A FIRST PRESS NEWS OF THE WORLD MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING ATTRIBUTES
FIRSTLY THE SLEEVE MUST NOT BE LAMINATED OR EVEN SEMI LAMINATED. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES WHEN THE GLOSSY SLEEVE WAS IN ACTUAL FACT THE REISSUE
THE CARD SEEN INSIDE THE SLEEVE ON AN ORIGINAL IS A CREAMY BROWN COLOUR WHERAS ON THE REISSUES ITS GREY
THE INNER SLEEVE MUST ALSO BE MATT NOT GLOSSY
THE INNER SLEEVE MUST HAVE ROUNDED CORNERS AND A THUMB NOTCH (THE GLOSSY INNER HAS SQUARE CORNERS
G & L APPEARS IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE THUMB NOTCH SIDE
THE MATRIX NUMBERS CAN BE AS LOW AS -1/-2 (NEVER SEEN A -1/-1) -2/-3/-4 ARE ALL VERY EARLY PRESSES DUE TO THE MILLIONS THAT WERE PRESSED FOR PRE SALE DEMAND AND ALL CAN BE CONSIDERED FIRST PRESSES
THE REISSUE MATRIX NUMBERS WILL HAVE FURTHER DIGITS FOLLOWING THE MATRIX NUMBER E.G -5-1-1-1 (THESE ARE POST 1981)
TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE BASE COLOUR ON THESE DELICATE LABELS ARE STILL PERFECT. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF MARKS OR STAINS ETC. THE COLOUR FULLY STRECTHES UNBLEMISHED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
I HAVE EXAMINED THE SPINDLE HOLE UNDER A SPOT LIGHT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE WHATSOEVER.
THE VINYL
INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL, AND LOOKS SUPERB IN DAYLIGHT. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES
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 INCLUDING THE RUN INS', THE RUN OUT'S AND THE LINKING GROOVES, 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 SUPERBLY 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 CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. EVERY NOTE HEARD AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED, CLEAN AND CLEAR. THE STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS WHATSOEVER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
ALL I HEARD WAS A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE STUFF IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND 3-4 INSIGNIFICANY SOLO LITTLE STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED EASILY RUBBED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ON THE SURFACE,
JUST ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND THAT IS VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF.NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE GREEN SURFACE WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO RINGWEAR AT ALL EITHER, NOT EVEN A TOUCH OF RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OR RUBBING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP WHICH HAS MINOR RUB
THE SPINE IS A HUGE WIDE SPINE THAT IS UNSQUASHED. THE COLOURS ARE ALL THERE, AND ITS ONLY THE VERY EXTREME TIPS THAT SHOW A TINY SPECK OF RUBBING
THE OPENING EDGE IS WITHOUT QUESTION AS SHARP AS YOU COULD EVER WISH TO HAVE A COPY. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE VERY OFTEN
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS MINT AS THE FRONT, AGAIN A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS COVER. DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS. YOU WILL SEE FROM THE PICTURES THAT THE SLEEVE WILL NOT LAY FLAT WHEN OPENED SHOWING THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN FORCED
THE FIRST PRESS DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO WEAR TO THE TOP OPENING EDGE OR THUMB NOTCH AND NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT. IT IS ALSO FLAT AND UNCREASED
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
