THERE WILL BE NO BETTER COPY OF THIS DOUBLE ALBUM ON THE MARKET, BOTH VINYL AND SLEEVE ARE JUST SUPERB

THE LABELS
THE GREY AND PINK LABELS ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION.THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED ON BOTH DISCS AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THEIR TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND EVEN UNDER CLOSE EXAMINATION I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE. I AM CERTAIN THIS SET HAS HAD NO MORE THAN 1-2 PLAYS EVER

THE VINYL
134g / 134g
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TO BE MINT WITH PERHAPS THE VERY VERY BAREST SIGHT OF A HANDLING. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW  WISPY HAIRLINES

 PLAYING THE RECORD:
I HAVE JUST LISTENED TO SECTIONS OF THE ALBUM AND WHAT YOU WILL HEAR WHEN YOU ARE LISTENTING TO THIS SUPERB VINYL IS A PERFECT FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION. THE CLARITY IS CRISP AND CLEAR. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYHWHERE SHOWING THAT THE WHAT PLAY THIS SET HAS HAD HAS BEEN DONE ON A SYSTEM WITH A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THE DISCS PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER

IF I AM TO BE ULTRA PICKY THEN THERE WAS A COUPLE OF SECONDS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS, AND THE VERY VERY OCCASIONAL LITTLE DUST POP.
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE VINYL MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE:
ORIGINAL 'ROBOR' FULLY LAMINATED GATEGOLD SLEEVE
THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A NEAR MINT SLEEVE. IT HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND IS SUPERB!
THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE IS NOT ONE CREASE, CREASE LINE, FOLD OR BEND ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LAMINATE LINE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER-NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AT ALL. NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE ANYWHERE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES SHOW BARELY ANY WEAR AT ALL.
THE SPINE  IS  WONDERFULLY STRONG AND REMAINS UNCRUSHED.  NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ONLY SOME LIGHT RUBBING TO THE CORNERS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT, AND IT'S WORTH ALSO POINTING OUT THAT THE COVER HAS VERY, VERY LITTLE RING WEAR.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS. BOTH FULLY LAMINATED AND GORGEOUS IN COLOUR AND SHINYNESS!

THE INNERS:
BOTH INNER SLEEVES ARE  UNCREASED, NO RECORD SHAPE AND CERTAINLY NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND FREE FROM WRITING TOO.
THE ONLY POINT TO MENTION IS THE LIGHT FOXING IN AREAS.
THEY GRADE EXCELLENT, WITHOUT ANY HESITATION

SO FOLKS-HERE'S IS A BARLEY PLAYED 1st PRESSING WHICH SOUNDS AS GOOD NOW AS IT DID WHEN FIRST BOUGHT, BACK IN 1973.
SUPERB PACKAGE....YOU'LL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND ANY BETTER!
