THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT!!!! CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE, EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS THERE ARE NONE TO BE SEEN. THIS LABEL HISTORICALLY SHOWS UP SPIDER LINES VERY EASILY

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS ALBUM CAN BE FOUND IN THIS INCREDIBLE CONDITION

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS STUNNINGLY GLOSSY AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE .

IT IS ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THESE 1967 FIRST PRESS LP'S WERE MADE OF A HEAVY VINYL NOT LIKE THE EARLY TO MID 70'S FLIMSY VINYL.

EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. NO WISPY HAIRLINES, NO HANDLING LINES, JUST A MINT DISC

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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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

I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS IN TWO MINDS AS TO WHETHER TO PLAY THIS UNPLAYED DISC, BUT AS I HAVE OFTEN STATED, UNPLAYED DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN MINT!!!

MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL NOT BE NOTICEABLE I CAN ASSURE YOU

THE POWERHOUSE FIRST PRESS MONO IS JUST SPECTACULAR. LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND NOT ONE SPECK OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO CLICKS AND INCREDIBLY NO DUST POPS AT ALL AT ANY POINT

IT IS WORTH INVESTING THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ALL OF THE SOUNDBITES AND PARTICULARLY THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES TO GET A REALLY GOOD IDEA OF JUST HOW SPECIAL THIS MONO FIRST PRESS ACTUALLY IS

IF I HAD TO BE REALLY PICKY THEN I HEARD A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!

THIS IS IS A REAL MUSEUM PIECE

PLEASE TAKE A LONG LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE E.J.DAY SINGLE SLEEVE

SUPERB CONDITION MONO SLEEVE. THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THE LAMINATE SHINES LIKE NEW, AND THERE IS NO LIFT OR PEEL TO THE SURFACE AT ALL. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS THERE ARE FEW SMALL LAMINATE LINES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND TWO ON THE TOP EDGE BUT INCREDIBLY NONE DOWN THE SPINE, ALSO TWO REALLY SMALL THUMB NAIL LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED RIGHT FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP

 THE SPINE HAS A VERY VERY LIGHT TRACE OF SHELF WEAR, WHERE THE E AND A IN THE WORD CREAM HAVE THE BAREST SPECK OF RUBBING. EVERY WHERE ELSE IT IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.

 THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND REALLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT IT IS, BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, AND REMEMBER THIS IS A45 YEAR OLD RECORD

THE REAR NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS ALSO FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY  MARKS. OR STAINS. NO AGEING AT ALL, AND IT'S CLEAR THE SLEEVE WAS HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND CREASE FREE. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS, AND ONLY THE BAREST SHADE OF AGEING TO THE EDGES.

THE CORRECT INNER SLEEVE DOES NOT HAVE A DATE STAMPED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, BUT HAS THE FOLLOWING PATENT NUMBERS IN THE BOTTOM LEFT (800513 & 973939) , AND JUST 'MADE IN ENGLAND' IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT!!!

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