THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY  SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL (NON SOUNDING) HAIRLINES 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 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

ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO BACKGROUND STATIC, EVEN BETWEEN THE TRACKS

I HONESTLY DON'T THINK I HEARD ANY DUST POPS EITHER

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, AND SO IT SHOULD BE ON THIS UNPLAYED?? VINYL

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL 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 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 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 BEING REMOVED

THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND THREE 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 THROUGH ON THE TWO CORNER TIP ENDS ONLY. 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. JUST THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS SHOW A SPECK OF RUBBING

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE, WITH JUST A TINY BIT OF SERRATION TOWARDS THE BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE, AGAIN WITH JUST THAT VERY LIGHT RECORD SHAPE IMPRESSION

THE ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, AND STILL VERY WHITE AND UNCREASED, WITH JUST SOME AGEING TO THE SEAMS

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS!!!

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