THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE TWO SEMI-CIRCULAR DULL MARKS EMBEDDED IN THE VINYL ON SIDE TWO. NON SOUNDING OF COURSE. PLUS A FEW TINY DULL SPECKLES. NO HAIRLINES OR ANY OTHER MAN MADE MARK

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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 CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRSTAL CLEAR. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE VINYLS THAT YOU NEED TO PLAY LOUD AS IT WAS INTENDED

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BRILLIANT AND THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND, NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR CLICKS ETC

NO VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH, AND THERE IS JUST A TINY BIT OF EXTREMELY LIGHT BACKGROUND RIGHT AT THE END OF SIDE TWO (PROBABLY NEEDS A FURTHER CLEAN)

OTHER THAN THIS THERE ARE 1-2 OF THE TINIEST STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO  NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED JAMES UPTON  GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

ONE OF THE COMMON PROBLEMS THIS SLEEVE IS COLOUR LOSS AND RING WEAR. THIS SUPERB SLEEVE HAS NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO RING WEAR

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES.

THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE,  NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM, NOR ARE THERE ANY THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE COLOURS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND WITHOUT MAJOR FLAWS, AND THIS ONE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. CLEARLY THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER. JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END FRONT TOP

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE AND THE ENDS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED. 

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW

THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY INTACT AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR. NOR ARE THERE ANY LINES NEAR THE SPINE. OR INDEED ON ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A MINT PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT!! NO CREASES OR MARKS

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT!!!
