THIS LP HAS COME FROM AN INCREDIBLE RECORD COLLECTION, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FOR THE VERY DAY OF PURCHASE BY PLACING THEM INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES. THEREFORE VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE RECORDS THAT I WILL BE LISTING FROM THIS COLLECTION WILL HAVE MINT, MINT MINUS OR AT THE WORST NEAR MINT SLEEVES!

THE INNER SLEEVES HAVE ALL BEEN KEPT FLAT AND UNWRINKLED AND FURTHER ENHANCE THE COLLECTION.

THE VINYLS ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE, WITH A FEW HAVING NEVER BEEN PLAYED, AND AGAIN THE GRADING'S VARY BETWEEN MINT AND NEAR MINT...NOTHING LOWER.

THE RECORDS WERE PLACED INTO THOSE RECORD BOXES WITH HANDLES ON THEM, ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN KEPT AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT OR SUNLIGHT AND COLD.

FINALLY THERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER TITLES IN THIS COLLECTION, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK DAILY FOR THE LATEST FROM THIS AMAZING SELECTION OF 197O'S ROCK ALBUMS

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, A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES, 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 45 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 CRACKLE

THERE IS THE ODD SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN THE LINKING GROOVES, AND SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I HEARD ONLY ONE MINUSCULE DUST POP DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THE ICONIC ZEP I SLEEVE IN MINT!!!! ORIGINAL CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. A TRULY STUNNING MARK FREE LAMINATE.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE. AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE.

THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE.

NO LAMINATE LINES ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGE. THERE ARE TWO REALLY TINY THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NOTICE THAT THE SLEEVE HAS THE FIRST ISSUE GREY STRIP ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER. WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY INTACT, AND THIS INCLUDES THE CORNER TIPS WHICH ARE ALL IMMACULATE

THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. IT HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE TO THE MINT LAMINATE SURFACE, WITH BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS IN PRISTINE CONDITION, AND A TYPEFACE THAT IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER

THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN MINT CONDITION. EVERY BIT AS SPECIAL AS THE FRONT . ZERO LINES NEAR ANY OF THE EDGES.

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED, UNSPLIT , UNCREASED AND STILL PERFECTLY WHITE DUE TO THE WAY IT HAS BEEN HOUSED
