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. 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS SUPERB. 

IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS

EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES ON THE SURFACE, AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS ON SIDE ONE

PLAYING THE RECORD

THIS RARE STEREO 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

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

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY THE VERY ODD LITTLE SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, IN THE RUN INS, AND A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT DETRACT FROM THE CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN STEREO SOUND OF THIS VINYL

THERE ARE NO DUST POPS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC LIKE TICS

THE AUDIO GRADE OF THIS SUPERB LP IS NEAR MINT

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.

Printer Credits: 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. 

INCREDIBLY THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINE BY THE SPINE. THREE ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. 

THE STEREO STICKER IS FIRMLY IN PLACE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE CORNER TIPS HAVE VERY VERY LIGHT RUB TO THE TIP ENDS

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE EITHER. 

THIS IS A FABULOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS FRAGILE SLEEVE. 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED AND SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH ALL THE WAY ALONG. ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS SHOW A TINY SPECK OF RUB

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 TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS SHOW A LITTLE SHELF RUB

THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL SUPERBLY SHARP WITH JUST A  TINY  NICK ON THE REAR EDGE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES AND JUST A FEW LAMINATE LINES ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES AND THREE ON THE SPINE

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 WITH JUST A FEW LAMINATE LINES

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, JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES TO THE PAPER, AND A LITTLE FOXING ON THE PLAIN WHITE REAR SIDE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT WITH ONE LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINE, AND SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES. UNSPLIT AT THE SEAMS A SUPERB ORIGINAL EXAMPLE WITH THE DATE 117 (NOV 67_ IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER PRINTED NEXT TO 'MADE IN ENGLAND'
