THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITEBAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.  THERE THERE ARE APPROX 10 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE 1970 PRESS HAS HAD VERY LIMITED PLAY IN 41 YEARS

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL  IS AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS YOU COULD WANT AND LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. EVEN WHEN PUT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES. THIS IS A SUPERB PRISTINE VINYL

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 JUST KNOW THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON,

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTOTION ANYWHERE, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS ALL THE WAY. JUST CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC OR VINYL NOISE

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I DON'T BELIEVE A CLEANER COPY EXISTS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED AND HEAVILY TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM E.J DAY AND CO.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN A REAL COLLECTIBLE CONDITION BECAUSE THE BROWN SURFACE IS SO EASILY WORN THROUGH, AND MOST COPIES LOOK TERRIBLE

I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THERE MIGHT BE A TEMPTATION WITH SOME PEOPLE TO PUT A NEWER SLEEVE WITH THE ORIGINAL VINYL, AND WHILST THEY LOOK AND FEEL ALMOST IDENTICAL, THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT MAKES AN ORIGINAL DIFFERENT FROM A LATTER ISSUE

FIRST AND MOST OBVIOUS IS THE COLOUR ON AN ORIGINAL IS A LIGHTER SHADE OF BROWN. AND EVEN IF YOU ARE STILL NOT SURE, THEN OPEN THE GATEFOLD AND IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER THERE IS A LOT OF TEXT ABOVE WHICH IS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER 2401001 CANNOT BE MISTAKEN AND A LATER ISSUE SLEEVE WILL HAVE K50001 THERE.

THIS IS THE BEST AND MOST PRISTINE COPY OF THIS SLEEVE I HAVE EVER HAD TO PLEASURE TO OFFER

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT, AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS JUST ABOUT IMMACULATE

THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AT ANY POINT ON THE SURFACE, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS EITHER.

INCREDIBLY THERE ARE JUSTTHREE NEAR INVISIBLE AND MINUSCULE LINES NEAR THE SPINE.

IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE TO BE IN THIS STUNNING CONDITION. THERE IS ONE TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AND THE BAREST SHADOW OF VERY VERY LIGHT RUB TO THE BROWN ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE

WHAT IS TOTALLY AMAZING IS THAT THE GOLD LETTERING IS 100% UNRUBBED, AND UNWORN AND EVERY LETTER IS IMMACULATE AND AS NEW. THIS IS VERY RARE ON THIS SLEEVE INDEED

ON MOST COPIES YOU WILL FIND THAT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SHEFLWORN DOWN TO THE CARD, BUT ON THIS COPY THERE IS JUST THE BAREST FLECK OR TWO OW WHITE SHOWING THROUGH. AGAIN I HAVE SEEN NO BETTER COPY

THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND PRISTINE. NO SQUASHING AT ALL, AND THE BROWN SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND UNRUBBED . AND EVEN THE GOLD LETTERED 'DEJA VU' IS IMMACULATE

THE OPENING EDGE IS 100% RAZOR SHARP AND IT'S HERE WE BEGIN TO SEE THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE AS THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL NICKS AT ALL ANYWHERE ON EITHER EDGE.

THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT IS JUST AS PRISTINE AS I HAVE EVER SEEN ONE, WITH 99% OF THE DELICATE BROWN SURFACE INTACT WITH AGAIN JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF THE LIGHTEST RUB TO THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THE SPINE.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE UNRUBBED INNER PANELS. IT IS ALSO HERE THAT THE ORIGINAL E.J.DAY DETAILS ARE PRINTED ALONG WITH THE RED AND PLUM ISSUE CATALOGUE NUMBER

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION, WITH JUSY A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASES IN THE TOP CORNERS WHERE THE RECORD SHAPE IS. THE SEAMS ARE ALL UNSPLIT AND THE TOP EDGE UNWORN.

THE DIE CUT HOLE IS UNBLEMISHED

THIS IS THE GENUINE ORIGINAL INNER FOR THIS SLEEVE AS THE DATE IS STAMPED ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER 06/70 (JUNE 1970) EVEN THOUGH THE LP WAS RELEASED IN MARCH, THIS WAS THE INNER USED

THIS SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS WITHN EASE!!!!!

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