THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE CREAMY WHITE SURFACE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE ABSOLUTELY MICROSCOPIC  SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE  , SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 40 YEARS. THE BROWN LOGO'S ARE ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS MINT CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , POSSIBLY A COUPLE OF WISPY 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 RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS 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 VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE ONE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR EVEN ANY LOUD CLICKS

ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IN THE LINKING GROOVES I HEARD A SECOND OR TWO  OF STATIC

ALSO THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 4-5  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!! AT THE ABSOLUTE WORST

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED AND STIFF CARDED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH FLAPS 

AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS SUPERB CARTOON SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL AND ALMOST INVISIBLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE.

MOST COPIES OF THIS SLEEVE HAVE RUBBING TO THE PASTEL BLUE AREA AT THE TOP OF THE SURFACE OR DIRTY MARKS, BUT THIS ONE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE

IN ADDITION THE FOUR CORNERS ARE TOTALLY SQUARE

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THIS SLEEVE HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW BECAUSE THE BOTTOM EDGE IS JUST MINT. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER. THE RIGHT EDGE WHICH SERVES AS THE OTHER SEALED EDGE IS ALSO IN MINT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK TYPEFACE IS AND 100% UNSQUASHED. NO WEAR TO THE TIPS EITHER

THE TOP OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE IN 1972. TWO MICROSCOPIC THUMB NAIL NICKS ARE BARELY VISIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. NOT EVEN ANY OF THE LITTLE LINES NEAR THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN UNMARKED PAIR OF INNER PANELS. GLORIOUS RICH COLOURS AND AT THE BOTTOM THE TWO FOLD OUT FLAPS HAVE INCREDIBLY STIFF HINGES, MEANING THAT THEY JUST HAVEN'T BEEN OPENED VERY OFTEN TO BE IN THIS SUPERB SHAPE

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE IS INCLUDED . LIGHTLY WRINKLED, BUT NO SEAM SPLITS WHATSOEVER

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES  MINT!!! IT IS THAT GOOD

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