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 SPINDLE HOLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SPIDER LINES ROUND EITHER SIDE AND IS ABSOLUTELY MINT.  THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN. THERE IS EVEN STILL SHARDS OF VINYL LEFT INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE FROM THE PRESS. THIS WOULD HAVE FALLEN OUT WITH A COUPLE MORE PLAYS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHINGTO SEE. A BETTER EXAMPLE YOU WILL NOT SEE.

 

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW 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

ANY SLADE ALBUM IS TO BE PLAYED LOUD AND FRANKLY ANY BACKGROUND NOISE THAT MIGHT BE ON THE VINYL IS OFTEN MASKED BY THE LOUD RECORDING, SO IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE A LISTEN TO THE SLOWEST TRACK WITH THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO FULLY JUDGE THE VINYL

ON THIS ALBUM IT'S THE PENULTIMATE TRACK ' I DON' MIND'

THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY FROM START TO FINISH. FROM THE BAREST AUDIBLE TOUCH OF STATIC BEFORE THE OPENING TRACK TO THE FINAL RUN OUT THE ALBUM PRODUCES THE CLEANEST AUDIO. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST EXCEPTIONAL, AGAIN HEARD AT ITS BEST IN THE QUIETER MOMENTS.

THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERATINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

IN FACT THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS AN INCREDIBLE UNPLAYED ( MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY MAKES IT ONE PLAY). UNHEARD OF FOR ANY SLADE ALBUM

I CAN ONLY GRADE THIS PLAYTHOUGH AS MINT!!!

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FULLY LAMINATED MACNEILL SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. I HAVE LOST COUNT OF THE SLEEVES THAT I HAVE EXAMINED ONLY TO REJECT THEM FOR CREASE LINES AND SERIOUS LAMINATE LIFT. ON THIS SLEEVE THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINE BY THE SPINE. ALSO THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ISN'T ANY EVIDENCE OF RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND NEITHER ARE THERE ANY THUMB LINES WHICH USUALLY ARE TO BE FOUND NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE SPINE IS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD WISH TO FIND. IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND HAS NOT EVEN ONE THUMB TO FINGER SQUASH MARK. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE 100% LEGIBLE. NO RUBBING, SCRAPING OR SCRATCHES, JUST MINT IN FACT

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK. THE RECORD HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE!!!

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITON AS THE FRONT, GLEAMING  POLISHED LAMINATE THAT IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED. NOT EVEN ONE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT,WITH JUST THE TOP LEFT CXORNER HAVING BEING FOLDED FOR ALL THESE YEARS INSIDE THE SLEEVE, JUST HAS MILD AGING TO THE TWO SIDE EDGES WHERE THE GLUE HAS DRIED. IT HAS THE CORRECT 1072 (OCTOBER 1972) DATE PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THE LP WAS RELEASED 1ST NOVEMBER 1972

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT !!!

I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

 

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

GARRY
