THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE MAGENTA COLOURED IMMEDIATE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM ANYWHERE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE IS JUST ONE VERY FAINT SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE

IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS  FLAWLESS . UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A JUST A FEW 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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CERTAIN THAT ANY BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON AND I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE FOR MY CUSTOMERS.

THIS FIRST PRESS ALBUM PERFORMS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THE MOST OBVIOUS THING WHEN HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IS THE CLARITY AND LOUDNESS OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. IT IS  JUST SUPERB. EVERY NOTE HEARD AS IT WAS INTENDED

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

NO HEAVY CRACKLING OR CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ALMOST NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND. JUST A LITTLE IN THE SILENT PASSAGES AT THE END OF SIDE TWO

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-2 MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AS MINT  MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO FIND IN ANY DECENT SORT OF COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED AND VERY THIN

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS INTACT AND UNRUBBED

THERE IS ONE OBVIOUS CREASE LINE ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER. SEVEN SMALL ONES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE NEAR THE BOTTOM ON THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES BOTH HAVE VERY MILD SHELF WEAR AT THE CORNERS AND A FEW RANDOM WHITE SPECKS ALONG THE SURFACES

THE SPINE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS LIGHTLY RUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AND SOME VERY LIGHT BURRING.

THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS PRESENT AND IN MINT CONDITION, FLAT AND UNSPLIT AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS,

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS!!!

 

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

GARRY
