O_O

Side 1's run-in grooves are silent and ultra smooth without any crackles or clicks and any low level static is not audible before
the massive impact of power and audio sharpness of the UK mono mix, is heard on the intro for the opening track "Drive My Car".
Paul's superb bass guitar lines are very prominent, the percussion was a major part of this track, sounding amazingly crisp and in
the 'real to life' authenticity analogue sound really delivers. It amuses to think this staggering in-built volume could be in anyway
thought to be less than another pressing. I am afraid financial gain by claiming UK Beatles labels, covers and the one I find the
most apalling of all, the sound itself, will long continue to be used to entice collectors. I know my records will perform exactly
as it 'says on the tin,' because I am not influenced or swayed by stamped digits, when I find I have bought a record with inferior
or substandard sound reproduction, unless a major rarity, which few Beatles LP's are, I am fully prepared to accept it can never
be re-sold, regardless of the visual appearance. The superb vocals ring out in perfectly defined audio, with the piano played by
Paul pushed way up in the mix. This is indeed George Martin's mono mix being heard and enjoyed in all it's glory, this incredible
opening track has a very strong r&b rhythm, the "beep beep" backing vocals are stunningly clear, a wonderful pressing like this
is not about volume alone, it places listeners in No.2 Studio, Abbey Road in 1965. In close up detail you can hear every single
individual part of this song, or you can just let a colossal impact submerge you in the audio magic of The Beatles, I enjoy a bit of
both! The ending fades into a totally silent gap, no crackles or static,I always include any natural static but there's nothing and
I am straining my ears to check because this is one of those deeply tracks starting. Miraculously it means John's single acoustic
guitar intro to his beautiful "Norwegian Wood", is heard in superbly clean and clear sound. There simply is no actual static or
surface/needle sound, George Harrison's sitar is in pristine audio and John Lennon's incredible vocal has a real cutting edge to
it, add the powerful mono mix into the equation and this wondeful melody is just staggering to hear! If anyone reading this has
ever tried to play a record for sound grading, they will understand the strange paradox of hearing such amazing sounding music,
yet trying to ignore magnificent audio, instead straining your ears for the slightest hint....a record is producing such fantastic
sound quality. I'm used to but it does seem quite bizzare on "Norwegian Wood" while this is plays with sheer audio perfection!
When a record lacks the common noise or irritations and has such astounding sound as this stunning record, I get to thoroughly
enjoy my most loved Beatles songs. A major reason for being so objective and obsessed with finding perfection on original vinyl,
the final note of the sitar fades away naturally into near enough silent grooves, before Paul's outstanding "You Won't See Me"
begins with an ultra clean intro. I describe exactly what I am hearing and this happens to be an amazing record, another superb
track in maximum sound quality, the backing harmonised "la-la-la-la" after the lines in the verses are as crystal clear as Paul's
brilliant lead vocals are. As well as standard guitars, the instruments include a piano and a Hammond organ, on worn out vinyl,
they become the victims of deteriorating sound. Not here! They are heard with their original full strength signals, still with the
natural edge undulled from heavy plays. The fade-out is perfectly clear of any needle sound so another smooth as silk gap gives
a wonderfully clean intro to the sublime "Nowhere Man", as I said, this is some record! A stunning and deeply beautiful acapella
or vocals only intro, and from the first seconds to the last, this has just awesome sound, mega sharp definition on the vocals for
this song is the ultimate way to hear it, without one second of any static or surface sound. A very emphatic powerful mono mix
tends to magnify one of, if not the John Lennon's greatest ever melodic vocal performances. John had introduced his personal
experiences into songs, giving him additional inspiration for his writing beautiful melodies and challenging lyrics. I am trying
to write an informative but concise description with sound quality the priority, or I indulge my fanatical love of discussing the
recording sessions and out-takes etc. So far so good, I cannot avoid the superlatives for such a famtastic record, the backing
harmonies are just breathtaking! Complete silence in the gap also waits for the intro to the first of the two great songs George
Harrison contributed, "Think For Yourself ". Once again heard with the same stunning audio sharpness, with George's 'fuzzed'
lead guitar in the clearest and cleanest audio, if you listen closely there's a very clever piece of percussion, just a little detail
now and again is impossible to avoid. After the verses, a shuffling drum part is closely followed by four beats on a tambourine.
This record really is That Sharp! The mono sound on an unworn 1965 pressing is sensational! Absolutely silent grooves run
into a perfectly clean intro to "The Word", one of the last songs written as time was running out, these are very mature lyrics,
not that far from the 1967 message of, "All You Need Is Love", the sheer clarity on the George Martin played harmonium is a
the ideal indication of how capable this1965 record is of such immaculate sound reproduction. Their vocals are astonishingly
projected in the mono mix, reinforcing how these music signals are the equivilent of a just pressed record. Please bear in mind
how every second of this first side has been as perfect as you could wish to hear as we approach the last track. It requires such
a stunning record to validate previously made comments about static /surface on the same track of every pressing ever made.
"Think For Yourself" fades into a near silent/silent gap, a single acoustic guitar intro to Paul's very atmospheric "Michelle" is
exceptionally clear but instantly I hear the same low level static there in 1965. There is in fact very little surface sound or as
static found on "Michelle", but I insist on including the most minor surface sound, while stressing how it is minor and background
as I have found on every original/first pressing, it varies in degree and this is really minimal. Eveything musically is in the same
stunning audio sharpness, I am trying to keep a distance from the term, 'first pressing' and it such a shame we have a contorted
view of an otherwise uncomplicated Beatles pressing. Static or not, a great sounding "Michelle", now to try and keep Side 2 down
to the same reasonably minimal amount of text after my extended headings!

