THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS JUST ONE  SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED

THE VINYL

A STUNNING GLEAMING RECORD THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS. ALL OF THE SHINE AND LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED, AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF 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 FORM 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 LP BEFORE LAYING ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE VERY LIMITED PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

THE DISC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANT DUST POPS OR TICS AT ALL

A STUNNING 1972 ORIGINAL DISC THAT FULLY JUSTIFIES A MINT !!! GRADE

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLEAMING LAMINATED FINISH THAT REALLY SHINES

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS. THERE ARE THREE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE THAT ARE VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE. NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY DING AND THE OTHER THREE CORNERS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUBBING.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FULLY LAMINATED WITH ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP SHOWING LIGHT RUB

THE THIN SPINE IS STILL FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND ONLY THE VERY TIP ENDS TOP AND BOTTOM ARE LIGHTLY WORN

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AT THE VERY BOTTOM.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO FULLY LAMINATED AND IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR OTHER EDGES, AND JUST THE LITTLE DING TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND HAS THE CORRECT 0572 (MAY 1972 DATE PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

IT IS STILL VERY WHITE, AND FLAT WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT WRINKLES TO THE CORNERS. TOTALLY UNSPLIT SEAMS

A MAGNIFICENT UNWORN EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND FULLY JUSTIFIES A NEAR MINT GRADE

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