEEVE AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL.

ALL IN ALL AN EXCELLENT PRESENTABLE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM WHICH PLAYS REALLY WELL.

LOW START AUCTION!!

PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK ON RECENT ALBUM SALES!

I WILL NOT SEND TO CHINA!

SO ACCORDING TO THE GRADING BELOW I RATE THE SLEEVE EX, THE VINYL AS EX.

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplaced should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

 I  TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ITEM DESCRIPTION IS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE HOWEVER GRADING VINYL IS SUBJECTIVE. I GRADE ON THE BASIS THAT THERE WILL BE A DEGREE OF BACKGROUND NOISE AND THE OCCASIONAL POP, PARTICULARLY ON THE QUIET SECTIONS, BETWEEN TRACKS AND FADE INS/OUTS.SUCH NOISE WILL NOT MEAN A DEGRADING OF QUALITY RATING. THOSE WISHING TO HEAR THEIR MUSIC TOTALLY FREE OF SUCH THINGS PLEASE BUY THE DIGITALLY REMASTERED CD's AND NOT MY ALBUMS!

 I  GRADE THE ALBUMS BY LISTENING TO THEM ON A GOOD QUALITY SYSTEM. THOSE ALBUMS WHICH WILL ATTRACT LOW VALUE MAY BE VISUALLY GRADED AND STATED AS SUCH IN THE DESCRIPTION.

PROVIDED THE ITEM IS RETURNED SAFELY IN THE EXACT CONDITION IN WHICH IT WAS SENT A REFUND WILL BE MADE ON RECIEPT. I WILL NOT EXTEND THIS TO VISUALLY GRADED ALBUMS WHICH SELL FOR £6.00 OR UNDER, OR TO ALBUMS AUDIBLY GRADED UNDER £15.00 I AM HOPING THAT WE WILL NEVER RESORT TO DOING THIS!
