THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LIGHT TAN LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION SHOWING NO STAINS OR MARKS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR. THE TYPEFACE IS EQUALLY PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I HAD TO REALLY LOOK CLOSE TO SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AT ALL, BUT DID SPOT A COUPLE OF REALLY SMALL ONES WHEN I ANGLED THE LABEL INTO THE INTENSE ILLUMINATION OF A SPOTLIGHT, AND EVEN THEN I HAD TO PLAY AROUND TO SPOT THEM. THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN TWO TIMES (THREE NOW) SINCE 1971
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. YOU CAN TELL THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED JUST BY LOOKING AT HOW THE RECORD STILL GLEAMS. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT'S NEAR FLAWLESS, WITH JUST A FEW VERY VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I 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
WHAT THIS VINYL GIVES YOU IS A TRULY FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING. THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO HEAR APART FROM THE INCREDIBLE SOUND THIS ALBUM GENERATES.
CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED, BITH CLEAR AND CRISP A GREAT SOUND ALL ROUND
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE TO BE HEARD AT ALL, PERHAPS THE ODD SECOND OF VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS, AND I CAN'T SAY I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT !!!
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL 'E.J.DAY' UNLAMINATED AND TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE WHICH IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
DUR TO THE THIN AND TEXTURED NATURE OF THIS COVER IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND ONE IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. NORMALLY THEY ARE TORN, RING WORN AND OR HEAVILY STAINED
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES, NO LIGHT CREASES, AND JUST 2-3 SMALL LINES, INSTEAD OF THE MANY THAT YOU USUALLY FIND DOWN THE SPINE.
THE COLOURS ON THIS SLEEVE ALWAYS RUB DUE TO THE POWDERY NATURE OF THE FINISH. MOST COPIES YOU WILL COME ACROSS ARE HEAVILY RUBBED, BUT THIS SUPERB EXAMPLE HAS VIRTUALLY NONE WHATSOEVER. THERE IS JUST THE VERY VERY SLIGHTEST SHADOW AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES,WHICH IS JUST THE LIGHT OUTLINE OF THE RECORD. BUT CERTAINLY NO HEAVY RINGWEAR
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM SHELF WEAR.
THE SPINE IS NEAR PRISTINE. AGAIN THIS USUALLY SUFFERERS FROM SEVERE RUBBING, AND MOST WILL HAVE THE TYPEFACE WORN AWAY, BUT HERE IS A COPY WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHING EITHER
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP, WITH ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, AGAIN NO CREASING, AND NO LOSS OF COLOURS AT ALL, AND NOT EVEN ANY OF THE LIGHT DISC OUTLINE APART FROM AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SLEEVE WHERE THERE IS A SLIVER
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE 'MADE IN ENGLAND'INNER SLEEVE IS IN PRISTINE UNSPLIT CONDITION.THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
