THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE ORANGE ELEKTRA LABELS DETERMINE THIS AS A FIRST PRESS

THE COLOUR IS IMMACULATE AND IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS RECORD HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE - A STUNNING 47 YEAR OLD ALBUM

THE VINYL

 CLASSIC HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE DISC, AND NOT ONLY IN DAYLIGHT DOES IT LOOK FLAWLESS, BUT UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT ALSO LOOKS PERFECT

 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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I HAVE BECOME 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

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH A CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CLEANLINESS TO THE SOUND, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL.

PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE, MEANING THAT THE ONE CAREFUL PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, AND THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES ARE EXACTLY SILENT

THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AT AND NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STATICS WHATSOEVER, JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST AND BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS ON SIDE TWO

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL  MINT!!!!

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

   

THE SLEEVE

THE CORRECT FIRST PRESS UNLAMINATED U.S SINGLE SLEEVE

LIKE SO MANY WARNER / ATLANTIC ARTISTS FROM THE MID 60'S THEY WERE ALMOST TOTALLY UNKNOWN IN THE UK, AND WHILST THE RECORDS WERE PRESSED IN THE UK, THE AMERICAN SLEEVES WERE USED. ONE THAT SPRINGS TO MIND IS CSNY  (FOUR WAY STREET) ALSO ONE OF THE DOORS ALBUMS HAD THE US SLEEVE, SO THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS ALBUM COVER IS IMMACULATE AND TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS APART FROM A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT ANYWHERE.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS.

THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, ABSOLUTELY NO RING WEAR, OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

INCREDIBLY FOR AN AMERICAN SLEEVE, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. INCREDIBLY THE WHITE PASTE OVER PAPER IS UNBLEMISHED APART FROM A TINY SPECK AT THE TOP TIP. THE REST IS PRISTINE AND UNMARKED. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS VIRTUALLY AS NEW. CANT SAY RAZOR SHARP AS THE US SLEEVES WERE MADE OF THICK CHEAP CARD AND THERE IS NOTHING SHARP ABOUT THEM, BUT THIS ONE JUST HAS A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF RUB

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS NICE AS THE FRONT, TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS AND JUST HAS THE FAMOUS 'HARLEQUIN' RECORD STORE STICKER NEATLY PLACED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE ORIGINAL UK PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNCREASED. UNSPLIT AT THE SEAMS THE SLEEVE JUST HAS A FEW TRACES OF AGEING AT THE EDGES

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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