THE LABELS

THE GLOSSY ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE GLOSSY LABELS ARE EVIDENCE OF A FIRST PRESS, AS LATER PRESSES WERE RELEASED ON LIGHTER VINYL WITH MATT LABELS

THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF DULL LINES

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB WITH EVERYTHING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT

NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

JUST THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND NO MORE THAN 1-2 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS HEARD THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE VINYL MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED CLOUT & BAKER SINGLE SLEEVE.

THIS IS THE UNLAMINATED SLEEVE AND AS SUCH IS FAR MORE PRONE TO WEAR THAN THE LAMINATED ONE, SO TO FIND ONE IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION IS A REAL RARITY

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THE COLOURS ARE ALL IMMACULATE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS AND THE SLEEVE JUST LOOKS ASTOUNDING.

THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEXT TO THE TOP OF THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE PERFECTLY SHARP AND SQUARE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR , WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY INTACT AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNBLEMISHED.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED  NO WEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND PRISTINE , PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE ALL THESE YEARS

THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.AGAIN JUST ONE TINY LINE ON THE SPINE. NONE ELSEWHERE

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION . UNSPLIT AND STILL VERY WHITE

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

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