The Beatles: From Then to You VERY RARE EX 1970 LP Rare incorrect matrices

 

Year of Release: 1970

Label: Apple

 

Info: Original fanclub release, compiling all the Beatles Christmas flexis onto one LP. Interestingly, the original master tapes had been "mis-laid" and so this compilation was created using actual flexi discs belonging to fan club secretary Freda Kelly which results in sound quality as expected from a flexi. This version of the LP has incorrect mastering numbers stamped on each side-- the tracks play as listed on the labels, but the deadwax mastering number stamps are reversed: LYN-2154 is stamped on into the deadwax on Side One, and LYN-2153 is stamped into Side Two.

Condition

Sleeve: Wear, some spotting and creasing to corners, sticker removal marks/damage and small seamsplit top

Disc(s): EX+ (uncleaned, looks and plays lovely )

Grading of vinyl and Sleeve

We use the UK Record Collector Magazine grading guide ? this is the accepted standard for UK used vinyl. Here it is explained in detail:

MINT (M):?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 Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT (EX):?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 (VG):?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 (G):?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.?

As well as the above grades,?Near Mint?(NM)?is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner?and is?assumed to have been played by them, or if it is ex shop stock and may have minor storage wear on the sleeve.

For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and ? are also often added to the grading.

In addition to the?basic grading, any individual faults will be noted separately such as if an otherwise excellent cover has a name written on it, or if there is a seam split etc.
