THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE LILAC BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 3-4 REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW  TIMES  SINCE 1969

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED . THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY HANDLING LINES WHICH ARE SUPERFICIAL ONLY AND ONE SMALL LIGHT LINE AT THE START OF SIDE 2 , AGAIN NON SOUNDING. . PLACING THE LP UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO MAKE OUT BUT JUST TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND I HOPE YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE OF THIS FIRST PRESS VINYL

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 AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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 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 LP SOUNDS. THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ENSURING THAT THE VINYL WAS PLAYED WITH A CORRECTLY GRADED STYLUS. THERE ARE MANY NEAR SILENT MOMENTS ON THIS VINYL WHERE THINGS COULD SOUND TERRIBLE, BUT DON'T.

THERE ARE A FEW SECONDS OF LIGHT BACKGROUND DURING THE SECOND AND THIRD TRACKS, AND SOME VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE TICS AND DUT POPS RANDOMLY THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

CERTAINLY NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS

I AM MOREW THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINY NEAR MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

VERY FRAGILE LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

A REALLY HARD SLEEVE TO GET IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FLIMSY NATURE OF THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS NO MORE THAN THIN CARD LAMINATED. THE LP SLIDES INTO THE SLEEVE FROM THE SPINE AREA INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, AND THAT IN ITSELF PRESENTS MORE PROBLEMS. THINK 'BEATLES FOR SALE'

THE FRAGILE FRONT HAS ACTUALLY REMAINED IN WELL ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR FOLD LINES ON THIS SURFACE AND NO BENDS OR RONGWEAR.

THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW.

THERE ARE 5 LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND ONE RUNNING PARALLEL TO THE BOTTOM EDGE WHICH IS 2 INCHES LONG. ONE TINY NICK TO THE LAMINATE ACTUALLY ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A TINY CHIP ON BOTH LEFT CORNERS.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM LAMINATED EGES ARE PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT AND NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER

THE SPINE HAS SOME CRACKING TO THE LAMINATE AND A LITTLE FLAKING AT THE BOTTOM. THE TYPEFACE IS HOWEVER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS HIGHLY POLISHED AS THE FRONT, ONE LAMINATE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, 4-5 SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND A REALLY GOOD REPAIR MADE TO WHAT WAS ONE A SMALL TEAR IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER (SEE PICS)

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF UNLAMINATED PICTURE SURFACES. THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE.

THE POCKET THAT THE LP SITS IN WAS WHERE THE SMALL TEAR OCCURED THAT WAS REPAIRED, AND YOU CANNOT SEE IT FROM INSIDE THE GATEFOLD. TO ENSIRE IT SUFFERS NO FURTHER STRESS I WOULD SUGGEST KEEPING THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE

THE POLY LINED ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS A LITTLE CREASES ON THE CORNERS, BUT HAS PERFECTLY UNSPLIT SEAMS AND DIE CUT HOLE

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  EXCELLENT PLUS

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