THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 3-4 SPIDER LINES ROUND THE HOLE, . THERE ARE STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE FROM THE ORIGINAL PRESS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS JUST PRISTINE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,EXCEPT FOR A TINY AND I DO MEAN BARELY VISIBLE HANDLING MARK, ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A BULB AND NOT IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, BARELY A WISPY HAIRLINE AT ALL. IT JUST HAS NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE. IT GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW ALBUM

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, BECAUSE I 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

THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

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

THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

NO VINYL NOISE AT ALL EITHER

THE VINYL PLAYS JUST SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN 4-5 OR THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC'S PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!  IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT, AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS A LAMINATED FRONT , UNLAMINATED REAR E.J .DAY SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND  FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR EVEN BENDS.

THERE ARE TWO SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, SIX ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE OPENING EDGE HAS TWO AND A SMALL THUMB LINE, BUT THE MAIN BODY OF THE SLEEVE IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES

THE TOP LEFT CORNER HAS A SMALL DING TO IT

THE TOP EDGE IS STILL FULLY LAMINATE AND THIS RUNS UNINTERRUPTED FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THE BOTTOM EDGE JUST HAS THE RIGHT CORNER LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND AGAIN IS UNRUBBED APART FROM THE BAREST SPECK TO THE LETTER 'S' OF BEE GEES, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE 

THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO STILL VERY SHARP CONDITION, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF  THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE IS STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE UNUSUALLY SO, BECAUSE MOST HAVE SOILED BADLY OF HEAVILY AGED. THIS ONE ONLY HAVE THE BAREST SHADOW OF AGEING TO THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THE MILDEST HANDLING SIGNS.

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND APART FROM A LITTLE BROWNING THOROUGH AGE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASE TO THE CORNERS

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

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