  • THE SLEEVE

    STUNNING FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION

  • THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT ND CLEAN, AND THERE ARE NO CREASES AT ALL.. A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB LINES BUT THATS IT. A PERFECT SPINE AND UNWORN TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AS THE RECORDS HAVE HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE 

  • THE RECORD

    PLUCKING THE VINYL FROM THE SLEEVE WAS LIKE TAKING A BRAND NEW ALBUM FROM ITS SLEEVE FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT HAD THAT WOW FACTOR. THIS DISCS ARE JUST IN THE BEST CONDITION THEY COULD EVER BE IN. STARTING WITH THE LABELS THEY HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR AND HAVE NO MARKS, STAINS, OR WRITING ON THEM AT ALL. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE EITHER. CLEARLY THESE LPS HAVE BEEN HANDLED WITH IMMACULATE CARE.

    THE  DISCS GLEAM LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR SCRATCHES

    GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO SIDE ONE THERE IS TOTAL SILENCE IN THE RUN IN GROOVE. A GREAT SIGN THAT THE ALBUM HAS BEEN RESPECTFULLY HANDLED.

  • THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT ON ANY SIDE OF THE LPS WHICH IS NOTHING MORE THAN I EXPECTED

    THE LINKING GROOVES ARE ALSO SILENT

    THE MUSIC PLAYS TO PERFECTION, WITHOUT ANY CRACKLES, CLICKS, OR INFACT ANY TRACES OF STATIC OR ANY LIGHT POPS

    THIS IS TRULY AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

    THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER HAD ONE PLAY

    A FINER COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM YOU WILL NEVER FIND

    THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT MINT

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

    GARRY
