THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

 THE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. . THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE JET BLACK AREAS ARE BEAUTIFULLY BLACK, AGAIN NO MAN MADE MARKS, EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND ANY OF THE FOUR SIDES OF THE HOLES

THE VINYL

THESE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYLS GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAVE LOST NONE OF THE  ORIGINAL LUSTRE.IN DAYLIGHT THEY LOOK SPOTLESS WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT DISCOLOURED PATCHES. ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN. THERE IS ALSO ONE SMALL AND NO SOUNDING MARK THAT I HAVE JUST SPOTTED ON THE LIP OF SIDE 2

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 FOUR SIDES FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL THE LP'S THAT I LIST. THIS IS BECAUSE 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'S PLAY THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BALL FOUR SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW IT DOES SOUND.

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.

YES THERE IS THE ODD SECOND OF VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE AND ABOUT TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAY, BUT IT IS THE MUSIC THAT IS HEARD PROPERLY WITHOUT BACKGROUND CRACKLES ETC, BUT PLEASE LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE VINYL HAS UNTIL TODAY REMAINED UNPLAYED

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB MINT GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED BY THE SHRINKWRAP FILM SINCE THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED, AND UNLIKE MIST SHRINK COVERED ALBUMS, THIS ONE HAD EACH HALF OF THE GATEFOLD INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED, MEANING THE THE GATEFOLD CAN BE OPENED PROPERLY

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND AS PREVIOUSLY STATED IS IN PRISTINE WHITE CONDITION DUE TO THE SHRINKWRAP. THE SHRINK WAS CUT AT THE OPENING EDGES FOR THE ALBUMS TO BE REMOVED, AND LIKE ALL SHRINK WRAPPED SLEEVES THE SHRINK HAS SHRUNK BACK A LITTLE FROM THE EDGE EXPOSING ABOUT A HALF INCH OF SLEEVE

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND THROUGH THE SHRINK I AM EASILY ABLE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE NONE OF THE SMALL LINES THAT USUALLY GATHER NEAR THE SPINE

IN ADDITION TO THE SHRINK, THE SLEEVE WAS HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE SHRINK HAS DONE ITS JOB

THE SPINE IS ALSO UNBLEMISHED. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THIS YOU CAN TELL THE RECORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MINT STATE AS THE FRONT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COPY OF THIS IN SUCH A PRISTINE CONDITION

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PAIR OF INNER PANELS THAT ARE IN THE SAME SUPERB MINT STATE AS THE REST OF THE COVER

THE INNER SLEEVES CONSIST OF THE WHITE ZAPPA INNER WHICH IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE. THE WHITE SURFACE IS PERFECTLY WHITE, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE, AND NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS EITHER, AND NO CREASES

THE BLACK INNER DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL SEAM SPLITS. ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE SIDE ALSO HAS A TWO INCH SPLIT. OTHER THAN THIS THE BLACK INNER IS IN THE SAME UNCREASED CONDITION AS THE WHITE ONE

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT!!!!

THE BLACK INNER IS THE ONLY MINOR ISSUE

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