THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE BASE  COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN. THERE ARE 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISCS HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THEY BOTH LOOK FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES, AND ONE SMALL MARK ON SIDE 4 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 THIS ENTIRE DOUBLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM CONVINCED THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE BIDDING ON,

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP'S PLAY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AT ALL

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE DUST TICS, AND THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS REPRODUCTION AS NEAR MINT!!!

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH

THE SLEEVE

STUNNING HOWARDS UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD

THE FIRST ISSUES OF THIS SLEEVE WERE HOUSED IN A 'SILVER FOIL' STYLE GATEFOLD AND MOST COPIES WERE VERY EASILY RUBBED EXPOSING THE BLACK SURFACE UNDERNEATH THE SILVER. THE SECOND ISSUE SLEEVE CORRECTED THAT BY MAKING THE SILVER SURFACE A MATT FINISH. STILL POSSIBLE TO RUB THE SILVER AWAY, BUT MORE DIFFICULT.

THE FRONT SURFACE  IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO FOLD OR BENDS, AND A SILVER SURFACE THAT IS IMMACULATE.

THERE ARE JUST THREE MICROSCOPIC LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS 99% UNRUBBED WITH JUST A SPECK ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE LEFT CORNER AND A TOUCH ON THE RIGHT TIPS

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN NMINT CONDITION, FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, APART FROM THE CATALOGUE NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM WHICH HAS LIGHTLY RUBBED. ONLY THE VERY BOTTOM TIP SHOWS A TOUCH OF RUBBING. THE REST OF THE SPINE IS STILL PROPERLY SILVER

THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY NICK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT LEADING EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPER CONDITION AS THE FRONT.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER  SLEEVES ARE BOTH IN PRISTINE CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNSPLIT, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES. THERE IS SOME PENNED WORDS IN THE TOP CORNER OF EACH ONE. NAMELY THE TITLE OF THE LP AND THE PURCHASE PRICE

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
