THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TEXTURED ORANGE CBS LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLES INDICATING THAT THIS SET HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. NO MARKS OR LINES ANYWHERE, AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO SPOT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES.

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 NOW 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

THIS VINYL PRODUCES A SUPERB LOUD CUT STEREO REPRODUCTION, THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR TO THE ALBUM

THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION REALLY IS SUPERB WITH NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND NO CLICKS EITHER

I CAN'T SAY I EVEN HEARD ANY VINYL NOISE OR AND TINY DUST POPS EITHER

PERHAPS THE ODD SECOND OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT . IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF!!!

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR

WEST BROTHERS ORIGINAL HEAVY CARD FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL SUPREMELY GLOSSY AND SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND ONLY FIVE BARELY VISIBLE  LITTLE LAMINATE LINES THAT FORM NEAR THE SPINE . CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALS JUST ONE MORE MINUSCULE LINE ON THE TOP EDGE.

THERE ARE TWO REALLY SMALL THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR, NOR EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS FULLY INTACT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE VERY TIPS OF THE BOTTOM CORNERS WHICH HAVE LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE LAMINATED SPINE HAS AGAIN ABSOLUTELY NO SHELF WEAR. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND EVERY SINGLE LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINE HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND  JUST THE ABSOLUTE TIP ENDS HAVE THE LIGHTEST RUBBING TO THEM

THE REAR SURFACE WHICH IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY SUFFERS FROM SHELF RUB, BUT THIS COPY IS NEAR PERFECT. ALL OF THE PICTURES ARE PRISTINE AND HAVE NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER. AND THE BLACK BASE COLOUR HAS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SHADOWS OF VERY LIGHT RUB JUST ON THE PERIMETER EDGES

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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