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 AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY 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

THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO BACKGROUND STATIC, APART FROM A SPLIT SECOND OR TWO BETWEEN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD JUST THREE TINY DUST POPS / TICS IN THE LINKING GROOVE BETWEEN TRACK 2 AND THREE ON SIDE ONE

A VERY CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUNDING 1ST PRESS OF THIS OUTSTANDING ALBUM

THE PERFORMANCE I AM SURE YOU WILL AGREE ONCE YOU HAVE HEARD THE RECORDINGS IS MAGNIFICENT,

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FLIMSY NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR  DEEP CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS

THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF RUBBING, AND PARTICULARLY NO RING WEAR.THERE IS THE BAREST IMPRESSION OF RECORD SHAPE (just along the top edge) ONLY IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT. THIS IS ENTIRELY BECAUSE THE LP HAS JUST SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 38 YEARS WITHOUT HARDLY EVER  BEING REMOVED.

THERE ARE JUST FOUR MICROSCOPIC LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND JUST ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS THE BAREST SPECK OR TWO OF WHITE SHOWING AT THE RIGHT CORNER .

THIS IS ALSO A FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE  DENOTED BY THE SPINE WORDING APPEARING ALONG THE TOP EDGE AS WELL AS THE SPINE

THE SPINE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IT IS A VERY THIN SPINE, BUT EVEN SO IT'S UNSQUASHED. THE BOTTOM TIP HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE,

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, AGAIN THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR. ONE TONY LINE ACROSS'S THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP, ANDJUST A COUPLE ON THE EDGES

THE ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, AND STILL VERY WHITE . A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASE LINES ACROSS THE TOP CORNER ON ONE SIDE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS!!
