THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TAN ORIGINAL PRESS LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM ANYWHERE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND ONLY WHEN EXAMINED UNDER LIGHT CAN I BARELY MAKE OUT TWO VERY FAINT SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE

THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN IN DAYLIGHT, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW  WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL HAS A RED TRANSLUCENT HUE

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 NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CERTAIN THAT ANY BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON AND I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE FOR MY CUSTOMERS.

THIS FIRST PRESS ALBUM PERFORMS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THE MOST OBVIOUS THING WHEN HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IS THE CLARITY AND LOUDNESS OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. IT IS  JUST SUPERB. EVERY NOTE HEARD AS IT WAS INTENDED

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

NO HEAVY CRACKLING OR CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE APART FROM A COUPLE OF LIGHT ROTATIONS OF STATIC IN TRACK ONE SIDE TWO, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THERE ARE NOT EVEN ANY OF THE LITTLE DUST POPS THAT YOU WILL FIND ON MOST DISCS

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AS MINT MINUS 

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED , HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN AMAZING CONDITION

THIS SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO FIND IN ANY DECENT SORT OF COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED, AND HAS DELICATE COLOURS IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER FOR CERTAIN

THE FRONT SURFACE IS INCREDIBLE. PERFECT COLOUR ALL THE WAY ACROSS. NO CREASES CREASE LINES EITHER, AND UNBELIEVABLY THERE ARE NO SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. , AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW. THERE ARE NO LINES ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.

THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHING ACROSS THE SURFACE, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIP ENDS ARE IMMACULATE,WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST AS MINT WITH A PIN PRICK  OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT TIPS.

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. AGAIN ITS AMAZING THAT THE SURFACE HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND HERE ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AS WELL. PERFECT COLOUR, AND ONLY A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE VERY EDGE OF THE BOTTOM TIP

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS GOOD AS THE FRONT AND I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RUBBING TO THIS DELICATE SURFACE. ONE TINY LINE ON THE SPINE BUT THAT'S IT

ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE ON EITHER THE FRONT OR BACK SURFACES!!

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO  PERFECT INNER PANELS WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB LINES

THE ORIGINAL DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS PRESENT AND IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, JUST A COUPLE OF CREASE LINES TO THE CORNERS. THE ORIGINAL OWNER ALSO HAD THE FORESIGHT TO PLACE AN ANTI-STATIC POLY INNER INSIDE THE SLEEVE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE A STUNNING MINT !!!

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