I AM GOING TO BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEK A SMALL BATCH OF VERY HIGHLY GRADED COLLECTIBLE VINYLS. MOST ARE IN UNPLAYED / ONE PLAY MINT/ MINT MINUS CONDITION. AND WOULD BE CONSIDERED FINAL UPGRADE COPIES 

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND WHITE STEREO LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.THE REDAREAS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED, WHILST THE WHITE SECTIONS ARE PURE WHITE AND UNMARKED .THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN, AND A CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE SHOWING THAT THIS 43 YEAR OLD VINYL HAS JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THE DISC SHOWS NO SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. A PERFECT MINT SURFACE IN EVERY WAY

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. 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 ACTUALLY HEAR THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE TO MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.IT IS JUST PERFECT ALL THE WAY THROUGH

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES BECAUSE THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS QUITE BRILLIANT, AND THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM, ALL OF THEM FREE FROM ANY NOISE.

I AM REALLY DELIGHTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VINYL AS I WAS EXPECTING A LITTLE OF THE DECCA VINYL NOISE THAT IS INHERENT IN MANY DISCS OF THIS AGE, BUT NO SUCH PROBLEM. IF YOU ARE A COLLECTOR OF RARE PROGRESSIVE MUSIC AND ALBUMS, THEN THIS I BELIEVE IS A FINAL UPGRADE COPY

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS.

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A FEW RANDOM SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF PLACES AND NO DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SOUND QUALITY MINT

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!!!!

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS ROBERT STACE LAMINATED GATEFOLD UK SLEEVE

HERE WE HAVE A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION

THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE PERFECT LAMINATE WHICH RUNS UNBROKEN FROM CORNER TO CORNER , AND NO RUBBING EVEN TO ANY OF THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE WHICH USUALLY HAS SERIOUS SHELF WEAR AND RUBBING, IS IN THIS CASE IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE, AND NO RUBBING TO THE TOP OR BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND IS AS GOOD TODAY AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AGAIN GLEAMING LAMINATE, AND ZERO LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES

ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS NO EVIDENCE OF RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AND  MINT INNER PAIR OF PANELS

THE POLY LINED INNER IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNSPLIT . TOTALLY WHITE A FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR WRINKLES

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT !!!!!
