UNPLAYED AND 100% MINT AUDIO

INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS  SLEEVE

MUSEUM GRADE ALBUM

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT MONEY CAN BUY, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS ALBUM IS IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION

PLUS WITH MY AUCTIONS YOU ARE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO BID

THIS DOUBLE ALBUM HAS A SERIOUS AMOUNT OF LABEL ERRORS, AND I WILL TRY TO DESCRIBE THE SO THAT IT IS NOT TOO COMPLICATED.

THIS ALBUM LIKE MANY WAS SET OUT TO HAVE SIDE ONE AND SIDE FOUR ON THE SAME DISC, AND SIDES TWO & THREE ON THE SECOND DISC, AND IN FACT THIS VINYL IS INDEED PRESS THAT WAY. 

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ON THE FIRST ALBUM AND A1 ON SIDE ONE AND ON THE OTHER SIDE THE MATRIX NUMBERS END D1 TO SIGNIFY SIDE FOUR. 

SO THIS IS CORRECT. HOWEVER THE LABELS TELL AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY THE ONLY LABEL THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT IS DISC ONE SIDE A. 

IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURE YOU WILL SEE THAT THE LABEL STATES SIDE ONE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, AND ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE JUST ABOVE THE WORDS STEREO THE CATALOGUE NUMBER WITH THE LETTER A, THEREFORE INDICATING SIDE ONE OR THE A SIDE. 

TURNING THE DISC OVER WHAT WE SHOULD SEE HERE IS SIDE FOUR ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE AND CATALOGUE NUMBER WITH A D ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. THE CATALOGUE NUMBER WITH THE DF AFTER IT IS IN THE CORRECT PLACE, HOWEVER ON LEFT HAND SIDE INSTEAD OF SAYING SIDE FOOR IT STATES SIDE TWO. 

THE SECOND DISC SIMILARLY HAS THE SAME MISLABELLING. SIDE TWO WHICH HAS THE MATRIX NUMBER B1 AND THE CATALOGUE NUMBER ENDING IN B ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE LABEL, HAS SIDE THREE PRINTED ON THE LEFT-HAND PORTION, WHEREAS SIDE THREE WHICH HAS THE C AFTER THE CATALOGUE NUMBER ON THE RIGHT-HAND HALF OF THE LABEL HAS SIDE FOUR PRINTED ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE. 

THIS WOULD HAVE MADE IT A RELATIVELY DIFFICULT FOR ANY OWNER WHO BOUGHT THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME TO MATCH THE TRACK LISTING THE SIDE NUMBER PRINTED ON THE LABEL.

ANYWAY HAVE GOOD LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF

• CATALOGUE:DISCREET K69201

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BUFF COLOURED LABELS ARE PRISTINE. TOTALLY BLEMISH FREE AND UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO MINT . THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. I CANNOT STRESS JUST HOW IMMACULATE THIS VINYL IS, AND IT STARTS WITH THE LABELS. FROM LOOKING AT THESE YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN GET A CLUE AS TO HOW OFTEN THE RECORD WAS PLAYED, AND IN THIS CASE, UNPLAYED

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE . THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A MINT  DISC

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 THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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

THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND FREE OF ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE APART FROM THREE TINY SCUFF SOUNDS ABOUT 30 SECONDS INTO SIDE ONE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE VINYL SO MUST BE IN THE PRESS

THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

NO STATIC AND DEATHLY QUIET LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY  DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS ANYWHERE ON THE PLAYBACK

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!

 PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS GATEFOLD SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND  PRISTINE . THE COLOURS ARE DEEP IN COLOUR AND HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED. SERIOUSLY THIS LOOKS NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS ORIGINALLY PRINTED AND MADE UP

NO RING WEAR , JUST A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE AT THE BOTTOM, THE CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE . NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGES IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW FLECKS OF SHELF WEAR AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS ALSO PRISTINE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND THERE IS JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL RAZOR SHARP 

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER PANELS

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

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE FLAT AND CLEAN, WITH SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES

THIS SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS
