THE BEATLES - PLEASE PLEASE ME

PLAYS  MINT MINUS

MINT MINUS SLEEVE

A TRULY MAGNIFICENT COPY

THE RECORD 

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN TOP  CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.

THERE ARE JUST AFEW TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT

UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS ALMOST PRISTINE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST AND WISPIEST SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND ONE VERY FINEAND AGAIN NON SOUNDING  ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINE

THE TEST PLAY

THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE IS JUST INCREDIBLE. TOTALLY FIRST PRESS SOUND

NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO POPS OR TICS AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP AND BE THE JUDGE OF IT'S QUALITY

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO PERFORMANCE MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST I HAVE EVER SEEN

STUNNING E.J DAY & CO SLEEVE IN AMAZING CONFITION

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE.

THERE ARE THREE VERY SMALL PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, SIX MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE VERY SMALL THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP ENDS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB

THE SPINE IS MINT. FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECT IN EVER WAY. THE  ENDS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY VERY RARE. AS MOST ARE HEAVILY SOILED. IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE USUAL HANDLING SIGNS VISIBLE. ALL OF THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY STUCK IN PLACE, AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE BLACK SURFACES AT ALL
YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A CLEANER ONE THAN THIS

THE ORIGINAL  INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOTALLY UNSPLIT CONDITION, BARELY SHOWS ANY AGEING

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

IT IS JUST THAT GOOD!!!

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