THIS LP HAS COME FROM AN INCREDIBLE RECORD COLLECTION, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FROM THE VERY DAY OF PURCHASE BY PLACING THEM INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES. THEREFORE VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE RECORDS THAT I WILL BE LISTING FROM THIS COLLECTION WILL HAVE MINT, MINT MINUS OR AT THE WORST NEAR MINT SLEEVES!

THE INNER SLEEVES HAVE ALL BEEN KEPT FLAT AND UNWRINKLED AND FURTHER ENHANCE THE COLLECTION.

THE VINYLS ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE, WITH A FEW HAVING NEVER BEEN PLAYED, AND AGAIN THE GRADING’S VARY BETWEEN MINT AND NEAR MINT...NOTHING LOWER.

THE RECORDS WERE PLACED INTO THOSE RECORD BOXES WITH HANDLES ON THEM, ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN KEPT AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT OR SUNLIGHT AND COLD.

FINALLY THERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER TITLES IN THIS COLLECTION, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK DAILY FOR THE LATEST FROM THIS AMAZING SELECTION OF 197O'S ROCK ALBUMS

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE LIGHT BROWN RSO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

A MAGNIFICENT SET OF LABELS IN MINT CONDITION. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE.

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING VINYL, LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE

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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 LP PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES WHERE IT IS DEATHLY SILENT

THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM AND TINY STATIC TICS HEARD DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS VINYL GRADES MINT MINUS WITH EASE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD FIRST PRESS SLEEVE SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES.

THE COLOURS ARE ALL IN SUPERB CONDITION, AND THE GOLD LETTERING IS JUST PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY COLOUR LOSS TO THE VERY OUTER EDGES

THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON EACH OF THE RIGHT TIP ENDS ONLY.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ONLY

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL  INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED AND IS IN  ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL, AND UNCREASED, AND THIS AGAIN SHOWS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE,

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS !!!
