THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER TEXTURED TRACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. . THE BLACK RUNS FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE , WHILST THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

THERE ARE JUST A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THIS AMAZING ALBUM HAS HAD VERY LIMITED PLAY IN 52 YEARS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS SUPERB. ITS A HEAVYWEIGHT 60'S VINYL AND THIS MEANS QUALITY AUDIO AND QUALITY PRESSING. EVEN WHEN THIS IS PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY AND TOTALLY NON SOUNDING WISPY AHIRLINES VISIBLE. NO SCRATCHES, NO SMUDGES, NO FINGERMARKS, AND NO SCUFFS OR EVEN DULL STREAKS, AND NO DULL PATCHES EITHER. A SUPERB VINYL

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 LP BEFORE LAYING A BID

THIS RARE MONO RECORDING PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF DISTORTION. THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR MEANING THAT WHAT PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE SUPREME CLARITY OF THIS AUDIO IS JUST OUTSTANDING AND HAS TO BE HEARD TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED. THE MONO ORIGINAL IS JUST THE BEST VERSION OF THIS ALBUM

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

I HEARD A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE RUN INTO TRACK ONE, SIDE ONE, AND ON SIDE TWO AT THE RUN IN A SINGLE ROTATIONAL HISS JUST BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS AND ANOTHER ONE ABOUT TWO ROTATIONS LATER,

VERY VERY MINOR TINY IMPERFECTIONS THAT STOP THIS AUDIO BEING A FULL MINT GRADE

THERE ARE NO DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE EITHER

THIS IS AN ASTOUNDING COPY OF THIS SOUGHT AFTER LP AND I HAVE DELIGHT IN GRADING THE AUDIO AS MINT MINUS

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

FANTASTIC SLEEVE WITH A MAGNIFICENT SPINE WHICH IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF. THE SLEEVE IS A LAMINATED GATEFOLD FROM THE E.J.DAY CO.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS MAGNIFICENT AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THE MAIN BODY OF THE FRONT IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL VERY SQUARE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TWO 

THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGES HAVE FULL GLOSSY BLACK COLOUR ALL THE WAY ACROSS BOTH SURFACES WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE THE SAME WITH A TINY LITTLE SCUFF NEAR THE LEFT CORNER AS WELL

THE SPINE IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT IS PERFECTLY FLAT, AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END SHOWS A SPECK OF RUB

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH A TINY  BIT OF BURRING RIGHT AT THE TOP ON THE REAR SURFACE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES , NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. THREE MINUTE LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE TINY THUMB LINE BY THE OPENING EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER PANELS. NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF THE BLACK COLOURS WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED 

THE ORANGE 2 PAGE LYRIC INSERT IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. USUALLY FOUND RIPPED AND BADLY CREASED, THIS COPY IS TOTALLY INTACT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES, JA RAZOR SHARP CENTRE FOLD LINE.

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NICE CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT WITH ONE LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINE,PLUS NO SEAM SPLITS. SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES. A SUPERB ORIGINAL EXAMPLE WITH THE DATE 117 (NOV 67 IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER PRINTED NEXT TO 'MADE IN ENGLAND'

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

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