THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BURBANK GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST TWO MINISCULE  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 37 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY HANDLING LINES SEEN WHEN THE LP IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT, AND SOME WISPY HAIRLINES WHEN VIEWED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION

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 DECIDED WITH ALL LISTINGS WHERE PRACTICAL TO RECORD THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. THE EXTRA TIME THIS TAKES ME TO COMPLETE THIS WILL I HOPE ENABLE POTENTIAL BIDDERS TO WANT TO COME BACK TO LISTEN TO MORE OF MY ALBUMS UP FOR AUCTION

THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION OR  BACKGROUND CRACKLES. THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS FAULTLESS. AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS THE ODD LITTLE BIT OF VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE QUITETEST SPOTS AND A COUPLE OF RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE, BUT NOTHING TO MAR THE SUPERB SOUND GENERATED FROM THE VINYL, SO PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

ORIGINAL HEAVY DUTY WB GATEFOLD SLEEVE. COMPLETE WITH THE LARGE DOLLAR BILL

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE GREEN POWDERY SURFACE IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND AMAZINGLY THERE IS NO SIGN OF ANY OF THOSE LITTLE LINES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE. IT IS AN UNBLEMISHED SURFACE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND REMAIN UNRUBBED.THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW WHICH HAS NATURALLY PROTECTED IT AGAINST ALL FORMS OF SHELF WEAR

THE OPENING EDGE IS 100% RAZOR SHARP AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE INTACT. THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE PALE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE GREENS AND YELLOWS ARE PERFECTLY INTACT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PRISTINE PAIR  PANELS. THE REPLICA DOLLAR BILL IS ALSO IN THE SAME MINT CONDITION AS THE REST OF THE SLEEVE

THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS MADE FROM A STRONG CARD AND LINED WITH A SLIP SURFACE. IT IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, AND EVEN THE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE IS PERFECT AND UNDAMAGED

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
