Description
Beautifully preserved copy of The Electric Light Orchestra's 1977 release of "Out of the Blue" on JET records - JET DP 400. Double LP in a limited blue vinyl format. The albums gatefolded sleeve is remarkably well preserved and opens up beautifully with virtually no sings of wear and tear - there are very minor scuffs to the corners that's all - more than likely consistent with storage over the years.The spine is excellent and there is no evidence of writing, rips,marks or tear etc.The rear sleeve still retains a factory placed sticker showing the label and catalogue number.(removable).As can be seen from the photo the "Special Edition Blue Vinyl" sticker is also still present. The vinyls: Side 1: Retains an excellent glossy sheene,there are a couple of very small surface marks on tracks two and three and occasional random surface marks visible under close scrutiny of which I would best guess are as a result of sleeve insertion/removal. Side 2: Retains an excellent glossy sheene,again as with side one there are a couple of very small surface scratches on tracks one and two and occasional random surface marks visible under close scrutiny of which I would best guess are as a result of sleeve insertion/removal. Side 3: Retains an excellent glossy sheene, it is difficult to detect and marks or scratches on this side that cause me any concern. Side 4: Retains an excellent glossy sheene,very random and minor surface marks, again I suspect consistent with sleeve insertion/removal.
The labels on all four sides are beautifully preserved and present in a nice clean manner.Unfortunately at this time I do not possess any audio equipment to further enhance this appraisal so cannot guarantee 100% sound quality but a visual inspection easily convinces me that it should be very good.
The albums inner sleeves are nice and crisp and clean looking - no writing rips or tears, there is minor creasing on one and the bottoms of both sleeves have slight splits on the bottom attributable to loading the vinyl in and out (common with cardboard), by no means serious and on both counts does not detract from the overall condition of the album (please see final photo where I have tried to illustrate the extent of the splits (about 3 inches) - neither of the vinyl's protrude from the sleeve when inserted. Kindly note, I require a signature against postal receipt in order to ensure safe delivery at a minimal cost,thankyou.
