THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE  MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.

THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE IS JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINEs CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EACH SIDE SHOWING WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL THESE YEARS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED AND THERE IS NO FOGGING OR ANY MARKS  EITHER . I DAY LIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A  WISPY HAIRLINE. THIS ALBUM HAS SIMPLY NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES IN NEARLY 50 YEARS

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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, PURELY BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THE REPRODUCTION FROM THIS ALBUM IS JUST BRILLIANT. PURE FIRST PRESS AND THE DISC PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. TRYING TO FIND A GREAT COPY OF THIS ALBUM IS VERY HARD  AND MOST COPIES ARE TRASHED WITH SLEEVES TO MATCH. HERE WE HAVE WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A NEAR FAULTLESS PERFORMANCE.

THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE. THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED EITHER.

SECONDLY THERE IS NO FRYING BACON OR LOUD CLICKS

THE VINYL PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND HAS A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION. NOISE FREE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST STATIC TICS AND SPLIT SECONDS OF STATIC

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS BEAUTIFUL VINYL MINT 

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND JUST GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO BENDS, AND ABSOLUTELY NO RING WEAR .

THERE ARE JUST FIVE TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND ONE ON EACH OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, ALSO TWO VERY SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND THIS IS DUE TO THE SLEEVE RESIDING INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE.

THE SPINE IS  PERFECT. 100% OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT. NO PEEL OR FLAKE. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FLAT UNSQUAHED SURFACE, AND PRISTINE TAPERED ENDS

THE  OPENING EDGE ARE IS SHARP AS IT POSSIBLY COULD BE,WITH JUST TWO SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS ON ONE EDGE. THE LP HAS VERY CLEARLY BEEN HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE USUALLY SUFFERS FROM SERIOUS GRUBBINESS TO THE SURFACE ,AND USUALLY THE SILVER SHADE IS RUBBED AND RING WORN, BUT HERE WE HAVE A PRISTINE EXAMPLE.JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND TOP EDGE .

THE  POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SEAM SPLITS.A LITTLE AGEING TO THE EDGES

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE CORRECT INNER FOR THIS ALBUM HAVING THE MADE IN ENGLAND 058 ( MAY 1968) IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES  MINT MINUS

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