THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

CBS ORANGE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE, JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE CATALOGUE NUMBER ON SIDE ONE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. CLEARLY A WELL CARED FOR 46 YEAR OLD ALBUM

A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 3-4  SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT AND IS MADE OF THE VERY HEAVY VINYL THAT MOST LATE 60'S RECORDINGS WERE PRESSED ON.IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

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 DO 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 CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION

I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THE INCREDIBLE STEREO SOUND THIS RECORDING PRODUCES AND ALL OF THIS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDEDVINYL NOISE AND ONLY A FEW SPLIT SECONDS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING DISC NEAR MINT!!!!

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

E.J DAY LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES TO THE LAMINATE OR ANY BENDS. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION WITH ONLY A LITTLE LIGHT RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE

THERE ARE ZERO!! LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, JUST ONE ON ARTS FACE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER.

THE LAMINATE ITSELF IS FREE FROM AMY PEELING OR FLAKING

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH THE LAMINATE RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, AND ONLY THAT SMALL PATCH OF RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP BEING VISIBLE

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNLAMINATED. THERE ARE NO SQUASHED OR FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS  SHARP WITH A LITTLE ROUGHNESS TO THE FRONT EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE FRAGILE POROUS WHITE CARD SURFACE WHICH USUALLY WEARS BADLY AND STAINS EASILY, BUT HERE WE HAVE ONE THAT HAS RETAINED VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE ORIGINAL WHITE SURFACE WITH JUST AN ALMOST INVISIBLE SPECK OF HANDLING TO THE TOP EDGE

THE STEREO STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE ORIGINAL CBS INNER SLEEVE IS MISSING AND HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A TEXTURED WHITE ONE OF THE SAME ERA

TOTALLY UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED AND STILL PERFECTLY WHITE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT !!!

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