THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE  MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.

THE SILVER LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION ON BOTH DISCS, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

SIDE D HAS VOODOO CHILE AND ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER ON IT AND HAS BEEN PLAYED ABOUT 5-6 TIMES JUDGING BY THE SPIDER LINES ON SIDE A. THE OTHER THREE SIDES HAVE JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLES

IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER, APART FROM THE 4TH SIDE

THE VINYL

BOTH VINYLS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THEY GLEAM LIKE THEY WERE JUST PRESSED AND THERE IS NO FOGGING OR ANY MARKS ON EITHER OF THE ALBUMS.THEY LOOK FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT.

EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW  WISPY LINES AND A FINE ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINE ON SIDE C

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 SET 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 RECORDS BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THE REPRODUCTION FROM THIS SET IS JUST BRILLIANT. BOTH DISCS PLAY MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. TRYING TO FIND A GREAT COPY OF THIS ALBUM IS VERY HARD AS IT WAS A VERY POPULAR LP IN IT'S DAY AND MOST COPIES ARE TRASHED WITH SLEEVES TO MATCH. HERE WE HAVE WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A NEAR FAULTLESS PERFORMANCE.

THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE APART FROM THE GUITAR WORK THAT SHOULD SOUND DISTORTED OF COURSE. THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP'S WERE PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED EITHER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

I SAID NEAR FAULTLESS IN MY DESCRIPTION, BUT I AM BEING VERY PICKY HERE. THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS LIGHT STATIC IN SOME OF THE QUIETEST SPOTS ( run in and a couple of linking grooves) . I ALSO HEARD ABOUT THREE SMALL DUST POPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAY OF THE FOUR SIDES.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THiS BEAUTIFUL VINYL SET MINT MINUS!!!

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB E.J DAY AND CO LAMINATED GATEFOLD

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND JUST GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO BENDS, AND ABSOLUTELY NO RING WEAR OR EVEN MILD RECORD SHAPE. .

THERE ARE JUST THREE SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE NONE AT ALL NEAR THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES. AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND THIS IS DUE TO THE SLEEVE RESIDING INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SINCE THE DAY OF RELEASE

THE SPINE IS  PERFECT. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT. THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED

THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE AS SHARP AS THEY POSSIBLE COULD BE,WITH JUST ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICK ON EITHER EDGE. THE LP'S HAVE VERY CLEARLY BEEN HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE WHEN REMOVING THEM FROM THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS VIRTUALLY AS MAGNIFICENT AS THE FRONT WITH THE ONLY TINY BLEMISHES BEING FIVE TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND A COUPLE OF THUMB LINES NEXT TO THE OPENING EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A FULLY LAMINATED AND GLOSSY PAIR OF PANELS WHICH ARE AS IMMACULATE AS THE REST OF THIS SLEEVE.WITH JUST ONE SMALL LAMINATE LINE ON THE LEFT OF JIMI'S HAT

THE TWO POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES ARE FLAT AND CLEAN AND BARELY HAVE A CREASE LINE ON THEM.THERY ARE BOTH STILL VERY WHITE AND TOTALLY UNSPLIT 

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

THIS COPY  WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION

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