THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THA THE LP HAS HAD JUST THE ONE PLAY SINCE 1972, . THERE ARE STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE FROM THE ORIGINAL PRESS, SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE, A REAL RARITY AS THIS WAS SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM. TO HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED IS QUITE AMAZING
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS JUST PRISTINE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT . IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A TRULY OUTSTANDING DISC
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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. EVERY NOTE COMES THROUGH CRISP AND CLEAR. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE ANYWHERE, AND CERTAINLY NO CLICKS ETC. I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR AND DUST POPS OR STATIC AT ANY POINT EITHER.
THIS IS THE SECOND COPY OF THIS SUPERB ALBUM I HAVE MANAGED TO FIND IN THIS INCREDIBLE CONDITION OVER THE LAST 6 WEEKS, AND BOTH HAVE BEEN AS MINT AS YOU COULD EVER WISH TO FIND A 1972 ORIGINAL VINYL. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A VAULT COPY OF THIS CLASSIC LP
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS AN UNLAMINATED E.J .DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND AMAZINGLY FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR EVEN BENDS. INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE EITHER,APART FROM 1 MINISCULE ONE, NOR ARE THERE ANY ON THE PERIMETER EDGES.
OFTEN ON THESE ROUGH SURFACED NON LAMINATED SLEEVES, THE COLOURS GET RUBBED AND RINGWEAR APPEARS. THIS COPY HOWEVER HAS ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS AND NO RINGWEAR, NOT EVEN MILD RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE MINIMAL SHELF WEAR.
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND CLEAN AND AGAIN IS UNRUBBED, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE RAZOR SHARP CONDITION, WITAND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT WAS WHEN FIRST PUT TOGETHER BACK IN 1972
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND PRISTINE AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO COLOUR LOOS, BENDS, CREASES OR RECORD SHAPE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE BLACK INNER
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND APART FROM THE VERY LIGHTEST CREASE LINE IS IN UNSPLIT AND NEAR PERFECT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
AN ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING COPY OF THIS GREAT ALBUM, AND WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
