Beatles LP 1970 George Harrison All Things Must Pass First Pressing NM Vinyl!
READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality. They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning. I can’t test-play at the minute. Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.
So with that said…
Very beautiful copy of George’s 1970 LP, “All Things Must Pass.”
Vinyl--- NM, all 6 sides. The entire set looks barely played. Among all six sides, I will say that there may be one extremely light scratch, just in case I can’t see one, how’s that?
Plates--- Z10/ Z10. Z8/ Z10. Z5/ Z10. All six sides have the machine-stamped triangle with the letters, “IAM” inside, making this copy pressed in Scranton.
Box--- Structurally very solid. Box lid is detached. But all of the corners are fully intact without having been reinforced with tape. NO CRUSHED CORNERS. Moderate dirtwear to the front, some sort of scarring on the back. See photos. Spine is really nice and solid. No wear-off of the spine lettering.
Poster--- The poster is included, and is in really nice shape. There are a minimal amount of finger divots, not many at all. Graphics are still bold and colorful. Back of poster is a beautiful white, not having faded over time. There is a tiny seam split at the first intersection of creases. Poster is nice and flat, no tape residue to the back. No pinholes to the corners, either.
It’s obvious that the poster was never hung on a wall, but had instead, lived inside the box for 52 years.
Labels--- NM, all six sides. NO WRITING, NO DIRTWEAR, NO SPINDLE MARKS. All six labels look 1970-brand new. Side 3 label has the title error on track 4 listed as, “Awaiting On You,” as opposed to “Awaiting On You All.”
Inner Sleeves--- All three inner sleeves have some wrinkling and finger divots. Also, all have split seams, but to minor degrees, nothing too bad. Pretty average wear to these inner sleeves, I’d say.
This copy is either going to be a keeper for you, or a very impressive Christmas gift for your Beatles collector.
As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up. Thanks!)
Note: All LP’s ship outside of their album covers in order not to damage the covers during shipment.
CAUTION! There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids. A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.
Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!
(Please note: Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized. The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle. Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix? Thanks!)
