ABSOLUTELY STUNNING COPY OF THIS 1970 DEBUT ALBUM FROM M.S.C FROM THE VINYL THROUGH TO THE SLEEVE I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A BETTER COPY ON THE PLANET

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TWO YELLOW AND GREEN  LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR WRITING ANYWHERE AND INCREDIBLY JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE HOLE TO SHOW JUST WHY THIS VINYL IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS.

THE GREEN LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS ALSO UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE VINYL

THIS VERY HEAVY VINYL STILL RETAINS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES. AN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT DISC

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, SOMETHING I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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.

THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO STATE IS THAT IT PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE RECORD WAS PLAYED JUST THE ONCE WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS. IN ADDITION THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT,LISTEN TO TRACK 2 SIDE 2 FOR THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR CLICKS JUSTA FEW TINY DUST POPS DURING I'VE LOST YOU

ALL I HEARD WAS A LITTLE LIGHT STATIC LIKE STUFF DURING THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRACKS ON SIDE 2,  A TRULY OUTSTANDING AUDIO EXPERIENCE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE DISC MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF THOUGH

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED  GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE AND LYRIC INSERT

THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS VERY MARGINAL SHELF WEAR

THE SPINE ITSELF IS FLAT,AND CLEAN AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE DELICATE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A TINY THUMB NAIL NICK TO SHOW WHERE THE LP WAS REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS NO COLOUR LOSS. THERE ARE TWO SMALL DINGS TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE CORNERS IN THE FORM A OF A LIGHT VREASE LINE ACROSS EACH CORNER TIP.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE MINT CONDITION INTERIOR PAIR OF  SURFACES.
