I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF LISTING A FEW COPIES OF THIS GREAT ALBUM OF THE YEARS, BUT NOTHING I HAVE EVER SOLD COMPARES TO THE INCREDIBLE COPY I HAVE UP FOR GRABS RIGHT NOW. I AM 100% CERTAIN THAT UNTIL TODAY THIS ALBUM HAD NEVER BEEN PLAYED.
TO FIND SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SUCH AS THIS IS A MINT CONDITION IS, WELL UNHEARD OF I WOULD SUGGEST.
THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE FINAL UPGRADE COPY
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE V DARK GREEN A SIDE HAS A RICH DEEP COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THERE IS NO RUBBING OR ANY STAINING OR PEN MARKS ANYWHERE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, BEING PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE HALF APPLE SIDE IS ALSO AS YOU WOULD WANT IT, WITH THE VULNERABLE WHITE AREAS STILL PERFECTLY WHITE, AGAIN THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUNF EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE, AND COUPLED WITH THE AMAZING CONDITION OF THE VINYL, I SUGGEST APART FROM MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY TODAY THAT THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFUL APPLE LABELLED VINYL, THAT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED IN 1971. THE SHEEN SHOWS THIS TO BE AN UNTOUCHED DISC, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR HANDLING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. EVEN HOLDING THIS UPTO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE, PERHAPS A COUPLE OF MINUTE WISPS, BUT SERIOUSLY NOTHING AT ALL!!!
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 AM NOW DOING WITHALL OF MY LISTINGS AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUINITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE ALBUM PLAYS FAULTLESSLY. AS SOON AS THE STYLUS HITS THE RUN IN GROOVE, THERE IS TOTAL SILENCE. THE MUSIC STARTS WITH A CRISP CLEAR CLARITY THAT IS SECOND TO NONE.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE RECORDING, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER
NO CLICKS OR POPS, AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC, JUST A PURE CLEAN STEREO REPRODUCTION
EVERY LINKING GROOVE IS SILENT, AND SO ARE THE TWO RUN OUT GROOVES.
AN UNBELIEVEABLE COPY
I GRADE THIS MINT!!! WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE. SOME ARE LAMINATED ONLY ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT THIS ONE IS LAMINATED ON THE INSIDE AS WELL
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNMARKED THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND THERE IS NO FLAKE OR PEEL TO THE SURFACE. THERE ARE ALSO NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE. NO DENTS OR BENDS, AND AMAZINGLY ONLY ONE SMALL LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM AMY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND UNWORN
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND STILL PROPERLY PROTECTED BY THE LAMINATE. NO PEEL OR FLAKE. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOUR HAS FADED LIGHTLY
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, RAZOR SHARP AND NO THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.JUST TWO SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD SHAPE EITHER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER LAMINATED SURFACE.
THE ORIGINAL APPLE PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED WITH THE SET AND IS IN UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION. JUST LIGHTLY BROWNED WITH AGE ON THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
