THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER FONTANA LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE JET BLACK  BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SILVER LOGO IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE AND THERE ARE JUST 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL HAS RETAINED ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT STILL LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, PLUS A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES

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 TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE MONO FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THIS SOUND WHICH IS QUITE INCREDIBLE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE TYPE OF RECORD PLAYER THAT WAS BEING USED IN THE 60'S.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO HEAVY VINYL NOISE WHICH IS AGAIN A LITTLE SURPRISING ON THIS ULTRA HEAVY VINYL

THERE IS NO LIGHT STATIC EITHER, JUST A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE DUST POP / TIC HERE AND THERE

THE DISTORTION FREE CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND STANDS OUT ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE HOWEVER

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

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK PASTEOVER REAR SURFACE

THIS IS A VERY FLIMSY 60'S SLEEVE, THAT IS USUALLY FOUND SERIOUSLY CREASED, BUT HERE WE HAVE A COPY THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY WELL.

THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THE LAMINATE SHOWS NO DAMAGE TO IT ANYWHERE.

NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS. INCREDIBLY THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, AND JUST TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, WITH ONE STRETCHING HALFWAY ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A LITTLE LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE BY THE RIGHT CORNER

NO RING WEAR, AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% STILL FULLY LAMINATED AND THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM TIP TO TIP. THE TWO RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS HAVE THE MOST MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUBBING TO THEM

THE SPINE IS UNSQUASHED AT ANY POINT . ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND THERE IS NO RUBBING EVEN TO THE TOP OR BOTTOM TIPS. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS AS NEW WITH JUST A SPECK OF BURRING IN A COUPLE OF TINY PATCHES.

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A STANDARD FLIPBACK ARRANGEMENT, BUT THIS HAS BEEN PASTED OVER WITH THE FACTORY BACK PANEL. THE PASTEOVER IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION STILL VERY CLEAN AND WHITE WITH JUST SOME LIGHT HANDLING TO THE PERIMETERS

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT AND BARELY WRINKLED, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE SEAMS

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS

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