TO LISTEN TO THE LP, PLEASE PRESS THE PLAY BUTTONS BELOW (ONE PER SIDE). THE RECORDING WILL TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO FULLY LOAD

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABEL ON SIDE A IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS. THE DARK GREEN WB LABEL ON SIDE 2 IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, SHOWING NO RUBBING OR FADING OF THE COLOURS EITHER.

THERE ARE JUST 4-5 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST EXACTLY HOW CAREFULLY THIS WAS HANDLED AND HOW LITTLE PLAY IT HAS RECEIVED

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE  IS JUST A SINGLE NON SOUNDING SURFACE HAIRLINE ON TRACK THREE, SIDE TWO

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

THIS VINYL PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. FIRSTLY THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHICH IS CRISP AND CLEAN ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND JUST A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE  RUN IN GROOVE

NO TICS OR POPS THAT I HEARD AT ALL

I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE FACT IS THAT IT IS MADE OF A REALLY POROUS WHITE CARD WITH A LIGHTLY TEXTURED SURFACE,  AND UNLAMINATED , WHICH CAN USUALLY BE FOUND IN A TERRIBLE STATE

THIS ONE HOWEVER HAS CLEARLY BEEN WELL CARD FOR AND IS IN VERY CLEAN ORIGINAL CONDITION AND HAS A FULLY WORKING MOUTHPIECE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE VIRTUALLY ALL OVER WITH JUST SOME LIGHT NATURAL AGEING AND HANDLING, MAINLY TO THE EDGES. THERE IS NO BENDING OR CREASING ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE OTHER THAN A VERY LIGHT CREASE LINE ON THE TOP FLAP ON THE RIGHT CORNER, AND ALL OF THE EXPOSED EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND JUST A MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUB ON ONE CORNER TIP

THE SLEEVE HAS A UNIQUE FEATURE IN THAT THE FACE ON THE FRONT CAN BE ANIMATED BY PUSHING DOWN ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE SLEEVE, WHICH IN ITSELF IS FINE, BUT WITH CONSTANT USAGE THIS EDGE WEARS BADLY AND THE FACE WORKINGS SOME TIMES DO NOT. HERE WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE WORKING FACE AND MECHANISM. THE TOP EDGE WHICH IS ALSO WHERE THE ALBUM IS PLACED INTO THE SLEEVE IS IN THE BEST CONDITION IMAGINABLE. THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR TO IT OR ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES FOR THAT MATTER

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN  AS THE FRONT, AGAIN WITH PERFECT EDGES. LIKE THE FRONT THERE IS MINIMAL AGEING AND HANDLING  TO THE EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE ALSO OPENS UP TO REVEAL THE CAN CAN IMAGE INSIDE, AND THESE TWO PANELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION

THE RARE POSTER INSERT IS MADE OF A VERY THIN PAPER, AND THIS ONE STILL HAS RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINES, IS VERY WHITE, AND UNCREASED, AND HAS NOT BEEN PLACED ON ANY WALL

 THE ORIGINAL DIE CUT INNER IS THE ONLY PART OF THE SET THAT SHOWS SOME CREASING. THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE LP HAS SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE UNPLAYED FOR ALL THESE YEARS WITH THE INNER SLEEVE SLIGHTLY CRUMPLED

THE SLEEVE GRADES VERY CLOSE TO NEAR MINT

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