THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PASTEL GREEN HARVEST  EVERYTHING IS AS MINT AS YOU WOULD WANT IT. THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN ON A TURNTABLE SINCE 1970

THE VINYL

SUPERB FIRST PRESS DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS MARKS OR HANDLING SIGNS IN NORMAL LIGHT AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH TO ENABLE ANY BIDDER THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON. I AM CONVINCED THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR EBAY SALE OF QUALITY VINYL

THIS LIKE ANY ORCHESTRAL PIECE IS FULL OF SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES, AND IS MOST PRONE TO ANY BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER. LOUD ROCK CAN SOMETIMES MASK LIGHT BACKGROUND BUT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC CANNOT

THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THIS ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY

IT PLAYS SUPERBLY AND  WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, THERE ARE A FEW VERY VERY LIGHT RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS DURING THE FIRST 5 MINS ON SIDE ONE AND A COUPLE OF TINY SPOTS OF STATIC, BUT AFTER THIS IT PLAYS TO A MINT STANDARD FOR THE REST OF THE SIDE . SIDE 2 HAS A FEW LITTLE POPS AROUND THE 11 MINUTE MARK AND AGAIN APART FROM THE ODD SECOND OF STATIC PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE VINYL NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

ORIGINAL LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.

THE LAMINATE SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND INCREDIBLY NONE OF THE SMALL LINES THAT USUALLY APPEAR NEAR THE SPINE. NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE EITHER AND NO THUMB LINES ANWHERE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT

THE SPINE IS  PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT, AND ITS TOTALLY FLAT WITH ALL OF THE TYPE FACE LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. 2 TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INTERIOR

THE ORIGINAL  HARVEST ADVERTISING INNER IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. NOT A CREASE LINE ON IT ANYWHERE. NO RECORD SHAPE AND CERTAINLY NO SPLITS

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