THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK BLUE AND SILVER UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS

WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME LIGHT WISPY SURFACE HANDLING  LINES VISIBLE FOUR ON SIDE ONE, AND ONE ON SIDE TWO (ALL NON SOUNDING), PLUS A FEW MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES

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 AM DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL 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 RECORD PLAYS AS NEW ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO UNWORN .

PLEASE PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND THEN YOU WILL TRULY APPRECIATE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS 1965 RECORDING TRULY IS

FIRSTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SUPREMELY QUIET AND NOISE FREE, A SURE SIGN OF LITTLE PLAY ON A GOOD SYSTEM

YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY CLICKS OR LOUD POPS ANYWHERE THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH, OTHER THAN TWO LITTLE POPS IN THE LINKING GROOVE TO TRACK 5 OF SIDE ONE, AND ONE IN THE LINKING GROOVE TO TRACK TWO ON SIDE TWO. NONE AT ALL DURING THE MUSIC, SHOWING ONCE AGAIN JUST HOW SPECIAL THIS ALBUM IS

I CAN HONESTLY STATE THAT THERE IS NO MORE THAN THE ODD BARELY AUDIBLE SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, AND A FRACTION MORE IN THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE TWO

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE THIS PLAYTHROUGH JUST HAS TO GRADE AS NEAR MINT

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, PLAY ALL OF THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

ROBERT STACE LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE

I HAVE OFTEN MENTIONED JUST HOW THIN THESE EARLY STONES ALBUM SLEEVES ARE. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE QUALITY SLEEVES THAT THE BEATLES ALBUMS CAME IN IT, MAKE YOU WONDER WHY THEY DECIDED TO PUT WHAT WOULD BE VERY POPULAR RECORDS IN SLEEVES THAT COULDN'T HANDLE THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF THE VINYL

HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE A CAREFULLY HANDLED VINYL AND THEREFORE A CAREFULLY HANDLED SLEEVE WHICH IS IN SUPERB CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY CREASED ALL OVER, ON THIS COPY IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES WHATSOEVER. 

NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST THREE MINUSCULE ONES. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND INCREDIBLY ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL VERY SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO EACH ONE

THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER,WITH THE LAMINATE PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL. BOTH HAVE ULTRA SMOOTH SURFACES TO THE TOUCH AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF RUB

THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, ONE TINY SPECK OF FLAKE NEAR THE BOTTOM FEELABLE WHEN RUNNING A FINGER OVER IT  THE TAPERED ENDS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB TO THE VERY TIP ENDS. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED MOST OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE , SHOWING A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR IN THE FORM OF GREYING TO THE BLACK

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, SOME GLUE AGEING AT THE EDGES

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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