THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE IS NOT ONE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CANNOT SEE ANY
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAY LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS SPARKLING VINYL,AND IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, A TRULY PRISTINE AND MINT CONDITION DISC
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, IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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
I DECIDED TO GIVE THIS UNPLAYED ALBUM A CAREFUL TEST PLAY, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT!!!
I GUARANTEE THIS TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
INCREDIBLE!!! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE REPRODUCTION. SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES THAT PERFORM TO THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LIGHT STATIC EITHER
I HEARD THREE OF THE TINIEST STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM CERTAIN THIS SET COULD NOT BE BETTERED!!!
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL SEMI-LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE DEEP BLACK SURFACE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION.
THERE ARE ZERO!! LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. I DON'T THINK THIS COULD LOOK ANY BETTER.NO SMALL LINES ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THE TOP EDGE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS ONE TINY WHITE SPECK SHOWING IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BACK EDGE THE ABSOLUTE TIP ENDS ALSO HAVE A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE, AND UNWORN TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST AS SPECTACULAR AS THE FRONT. THERE IS ONE TINY THUMB LINES AND A SHADOW OF RING WEAR JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS.
THE BLACK POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION HAVING REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 42 YEARS. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
