THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK BLUE AND SILVER UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS

WHEN PLACED A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS PRISTINE

THE TEST PLAY

THE RECORD PLAYS AS NEW ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER

PLEASE PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND THEN YOU WILL TRULY APPRECIATE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS  RECORDING TRULY IS

FIRSTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT  

YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY CLICKS OR LOUD POPS ANYWHERE THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER
NO TICS OR POPS AND NO AUDIBLE STATIC HEARD ANYWHERE

A TRULY SUPREME PLAYTHROUGH

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE THIS AUDIO GRADES MINT

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, PLAY ALL OF THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

ROBERT STACE LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE

I HAVE OFTEN 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

HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE A CAREFULLY HANDLED VINYL AND THEREFORE A CAREFULLY HANDLED SLEEVE WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A HIGHLY POLISHED LAMINATE FREE FROM ANY LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE

THERE ARE  EIGHT PRESSURE LINE SON THE SPINE, OF WHICH THE LOWEST ONE IS LONG AND STRETCHES ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER DOWN TO THE BOTTOM EDGE. THERE ARE FOUR OF THE TOP EDGE, AGAIN ONE OF THEM IS A LITTLE LONGER THAN THE OTHERDS AND ARCS TOWARDS THE RIGHT SIDE. THEN THERE ARE THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL  SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO A COUPLE OF THE TIP ENDS

THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER,WITH THE LAMINATE PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL. BOTH HAVE ULTRA SMOOTH SURFACES TO THE TOUCH AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF RUB

THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, ONE TINY SPECK OF FLAKE NEAR THE BOTTOM FEELABLE WHEN RUNNING A FINGER OVER IT  THE TAPERED ENDS HAVE NO RUB AT THE TIP ENDS. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY PINCHES TO THE RGIDITY OF THE SPINE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH A TINY BIT OF LIGHT FEATHERING

THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED MOST OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE , SHOWING A LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYINH ON THE RIGHT EDGE. THE NUMBER 74 HAS BEEN NEATLY INKED IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, SOME GLUE AGEING AT THE EDGES

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+

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