THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE IS JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 35 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE  NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NOT ON JOT OF VINYL NOISE OR STATIC, AND I HEARD JUST FOUR MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO GET A BETTER COPY OF THIS EVER!!

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS !!! IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED AND DELICATE SHOREWOOD SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE  POWDERY SURFACE.

THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE THAT THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN WAS TO PROTECT IT FROM DAY ONE INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE (AND LEAVE IT THERE). I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THE LP'S ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THE FORESIGHT TO DO JUST THAT. AND HERE WE HAVE WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A  NEAR PERFECT SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE  SURFACE HAS JUST ONE TINY DIMPLE JUST UNDER THE LETTER 'A', BUT THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED AND JUST PRISTINE. 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND AMAZINGLY AS WELL THERE ARE NO SMALL CREASE LINES ON ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES, NOT EVEN THE SPINE.

THERE IS JUST THE BAREST LITTLE DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. APART FROM THAT BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END AS MENTIONED WHICH IS LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST SUPERB. NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS APART FROM THE VERY TIP ENDS WHICH HAVE THE TINIEST SPECKS OF RUB, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE, AND IT IS  TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.NOT EVEN A THUMB NAIL NICK ANYWHERE ALONG IT

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION THAT ANY COLLECTOR TO COULD WISH TO HOPE FOR, JUST ONE MINUSCULE DIMPLE AS ON THE FRONT, AND AGAIN NOT ONE CREASE LINE, AND NOT EVEN NEAR THE EDGES OR SPINE.

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND BARELY HAS A CREASE LINE TO SPEAK OF. IT IS ALSO UNSPLIT

A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS !!!

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