if yr bummed about missing that sealed copy of Stadium Events this copy's only at $14k:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110499541029

^^ spent a few minutes reading about this this morning, and it is SHOCKING

wtf is going on w/this video game?!

US $800,200.00

that's just people having fun now.

its what happens when 28,000 people view an ebay auction.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadium_Events
estimated that 200 copies reached consumers before being recalled.

i mean, the other sealed one actually did sell for 40K though! i wonder what this one will bring when the bullshit clears...

i can't imagine spending that amount of loot on ANYTHING, but the idea that someone would drop $40,000 for a cheap-ass video game is just O_O.

it's pretty much the same as someone dropping a ton of cash on a rare stamp or coin or something; thank god the rare record market isn't this absurd.

what did that Velvets acetate end up going for? like 75k wasn't it? and it doesn't get much rarer than that

I'd buy that for a dollar

well, damn. wouldn't the 78 be rarer though?

4 minutes to go!

Actually, isn't this too pristine/new?

I'm not doubting it's authenticity, more that half the interest in objects like this is the history of the item, not just the grooves themselves.

this guy keeps posting on facebook about how he's gonna sell this for $600: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270549887887&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

also, notice his feedback rating of 5. good luck dude.

lol @ "this record is a piece of history'

i might start buying lots of 78s on ebay and keeping some/selling the rest-- yes or no?

hey, i met a guy who used to be a part of the whole scary big time 78 collector buyer/seller crowd. he sold his entire collection. i could have listened to him talk about the 78 world forever.

78 selling can be a slog, i'll bet. you could make more money if you took a crash course in collectable classical vinyl. that stuff is still everywhere.

if i start buying & selling classical vinyl i can pretty much say goodbye to my shelf space.

There's no point having a shelf with nothing on it.

There have been malicious rumours that I sell stolen goods.

To protect my good name and reputation, I have documented below how and where I obtained the hanging chairs that I'm selling today.

Until January 2010 I had worked for one of Englands largest hammock makers for over 30 years.

Due to a misunderstanding at the 2009 xmas party I lost my job.

My boss's attractive 19 year old daughter having had too much to drink felt slightly unwell. So to protect her reputation I suggested that she should come with me to one of the upstairs offices to sober up.

Unfortunately while in the office she brought up most of the alcohol she had drunk and soiled her blouse and skirt in the process.

Not wanting her to get into trouble with her dad I suggested that she should quickly remove the soiled garments and said I would clean them in the washroom for her.

While removing her skirt, she slipped and fell over one of the desks. I immediately learnt over her to help her up.

At which point her father (My Boss) came into the office and got totally the wrong impression and sacked me on the spot.

About a month later, I was tidying up my bedside drawer when I found some keys to the warehouse that I had forgotten to return. So later that night (about 3am) I decided to return them.

When I got to the warehouse, I thought I'd better check if they were the correct keys (They were).

In the warehouse there were 100's of hanging chairs waiting for despatch to customers. Purely as a prank I thought I would hide them.

I hid them in my garden shed.

Now I want to return them, but I can't. My ex boss wouldn't believe it was just a prank. I haven't forgotten how he over reacted at the xmas party.

Now I'm forced to sell the bloody things on ebay.

incredible story. A+

I really want this. I don't want to pay $100+ for this (which it most likely will end up being), so I'm not even going to waste my time bidding on it. But damn.

good album

There's a Harvest twofer with that and Joy Of A Toy that might be a bit cheaper if you find it.

right but I assume van smack wants that because it's the first pressing? like you could get an early single lp edition on Harvest that *does* have the EMI logo for a lot less than that listing is going for..

Van, Popsike has one going for around £33 recently, admittedly slightly less pristine than this one, so you never know...

Thanks for the heads up folks. I guess I could only dream that one day I could find a pristine copy of my favorite ayers album. Funds are tight right now.

One day I will find it somewhere at my local shops...

IAN, do you have this/have you heard this? curious...
