VERY HARD TO FIND FIRST PRESS WITHOUT THE EMI BOXES ON THE LABELS, AS MOST COPIES ARE REISSUES, BUT HERE WE HAVE THE GENUINE ARTICLE

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST 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 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES SHOWING THAT THE VINYL HAS HAD JUST A FEW PLAYS

THE VINYL

BOTH DISCS ABSOLUTELY GLEAM AND SPARKLE, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER INDAYLIGHT. IT DOES DISPLAY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION SOME SUPERFICIAL  AND  WISPY HAIRLINES.

 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 AS I AM WITH ALL OF THE LP'S THAT I LIST. I AM CONVINCED THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

I ALSO THINK THAT ANY ALBUM THAT HAS 'EX' ANYWHERE IN THE GRADING CAN BE THE MOST AMBIGUOUS OF ALL, AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO FULLY APPRECIATE EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE THINKING OF LAYING YOUR MONEY OUT ON.

WHAT YOU GET WITH THIS DOUBLE LP SET IS FIRSTLY AN ABSOLUTELY DISTORTION FREE SOUND. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS!!!

EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS REALLY EXCEPTIONAL

THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT UNDERLYING VINYL NOISE HEARD DURING THE QUIETEST MOMENTS, AND FOR THE MOST PART CANNOT BE HEARD. IN ADDITION SOME LIGHT POPS, TICS RANDOMLY SPREAD OUT.

CERTAINLY NO FRYING BACON, JUST A FEW MINOR IRRITANTS

CERTAINLY IT IS THE PERFROMANCE THAT SHINES THROUGH AND IF THE LITTLE IRRITANTS ARE NOT TOO MUCH TO BEAR THIS WILL MAKE A FINE ADDITION TO A COLLECTION

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, AS YOU ARE ABLE TO TAKE A FULL LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, THERE ARE NO SERIOUSLY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP  CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS , JUST A  LIGHT LINES RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND FIVE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE.

THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND THERE IS NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY INTACT

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.UNUSUALLY THERE IS NO LMINATE FLAKE, AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECT HERE. NOT EVEN ANY FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHING

THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE STILL EXTREMELY SHARP WITH JUST A FEW  TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW THAT THE LP'S HAVE BEEN REMOVED A FEW TIMES

THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS E.J.DAY AND CO SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT CONDITION. AGAIN A FEW SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. THE TOP LEFT CORNER HAS SOME WRINKLY LAMINATE LINES RUNNING ACROSS ITS TIP, AND A FINGERNAIL OF LIFT IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE TWO INNER PANELS, WHICH ARE UNLAMINATED AND IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNMARKED CONDITION

THE TWO ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVES ARE IN THE BEST CONDITION POSSIBLE, BARELY A CREASE LINE BETWEEN THEM, AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS, AND VERY VERY WHITE WITH JUST SOME LIGHT BROWNING WHERE THE GLUE HAS AGED

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

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