THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE 8-9 SMALL SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FINE HANDLING LINES TO BE SEEN ON SIDE 2. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, A SMALL AMOUNT OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A FEW MORE ANGELHAIR HANDLING LINES

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 RECENTLY TAKEN THE DECISION TO RECORD ALL OF THE LP'S THAT I LIST FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THERE ARE THINKING ABOUT BIDDING ON

THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS A CRISP CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION. THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE NOTES OR VOCALS.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS, WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES, AND A SPATTERING OF LITTLE DUST POPS AND TICS AT RANDOM

OVERALL IT IS THE DISTORTION FREE CLARITY OF THE MONO REPRODUCTION THAT OVERIDES ALL ELSE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS RARE LP EXCELLENT PLUS

BUT I'LL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE. THIS SLEEVE IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION

RARE E.J DAY 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE (GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE IS THE COMMON ONE)

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE.NOR ARE THERE ANY SMALL CREASE LINES, OR EVEN THUMB NAIL LINES .

THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND THREE MORE EVEN SMALLER ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER IS SHELF WORN A LITTLE

NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE. A PERFECTLY GLOSS WHITE AND BLACK SURFACE WITH THE ONLY SPECK OF YELLOWING BEING IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT.ONLY THE VERY TIPS OF THE CORNERS SHOW RUB

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. A COUPLE OF LITTLE SCUFFS TOWARD'S THE BOTTOM, BUT OTHER THAN THIS ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS AND THEY ARE ALSO PERFECTLY CLEAN.ALTHOUGH THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS SUSTAINED ALITTLE DING WHICH HAS CREASED THE LAMINATE SOMEWHAT

THE VULNERABLE UNLAMINATED POWDERY BLACK SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. OFTEN FOUND RUBBED THROUGH TO THE WHITE SURFACE, THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND IS IMMACULATE. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RECORD SHAPE ANYWHERE

THE EMI ADVERTISING INNER IS CLEAN BUT A LITTLE AGED. I DON'T BELIEVE IT TO THE THE ORIGINAL ONE THAT CAME WITH THIS LP, WHICH I THINK WAS JUST PLAIN WHITE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

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