    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. 

    THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. 

    THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE..  

    THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS VINYL HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED FOR 50 YEARS

    THE VINYL

    THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. 

    THIS IS A FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLES

    PLAYING THE RECORD


    THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.

    THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS

    INCREDIBLY NONE OF THE USUAL PYE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, JUST THE VERY ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

    I HEARD NO MORE THAN 5-6 OF THE MOST  TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT

    PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

     

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    FIRST ISSUE SHOREWOOD GATEFOLD SLEEVE

     

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, WITH NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE  COLOURS WHATSOEVER, AND A BLACK BORDER THAT ONLY SHOWS A LITTLE GREYING TO THE DUSTY SURFACE

     

    THERE IS ONLY ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

    THE  CORNER TIPS HAVE A DOT OF RUB ON THEM

    THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS HAVING A SPECK OF RUB

    THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON BOTH RIGHT TIP ENDS

    THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECT. STILL UNFADED UNLIKJE MOST COPIUES TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. 

    THE COLOURS RUN NICELY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND THE FINE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE, ON THE BOTTOM TIP END ONLY.

    THE OPENING EDGES ARE BOTH VERY SHARP

    THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN THE FRONT 

    NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE EITHER

    OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A  PRISTINE PAIR OF  PANELS.

    THE TWO BOOKLETS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. FLAT AND UNCREASED. 

    THE LARGE POSTER IS IN THE SAME MINT  CONDITION HAVING NEVER BEEN FULLY OPENED

    THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNERS SLEEVE HAS HAD PRESS CLIPPINGS STUCK TO IT

    THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING SLEEVE AND FULLY JUSTIFIES A NEAR MINT GRADE

     

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