THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RAINBOW LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE RAINBOW LOGO WHICH CAN RUB AND WEAR BADLY IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION ON BOTH SIDES. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS JUST TWO SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY INDICATING LIMITED PLAY THAT THIS BRILLIANT EXAMPLE HAS RECEIVED IN THE LAST 40 YEARS

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS!!!  THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID. 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 THESE DISCS SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE SECOND OF VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO STATIC OTHER THAN A SPLIT SECOND IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND LINKING GROOVES, AND NO MORE THAN TWO OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS HEARD THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL MINT MINUS!!! 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS, AFTER ALL THAT'S WHY THE SOUNDBITES ARE THERE

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS AND NO RUBBING AT ALL. NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE.

THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND THERE IS NO STAINING OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NOT EVEN ANY LIGHT ONES .

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, AND A REALLY MINUSCULE DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP.

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH ONLY A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE ABSOLUTE TIP END AT THE RIGHT TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS ONE SMALL SCUFF ON THE REAR EDGE AND A AGAIN A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT TIPS.

THE SPINE IS ALSO NEAR PERFECT. 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, UNMARKED, FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS AND HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE  NEAR THE BOTTOM TIP

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS JUST WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED IN MINT CONDITION, BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.THE BROWN SURFACE IS VERY VULNERABLE AND IS USUALLY FOUND RUBBED. HERE HOWEVER THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE OPENING AND TOP EDGES, AND ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE.AND A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER SURFACE,MINT BLACK UNBLEMISHED SURFACES, WITH A PERFECT INNER SPINE.

THE ORIGINAL 'CARE OF YOUR RECORD' INNER SLEEVE IS IN PURE WHITE CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO CREASES.
