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 ARE JUST 4-5 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS JUST HAD THE TINIEST AMOUNT OF PLAYS.
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 ONLY WHEN PUT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME SWIRLY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES TO BE SEEN
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 HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
PLAYED JUST THE A FEW TIMES OVER 43 YEARS, THE SOUND QUALITY GENERATED AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION JUST MAGNIFICENT.
FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS PLACED ONTO THE DISC UNTIL THE FINAL FADEOUT, THIS VINYL PERFORMS ALMOST LIKE A BRAND NEW 1970 DISC. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND
THERE ARE A FEW ODD SECONDS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN THE LINKING GROOVES, AND THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES ON SIDE ONE, WHILST SIDE TWO THERE IS VIRTUALLY NONE AT ALL.
THERE ARE A 4-5 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, AGAIN MOSTLY ON SIDE ONE
SIDE ONE GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS AND SIDE 2 MINT MINUS, MAKING AN OVERALL GRADE OF NEAR MINT!!!

THE ICONIC ZEP I SLEEVE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
