THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK RED BOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 3-4 BARELY VISIBLE SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I BELIEVE WHY THE SLEEVE HAS RETAINED ITS CONDITION, THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF IT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES IN 42 YEARS

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TO BE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ALL I COULD MAKE OUT WAS JUST A FEW LITTLE WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW TINY HANDLING  LINES THAT ARE TOTALLY NON SOUNDING 

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 DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL 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 CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW AMAZED I WAS WHEN I PLACED THE STYLUS ONTO THE VINYL AND GOT NEAR SILENCE!!!, THEN THE MUSIC STARTED AND THE FIRST THING THAT BECAME OBVIOUS WAS THAT THERE WAS NO DISTORTION TO THIS CRISP, LOUD MONO REPRODUCTION WHATSOEVER. THE CLARITY AND LOUDNESS OF THIS PRESS IS JUST OUTSTANDING

AS TRACK ONE CAME TO AN END I WAS LISTENING INTENTLY FOR ANY VINYL NOISE IN THE LINKING GROOVE. THERE WAS NONE!!!

THIS LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC HEARD ONLY IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN ONE LITTLE DUST POP THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

NOT EVEN A TOUCH OF VINYL NOISE AS THE TRACK RUNS INTO THE DEAD WAX AT THE END

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE RECORD MINT !!!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SLEEVE THAT YOU WILL JUST BE ASTOUNDED TO SEE. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS SLEEVE YOU ARE EVER LIKELY TO COME ACROSS,

YOU KNOW HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS TO FIND ANY EARLY ORIGINAL STONES SLEEVE IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, BUT THIS COPY IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION.

I HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED JUST HOW THIN THESE EARLY STONES ALBUM SLEEVES ARE. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE QUALITY SLEEVES THAT THE BEATLES ALBUMS CAME IN IT, MAKE YOU WONDER WHY THEY DECIDED TO PUT WHAT WOULD BE VERY POPULAR RECORDS IN SLEEVES THAT COULDN'T HANDLE THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF THE VINYL. VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY YOU WILL COME ACROSS WITH HAVE SERIOUS CREASE LINES, THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE, RING WEAR, NUMEROUS LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND A VERY DIRTY AND OFTEN STAINED REAR SURFACE

SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IT HAS NOT LOST ONE IOTA OF IT'S ORIGINAL DAY OF RELEASE SHEEN, AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID BACK IN 19670

THERE IS NOT ONE CREASE LINE ANYWHERE, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. NO THUMB LINES EITHER AT ANY POINT OR PLACE ON THE COVER

NOW THEN SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE!! JUST THREE REALLY SMALL ONES

FINALLY NOT ONE IOTA OF RINGWEAR OR EVEN SERIOUS RECORD SHAPE, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF IMPRESSION IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT. HONESTLY I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS SOMEHOW SURVIVED 47 YEARS AND NOT SUFFERED ANY CREASING.

INCREDIBLY NO LAMINATE LIFT WHATSOEVER

TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR.ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND STRETCHES FULLY FROM ONE CORNER TIP TO THE OTHER. NO SHELF WEAR OR RUBBING

 THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. INCREDIBLY THERE IS JUST ONE HALF NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASH, AND THE TAPERED ENDS ARE 100% UNRUBBED, EVEN AT THE VERY TIPS

THE REAR SURFACE IS EQUALLY AS AMAZING AS THE FRONT.

THE SURFACE IS PURE WHITE AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR THAT THIS SLEEVE WAS SOMEHOW PROTECTED FROM NEW, AND HONESTLY THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON IT WHATSOEVER.ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. THERE IS NO RING WEAR TO THIS SURFACE EITHER

THE ORIGINAL RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, JUST SOME LIGHT CREASING TO THE CORNERS. THE CORRECT 7-70 IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER DEFINING THE DATE  AS JULY 1970

THIS MUSEUM QUALITY PIECE OF STONES HISTORY CAN HAVE NO OTHER GRADE THAN MINT MINUS

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