THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITEBAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE IS ONLY ONE TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS JUST HAD VERY LIMITED PLAY.SIDE TWO ALSO HAS RESIDUAL VINYL STILL ATTACHED TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES ON THE SURFACE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PUT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE HANDLING LINES
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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED 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
PLEASE JUST TAKE A LISTEN TO THE QUALITY OF THIS VINYL AS IT WILL SAY FAR MORE THAN I CAN PUT INTO WORDS.
FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS PLACED ONTO THE DISC UNTIL THE FINAL FADEOUT, THIS VINYL PERFORMS LIKE A BRAND NEW 1967 DISC. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AT ALL, ANYWHERE. CRISP CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION WITHOUT ANY IRRITANTS IS ALL YOU HEAR.
NO CLICKS JUST THE VERY VERY LIGHTEST SECOND OR TWO OF VINYL NOISE IN JUST A COUPLE OF THE QUIETEST PASSAGES,AND THEN ONLY FOR A SECOND OR TWO AT THE MOST.I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE AUDIBLE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS INCREDIBLE DISC GRADES NEAR MINT!!!!
BUT MY ADVICE IS TO TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION.
THE LAMINATED SURFACE STILL HAS THAT DEEP SHINE ABOUT IT
THERE ARE SIX SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. A SIMILAR AMOUNT ON THE TOP EDGE AND AGAIN ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED AND THIS RUNS ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH ONLY A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE RIGHT TIP ENDS
THE WAFER THIN SPINE HAS A LITTLE SHELF RUB WHICH HAS AFFECTED SOME OF THE TYPEFACE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP,WITH A LITTLE LIGHT BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR AND AGEING TO THE WHITENESS
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED, WITH THE FLIPBACKS AND POLY LINED INTERIOR. IT IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM HAVING THE DATE CODED AT THE BOTTOM 057 (MAY 1967). IT HAS AGED OVER TIME, BUT IS STILL FLAT AND UNSPLIT
THE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
