THE BEATLES
WITH THE BEATLES LP
VINYL
WHAT A PLAYBACK! GRADED OVERALL AT A STRONG VG++ THE AUDIO IS ACTUALLY CLOSER TO A NICE EX+. I WAS LISTENING TO THIS PRIOR TO PUTTING IT OUT AT ONE OF OUR RECORD FAIRS, BUT THE PLAYBACK IS SO GOOD THAT I'VE DECIDED TO LIST IT INSTEAD. PROBABLY THE BEST PLAYING COPY THAT WE'VE HAD FOR MANY YEARS. THERE IS SOME OCCASIONAL FEINT BACKGROUND, BUT IT'S MOSTLY NOTICEABLE ONLY ON INTROS, AND FOR ME DOESN'T DETRACT FROM A NICE CLEAR, LOUD AND DYNAMIC HEAVYWEIGHT ODEON PRESSING. THE CLEAN VINYL HAS SOME STORAGE WEAR AND SOME OBVIOUS HANDLING HAIRLINES - HENCE THE OVERALL GRADE - BUT IT'S JUST VERY LIGHT SURFACE, AND NOTHING THAT YOU CAN FEEL (EXCEPT ON DEAD WAX SIDE 1, WHICH DOESN'T AFFECT PLAY), OR THAT HAS AN OBVIOUS EFFECT ON THE WONDERFUL AUDIO. GREAT PLAYING COPY OF THIS RARE 1963 FIRST PRESS.
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.
