THE BEATLES - A HARD DAYS NIGHT
STAGGERING MINT MINUS AUDIO
1ST PRESS MONO - 1964
OUTSTANDING MINT MINUS SLEEVE
FINAL UPGRADE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN VERY NICE CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .
THERE ARE 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS IMMACULATE IN DAYLIGHT. TOTALLY MARK FREE
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I SEE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS MONO ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY
THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
THE EARLY MONO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE. MANY MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALBUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL HAS NONE WHATSOEVER
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE , NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS
SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. IT HAS BEEN HOUSED FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE INSIDE A PROTECTIVE OUTER SLEEVE AND THIS HAS STOPPED ANY CREASING TO THE SURFACE .
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE CORNERS ARE TOTALLY SQUARE AND SHARP.
THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, NONE ON THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE. NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ANYWHERE
NO RING WEAR OR ANY RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. THE LAMINATE RUNS UNBLEMISHED FROM CORNER TO CORNER
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINTCONDITION. THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED EVEN THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE 100% UNRUBBED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND NOT EVEN ANY SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ANGLE IT INTO A STRONG LIGHT
AN EXTREMELY WHITE SURFACE WITH JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF HANDLING / AGEING TO THE OPENING EDGE, AND A TINY LIGHT BROWN MARK JUST ABOVER THE BOTTOM EDGE
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND A CLEANER AND BETTER EXAMPLE
THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ABSOLUTELY AS NEW
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD
