THE RECORD
THE LABELS
BEAUTIFUL RED LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLUE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. I CAN'T SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED IN THE 54 YEARS SINCE IT WAS PRESSED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS VIRTUALLY NEVER BEEN PLAYED.IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS MINT
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY WITH A CRISP CLEAN FIRST PRESS SOUND THAT CAN ONLY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE HEAVIER VINYL OFFERINGS. THE REPRODUCTION IS EXCEPTIONAL AND THIS PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM THAT IT IS VITAL TO HAVE THE BEST COPY YOU CAN GET TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE INCREDIBLE MUSIC.
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS
PERFECT AUDIO AND FREE FROM ANY STATIC
NO DUST POPS OR TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM THE E.J.DAY GROUP WHICH IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
SO MANY OF THESE ORIGINAL HAVE RUBBING TO THE DELICATE COLOURS (PARTICULARLY THE SILVER INNER PANELS) THAT TO FIND ONE IN THIS CONDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO CREASES OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING OR FADING
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED
. THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR WITH A TINY DOT OF RUB ON THE REAR RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS IN SUPERB FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND UNBLEMISHED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL NICKS IT IS CLEAR THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED. AGAIN NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. AND NO PRESSURE LINES LINES NEAR THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PERFECT SILVER INNER PANELS. THESE ARE USUALLY VERY BADLY RUBBED, BUT HERE WE HAVE ABSOLUTE PERFECTION
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. TOTALLY UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED
THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT GRADES MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
