THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN HEAVILY TEXTURED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AS IS THE AREA SURROUNDING THE LOGO.  FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 3-4  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 44 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN VERY GLOSSY CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.  . IT IS CLEAR JUST BY LOOKING AT IT, THAT IT HAS BARELY SEEN A TURNTABLE IN ITS 44 YEARS.IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, PLUS A FEW FINE HANDLING LINES AND MARKS

 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 RECORDED THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I AM CONVINCED 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

A REALLY CLEAN AND CRISP MONO SOUND THAT NEEDS PLAYING LOUDLY

CLEARLY WHAT PLAY THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A TOP SYSTEM WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS TRACKED AND WEIGHTED CORRECTLY, AND UNWORN BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAY.

THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO HEAVY LOUD CLICKS.

ALSO THERE SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN THE QUIETEST SPOTS , BUT NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

ALL YOU WILL HEAR IS THE ODD RANDOM LITTLE DUST POP/TIC HERE AND THERE

HOWEVER IT'S THE SUPERB MONO REPRODUCTION THAT COMES BLASTING THROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM AND JUDGE ITS QUALITY FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

ABSOLUTELY SUPERB ORIGINAL 1968 UNLAMINATED FLIPBACKED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE AND THE ORANGE BASE COLOUR IS STILL VERY RICH AND VIBRANT.

THERE ARE FOUR NEAR INVISIBLE LITTLE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS A LIGHT LINE RUNNING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ACROSS THE SLEEVE AND THIS APPEARS TO HAVEBEEN THERE PRIOR TO PUTTING THE SLEEVE TOGETHER

THERE IS NO RING WEAR TO THE SLEEVE, OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE FOR THAT MATTER

THE TOP EDGE HAS A SMALL SCUFF OD COLOUR LOSS NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER TIP, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE JUST HAS THE TWO TIP ENDS LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE SPINE IS ALSO FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ONLY THE TIP ENDS SHOWING A SPECK OF RUBBING

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES

 THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS THAT HAVE NO DAMAGE TO THEM WHATSOEVER. THE WHITE CARD IS STILL SUPERBLY WHITE AND ONLY THE VERY OPENING EDGE HAS LIGHT HANDLING. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, LIGHTLY CREASED, AND ALSO LIGHTLY AGED

THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
