THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE  SILVER LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND  RED BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE DISC. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A COUPLE OF WISPY  HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN.

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

ISLAND VINYL IS NOTORIOUS FOR 'VINYL NOISE' WITH MOST PRESSINGS HAVING THIS .HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE NOISE FREE PRESSING

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

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER

NO CLICKS OR TICS, AND NO VINYL NOISE EITHER

THERE IS NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AT THE START OF EACH SIDE, PLUS I CAN HONESTLY STATE THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

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

THE SLEEVE

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED FRAGILE 1ST PRESS EMBOSSED SILVER SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE SILVER SURFACE AND THUS NO COLOUR LOSS AT ALL.THIS IS VERY RARE BECAUSE THIS SILVER TOP SURFACE IS USUALLY FOUND RING WORN AND HEAVILY CREASED.BUT THIS COPY HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER AND HAS ESCAPED ALL THE USUAL DAMAGE

SO A GLEAMING MIRROR LIKE SILVER SURFACE THAT HAS ONLY ONE VERY LIGHT IMPRESSION LINE RUNNING DOWN ABOUT TWO INCHES FROM THE LETTER 'B' IN BAD COMPANY.

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WOULD USUALLY BE FOUND WITHOUT HARDLY ANY SILVER SURFACE LEFT, BUT ON THIS SLEEVE THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT!! ALL OF THE SILVER INCLUDING THE CORNER TIPS ARE IMMACULATE.

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VIRTUALLY AS PRISTINE WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP AND ONE TINY CHIP TO THE REAR EDGE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER

THE SPINE IS JUST AS NEW. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE SILVER SURFACE IS THERE, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PERFECT.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND TOTALLY AS NEW. NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG EITHER EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE  IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE. THERE IS THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A 100% PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS. THE GATEFOLD WON'T LAY FLAT AND THIS IS ENTIRELY BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE PLASTIC OUTER AND THERE JUST HASN'T BEEN ANY ATTEMPT MADE TO OPEN THE GATEFOLD 

THE ORIGINAL BLACK POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION WITH BARELY A WRINKLE ON THE SURFACE

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!!

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