THE RECORD

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL BLACK AND SILVER LABELS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION.

THE 'GRAMOPHONE CO' RIM WORDING DEMOTES THIS AS A 1971 PRESSING
THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND SILVER LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES ON ONE SIDE AND JUST TWO ON THE OTHER SHOWING JUST WHY THIS SUPERB VINYL IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT

THE TEST PLAY

THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE 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.

 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 IS FLAWLESS!!!

GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. AND NO VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES

I DON'T BELIEVE I EVEN HEARD ANY DUST POPS THOUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

IF YOU WANT A REALLY STUNNING COPY OF RUBBER SOUL THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN TO THIS COPY

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO MINT 

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. 

THERE IS ONE LONG CREASE LINE RUNNING FROM THE BOTTOM EDGE UP TO RINGO'S LIP. THIS IS IUNVISIBLE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS HELD DIRECTLY UPRIGHT, AND ONLY VISIBLE WHEN ANGLED

THERE ARE TWO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE.TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS ONE SMALL STRESS LINE BY JOHN'S HEAR

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ON BOTH SURFACES, UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND WHICH OFTEN LOSES THE LAMINATE, BUT THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND INCREIBLY NO RECORD SHAPE

THE WHITE NON LAMINATED SURFACE SHOWS IS IN SUPERB CONDITION

THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO PRISTINE

THE ORIGINAL ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT MINUS CONDITION.BARELY A WRINKLE AND LIGHTLY AGED AND UNSPLIT, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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