THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE SUPERB MOUNTAIN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE

THE VINYL

 THIS COPY IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. STILL RETAINS ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW.IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE

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 P FROM START TO FINISH 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

I ALSO DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED ALBUM, PURELY BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT!!

I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED

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 STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT AND SHOWS OFF THE POWER THAT THIS BAND GENERATES.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITH A VERY LOUD AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AND NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT THERE IS ANY OCCASIONAL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, PERHAPS THE ODD SEMI SECOND

NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

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

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED ROBOR SINGLE SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. LAMINATED SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFER FROM SEVERE LAMINATE LINES PARTICULARLY NEAR THE SPINE, BUT THIS SLEEVE DOESN'T HAVE ANY LAMINATE LINES WHATSOEVER!!

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TRULY MINT!!. GLEAMING SURFACE AND TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NOT ONE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SHOWING JUST SOME LIGHT RUBBING TO SMALL PATCHES. THE TOP EDGE HAS TWO TINY AREAS ONE AT THE RIGHT TIP AND THE OTHER AN INCH IN FROM THE LEFT TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER AND A COUPLE MORE SMALL PATCHES ALONG THE EDGE. I SUSPECT THIS WAS DONE PRIOR TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER PURCHASING THE LP.

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION. NO MAJOR COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THERE ARE TWO PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING, ONE ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE JUST TO THE RIGHT OF  'MOUNTAIN RECORDS' AND THE OTHER ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE JUST UNDER THE LETTER 'M'

THE OPENING EDGE IS  RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE , NOT EVEN ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE,AGAIN HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL COLOURS AND IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR OTHER PERIMETER EDGES

THE ORIGINAL CARD PICTURE  INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL MINT UNSPLIT CONDITION. NOT ONE WRINKLE OR CREASE LINE, FURTHER PROOF THAT THE LP HASN'T BEEN HANDLED

THE ORIGINAL FAN CLUB INSERT SHEET IS ALSO IN MINT UNCREASED CONDITION. SHOWING ALL OF THE BACK CATALOGUE ON ONE SIDE, THE OTHER HAS  SIX ITEMS FOR SALE FROM THE 1979 NO MEAN CITY WORLD TOUR, T-SHIRTS ETC, PLUS AN INVITATION TO JOIN THE FAN CLUB

I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

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