GEORGE HARRISON'S - ALL THINGS MUST PASS

UK 1ST PRESS COMPLETE SET

IN INCREDIBLE BARELY PLAYED CONDITION

 MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO

NEAR MINT BOX AND INNERS AND LARGE POSTER

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE 6 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE UNWORN. . SIDES ONE AND TWO HAVE 3-4 SPIDER LINES INDICATION THAT THIS LP WAS PLAYED MORE THAN THE OTHERS AS THE OTHER TWO DISCS HAVE ONLY ONE LITTLE SPIDER LINE EACH

THE VINYL

EXAMINING EACH DISC IN TURN THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THEY GLEAM LIKE BRAND NEW VINYLS. EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN ONE OR TWO TINY WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN ON A COUPLE OF SIDES

THE TEST PLAY

ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE PERFORMANCE FROM THESE DISCS

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE  THIS SET WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

ALL THREE DISCS PLAY WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. NOT ONE JOT ANYWHERE

NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL AT ANY POINT DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

A 54 YEAR OLD SET THAT HAS AT MOST A REW RANDOM SECONDS OF THE LIGHTEST AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING SEGMENTS, AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES, CERTAINLY NO MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF VINYL NOISE THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB. TAKE A LISTEN TO THE OPENING TRACK ON SIDE 5 TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
SO A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE SPECKS OF NOISE OVER ALL SIX SIDES IS IN MY BOOK OUTSTANDING

I CANNOT GIVE THE AUDIO ANY OTHER GRADE THAN MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF, DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT

THE SLEEVE

WELL A BOX, NOT A SLEEVE. HOW HARD IS THIS TO FIND IS COLLECTIBLE CONDITION? NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. FIRSTLY YOU HAVE MOST OF THESE BOXES WITH TORN CORNERS AND SECONDLY THE POROUS SURFACE IS USUALLY VERY BADLY SOILED.

THIS BOX IS BETTER THAN ALMOST EVERY ONE I HAVE SOLD OVER THE YEARS

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THIS USUALLY COMES MOTTLED , GRUBBY, STAINED, HAS STICKER REMOVAL MARKS ON IT, AND GENERALLY LOOKS SHABBY. HERE WE HAVE A NEAR PRISTINE EXAMPLE.

THE GREY SURFACE IS IN SUPREME CONDITION. NOT ONE FINGERMARK, NOT ONE STAIN.
THE TOP LEFT AND RIGHT CORNERS HAVE WHAT LOOK TO BE VERY LIGHT DULL OUTLINES OF WHERE PERHAPS A STICKER ONCE SAT

IT'S  PERFECT WITH THE VARIOUS SHADES OF GREY AND BLACK RICH AND VIBRANT. NO NICKS TO THE BORDERS OF THE PASTE ON IMAGE
I SEE ONE VERY MILD DARK LINE SITTING BETWEEN THE GAP IN THE TREES, BUT THATS IT

ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE,MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY ARE NOT SPLIT. THERE IS NOT ONE SCUFF TO ANY OF THEM THEY ARE ALL JET BLACK

THE SPINES AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO UNMARKED.THE EDGES ARE FINISHED IN A JET BLACK MATT BUT TEXTURED FINISH WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND SHELFWORN, BUT HERE THE BLACK IS STILL PERFECTLY BLACK AND UNRUBBED. THE LEFT SPINE WITH THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, WITH THE GOLD LEAF  JUST IMMACULATE AND EVERY LETTER UNRUBBED.
THE ONLY LITTLE SCUFF SITS ON THE TOP LEFT REAR CORNER TIP

THE BASE OF THE BOX IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION, AND THIS IS USUALLY SCRATCHED AND RUBBED, BUT NOT ON THIS SET. 

OPENING THE BOX AND LOOKING INSIDE AT THE PANELS UNDER THE LID, AGAIN THE STORY IS THE SAME. THE ORANGE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE HAS BEEN NO BLEMISH TO ANY PART OF IT. ALL THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECT. THE WEBBING THAT MAKES THE SPINE HINGE IS PERFECT, AND ALL OF THE INTERNAL CORNERS ARE PRISTINE

INSIDE THE BOX THE THREE ALBUMS ORIGINALLY CAME HOUSED INSIDE THREE VERY VULNERABLE ROUGH TEXTURED INNER SLEEVES THAT IN MOST CASES HAVE SPLIT ALONG THE SEAMS. ON THIS COPY THE GREY AND PURPLE INNERS HAVE NO SEAM SPLITS WHATSOEVER AND THE GREEN ONE HAS THE TINIEST LITTLE PIN HOLE SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE 

THE HUGE POSTER WHICH IS OFTEN MISSING FROM THIS SET IS IN MINT CONDITION. EVERY FOLD LINE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS OBVIOUS WHEN LOOKING AT IT, THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLACED ON ANY WALL

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS BOX NEAR MINT  WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT

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