THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP REMAINS VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED/

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS ON THE SURFACE OF EITHER SIDE, AND EVEN OFFERRING IT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NO MORE THAN SOME VERY WISPY AND BARELY VISIBLE HAIRLINES

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 OPTED TO PLAY THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH.THIS IS NOW SOMETHING I AM DOING WITH EVERY LP THAT I LIST. I AM SURE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE ALBUM THEY ARE BIDDING ON, AND NOT JUST RELY ON THE DESCRIPTION.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH INCREDIBLY. THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AND A CRACKING DISTORTION AND CRACKLE FREE PERFORMANCE. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND AT ALL ,APART FROM THE VERY ODD BIT OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC/ IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB PRESSING

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  MINT MINUS

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

SUPERB NEAR MINT CONDITION LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. THE LAMINATE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION AND THE COVER HAS NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DENTS EITHER. THERE IS A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE SPINE EDGE, AND A FEW TINY LAMINATE LINES  DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE SPINE. NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE EITHER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES  ARE TOTALLY UNWORN,AND THUS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY ATTACHED.

 THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ONE OF THE TINY LAMINATE LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE HAS MADE ITS WAY ACROSS THE SPINE AND YOU CAN SEE A PIN PRICK OF WHITE  HERE. NO LAMINTAE PEEL OR FLAKE

THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW.WITH JUST A TINY THUMB NAIL NICK AT THE VERY TOP

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS SPECIAL AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASING AT ALL, AND ONLY A TINY SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT.

. THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS THE CORRECT PATENT NUMBER BOTTOM LEFT AND MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN BOTTOM RIGHT. THIS IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS

 

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