THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE  GREY AND BROWN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT MINT!! CONDITION. THE  BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.

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

THERE IS BARELY ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS CLEAN AND STILL VERY GLOSSY. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 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.

THIS ALBUM IS VIRTUALLY SILENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND ANY UNWANTED NOISE WOULD BE UNBEARABLE. 

THERE IS NO  BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS

NO  EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO SOUND IS IMMENSE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.

NO STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD 2-3 MINUSCULE DUST POPS AND WHEN I PLAYED OVER THEM AGAIN THEY WERE NOT THERE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MINT MINUS FOR THE REPRODUCTION.


THE SLEEVE

 

THIS ALBUM SOLD IN THE MILLIONS, BUT TO FIND A SLEEVE THAT IS STILL IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION IS VERY HARD. THIS IS DUE TO THE DUSTY NON LAMINATED FINISH WHICH RUBS VERY EASILY. ALSO THE FACT THE THE LP WAS VERY POPULAR MEANT THAT IT WAS FOREVER IN AND OUT OF THE SLEEVE, CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS CREASE LINES ON THE SPINE AND OTHER EDGES, PLUS SEVERE WEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES AND SPINE DUE TO SLIDING IT IN AND OUT OF A COLLECTION. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE ONE THAT IS NEAR PERFECT

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT HAS A PERFECT BROWN COLOURING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SURFACE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RUB TO IT WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY BIT INCLUDING THE BORDER IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT. THE EMBOSSED AREA IS STILL PRISTINE AS WELL

NO CREASES WHATSOEVER, AND PRISTINE SHARP AND SQUARE CORNERS. NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE TWO TINY LINES AGAINST THE SPINE.WHICH ARE SO LIGHT THEY HAVE NOT IMPACTED THE BROWN COLOUR. NO WHITE SHOWING THROUGH. NO LINES AGAINST THE TOP EDGE, NONE AGAINST THE BOTTOM, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO CORNER WEAR

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND HAS ABSOLUTELY NO SQUASHING AT ALL  THE  GOLD TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE COLOUR IS ALSO PERFECT ALL THE WAY ALONG

THE  OPENING EDGE  IS RAZOR SHARP ,NO THUMB NAIL NICKS AND NO BURRING

THE REAR SURFACE IS TOTALLY MINT, DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE TINY LINES AGAINST THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES   MINT MINUS

 

 

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