THE RECORD
THE LABELS
SUPERB JET BLACK TRACK LABEL WITH SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE ON SIDE ONE, AND ABSOLUTELY NONE WHATSOEVER ON SIDE TWO, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A TRULY PRISTINE FIRST PRESS VINYL
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, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MT 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 SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE DEATHLY SILENT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DUST POPS OR EVEN STATIC TICS
THIS IS A REAL GEM
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED
IT'S A CRACKING ORIGINAL 1971 FIRST PRESS, AND IN A VERY VERY COLLECTIBLE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
FOR ME THIS IS EASILY A FINAL UPGRADE COPY
THE SLEEVE

FIRST ISSUE SLEEVES HAVE THE MACNEILL WORDING VERTICALLY ON THE BACK SURFACE , NEXT TO THE SPINE. THERE IS ALSO A CODE HIDDEN AMONGST THE CLOUDS ON THE FRONT SURFACE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY PEN MARKS OR STAINS. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. AND THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED, WHICH IS UNUSUAL ON THIS SLEEVE WHICH HISTORICALLY HAS RING WEAR AND RUBBING.

THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR ALL THESE YEARS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS ONE MICROSCOPIC PRESSURE LINE BY THE TOP OF THE SPINE, BUT THAT'S ALL. THE JET BLACK SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER. A TINY DING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
