YOU ARE LOOKING AT A TRULY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY HARD TO FIND (IN THIS CONDITION) DOUBLE ALBUM.

EXPERIENCE HUMBLE PIE AT THEIR MOST CREATIVE WITH A MIXTURE OF ROCK, BLUES AND SOUL OVER 2 SUPERB ALBUMS.

WHEN I SAY THIS IS A MINT EXAMPLE I TRLY MEAN IT, IT IS JUST FANTASTIC, THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THE VINYL, AND THE SLEEVE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRINTERS.

THE SLEEVE

DOUBLE ALBUM NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE. VERY VERY PRONE TO RING WEAR, AND ABUSE. I OWN A COPY OF THIS LP MYSELF AND HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY MANY MORE, BUT I HAVE ALWAYS REJECTED THEM BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS ALWAYS LOOKED SO SHABBY UP TO THE TIME THIS GEM CAME INTO MY POSSESSION. THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY RINGWEAR WHATSOEVER, AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NOT EVEN ANY LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. ONE REALLY FINE THUMB NAIL LINE WHICH IS HARDLY VISIBLE, AND THAT IS ALL. THE OPENING EDGE IS IMMACULATE, AND RAZOR SHARP. TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE SPINE IS TRULY AWESOME . FLAT CLEAN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. TOTALLY MINT. THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT.

GENTLY OPENING THE GATEFOLD THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE INNER BOOKLET WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE SPINE LOOKS LIKE IT HAS NEVER EVEN BEEN OPENED . IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SABBATH 4 THEN YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE TYPE OF BOOKLET, BUT THIS ONE HAS MORE PAGES. IT IS MINT WITHOUT QUOESTION, AND I COULDN'T RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO OPEN IT AND SMELL IT, AND IT HAS THAT BRAND NEW SMELL. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THIS LP HAS BEEN KEPT FROM DAY ONE IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE, AND THE GATEFOLD HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND THE RECORDS I AM CONVINCED EVEN AT THIS EARLY STAGE OF INSPECTION HAVE NEVER HAD MORE THAN ONE PLAY LIFETIME. NOTHING THIS OLD CAN LOOK THIS GOOD, BUT HERE IT IS, JUST STUNNING. I CAN'T FULLY DESCRIBE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS SLEEVE IS, BUT I KNOW THE WINNING BIDDER WILL BE AS GOBSMACKED AS I AM LOOKING AT IT, AND HANDLING IT WITH THE UTMOST CARE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICS YOU WILL SEE THAT IT WONT EVEN LAY FLAT WHEN OPENED, THATS HOW NEW IT IS!!

THE LABELS

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR, AND NO SPIDER LINES. I CANNOT OVER EMPHASISE HOW IMMACULATE THIS SET IS, WELL BY NOW I AM SURE YOU HAVE THE IDEA THAT I AM EXTATIC ABOUT THIS DOUBLE ALBUM. IF THIS HAS HAD ANY PLAY THEN IT CAN ONLY BE ONCE EVER, AND A VERY CAREFUL ONE AT THAT.

THE VINYL

STUNNING, UNBLEMISHED, EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHT IT HAS NO MARKS OR HAIRLINES. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT BRAND NEW VINYL LOOKS LIKE, AND ITS WORTH SAYING AGAIN, THAT THIS SET IS 33 YEARS OLD.

GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO SIDE ONE, THE RUN IN IS SILENT, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE THE SAME. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND NOISE, NOR ARE THERE ANY CLICKS, POPS OR A NY UNWANTED NOISE.

ALL VINYL HAS SOME NOISE TO IT, AND IF I SAID THE ONLY REPORTABLE NOISE IS THE VERY VERY ODD BIT OF STATIC, THEN THIS WOULD ALSO BE AN OVERSTATEMENT.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET ANOTHER COPY OF THIS IN SUCH MAGNIFICENT CONDITION?

IT WILL NEVER EVER NEED UPGRADING, AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION. IT HAS THAT WOW!!! FACTOR
