THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE AND IS ABSOLUTELY MINT.  THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN. 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . A TRULY PRISTINE DISC

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW 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 LP PLAYS SUPERBLY FROM START TO FINISH. FROM THE SILENCE BEFORE THE OPENING TRACK TO THE FINAL RUN OUT THE ALBUM PRODUCES THE CLEANEST AUDIO. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST EXCEPTIONAL.

THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERATINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

IN FACT THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS AN INCREDIBLE UNPLAYED ( MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY MAKES IT ONE PLAY). UNHEARD OF FOR ANY HENDRIX ALBUM

I CAN ONLY GRADE THIS PLAYTHOUGH AS MINT!!!

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED E.J.DAY SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE ONLY MINOR IMPERFECTION IS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE, AND A REALLY SMALL SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THERE ARE JUST SIX REALLY TINY PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE, ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGER

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A FEW PIN PRICKS OF UNDER CARD VISIBLE, AND A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER AREA

THE SPINE IS IS A LITTLE RUBBED AT THE TOP TIP, AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF RUB TO THE TOP LEADING EDGE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK. THE RECORD HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE!!!

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME  CONDITION AS THE FRONT, NEAR PERFECT WITH JUST THAT LITTLE RECORD SHAPE VISIBLE IN THE FORM OF VERY LIGHT GREYING UNDER THE TOP EDGE, AND A LITTLE LESS OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT, AND FREE FROM CREASING, JUST SOME LIGHT GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS

I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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