THIS LP HAS COME FROM AN INCREDIBLE RECORD COLLECTION, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FROM THE VERY DAY OF PURCHASE BY PLACING THEM INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES. THEREFORE VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE RECORDS THAT I WILL BE LISTING FROM THIS COLLECTION WILL HAVE MINT, MINT MINUS OR AT THE WORST NEAR MINT SLEEVES!

THE INNER SLEEVES HAVE ALL BEEN KEPT FLAT AND UNWRINKLED AND FURTHER ENHANCE THE COLLECTION.

THE VINYLS ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE, WITH A FEW HAVING NEVER BEEN PLAYED, AND AGAIN THE GRADING’S VARY BETWEEN MINT AND NEAR MINT...NOTHING LOWER.

THE RECORDS WERE PLACED INTO THOSE RECORD BOXES WITH HANDLES ON THEM, ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN KEPT AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT OR SUNLIGHT AND COLD.

FINALLY THERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER TITLES IN THIS COLLECTION, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK DAILY FOR THE LATEST FROM THIS AMAZING SELECTION OF 197O'S ROCK ALBUMS

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 ARE JUST 3-4 MINUSCULE SPIDERS LINE BY EACH HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS VINYL IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL  IS  CLEAN AND MARK FREE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES VISIBLE.

 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, AND 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 DISTORTION ANYWHERE,MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS ALL THE WAY. JUST CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL

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

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE JUST THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE STUFF, AND A THE ODD SPECK OF LIGHT BACKGROUND

I HEARD 2-3 LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

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

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR  MINT

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

SO HAVING SAID ALL OF THAT, THIS IS A CORRECT 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE TO MATCH THE VINYL

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND IN STUNNING ORIGINAL CONDITION. BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE TEXTURED SURFACE THEREFORE THE BROWN SURFACE IS STILL A VERY DEEP BROWN. THERE IS THE TINIEST SPECK OF WHITE ON TWO OF THE CORNER TIPS ONLY.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND ONLY TWO MICROSCOPIC LINES NEAR THE SPINE . NO LINES ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE PASTE ON PHOTOGRAPH IS ALSO IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION AND remains UNBLEMISHED. THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION

THE TOP EDGE HAS A FEW MINUSCULE PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE HEAVY TEXTURED SURFACE  AND THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT THE BOTTOM EDGE WITH A SPECK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE, 100% UNSQUASHED WITH NEARLY ALL OF THE COLOUR RETAINED , JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH, AND SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE REAR EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME STUNNING STATE AS THE FRONT.  JUST A FEW WHITE SPECKS SHOWING THROUGH THE RICH BROWN SURFACE AT THE BOTTOM, AND ONLY TWO TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE ON EITHER FRONT OR BACK SURFACES OF THIS SLEEVE.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE  POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT  AND STILL VERY WHITE AND UNCREASED

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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