THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND WHITE DERAM LABELS ARE IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RED IS RICH AND VIBRANT, WHILST THE WHITE IS GLEAMING AND PURE WHITE AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THERE ARE JUST 3-4 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE EITHER,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS . WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS MINUSCULE AND TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL ANGEL HAIRLINES, PROBABLY EITHER THROUGH CLEANING OR SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL. EITHER WAY THEY ARE NON SOUNDING

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, BECAUSE 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 IS SUPERB. CLEAR AS A BELL AND HAS A GREAT STEREO SPLIT. THE RECORDINGS SHOULD DEMONSTRATE THIS CLARITY AS WELL AS HIGHLIGHTING THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE MUSIC WHATSOEVER

HAVING FULLY PLAYED THIS SUPERB VINYL I CAN CONFIRM THAT THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER, IN FACT NOT EVEN ANY VINYL NOISE WHICH IS PRETTY RARE ON DERAM PRESSINGS.

THE VINYL IS SPECTACULAR AND APART FROM THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC, AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY, THE VINYL IS SILENT!!

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!! FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH EVEN THOUGH UNDER A SPOTLIGHT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT MIGHT

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED 1ST ISSUE MOORE AND MATHES GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE NEW AS THE LAMINATE IS HIGHLY POLISHED. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . THREE SMALL ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE  AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A SMALL PATCH OF LAMINATE BUBBLING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.

THE TOP IS FULLY LAMINATED AND TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY WEAR WHATSOEVER. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIPS

THE SPINE IS STILL VERY FLAT WITH A GLEAMING LAMINATE FINISH. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ONLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUB ON THEM.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, AGAIN FULLY LAMINATE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LINES ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES PLUS A REALLY SMALL SPECK OF LAMINATE FLAKE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS CLEARLY WHY THIS LP HAS RARELY BEEN OUT OF THE COVER

THE BLUE AND WHITE STEREO INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINES. TOTALLY UNSPLIT AND PERFECTLY MATCHED WITH THE VINYL AS THE DATE 9-69 IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT

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