IT STATES IN THE BIO THAT THE LINE UP HAVE RECENTLY COMPLETED THE BAND'S FOURTH L.P FOR CHRYSALIS ENTITLED LIGHTS OUT, AND THAT THE ALBUM IS SCHEDULED FOR WORLDWIDE RELEASE AT THE END OF APRIL.

THIS IS A SUPERB PIECE OF MEMORABILIA TO ACCOMPANY THIS MINT MINUS ALBUM

• THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PASTEL  GREEN COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 3-4  TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES. AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING PRISTINE DISC THAT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SPOT A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. THIS IS THE BEST COPY OF THIS ALBUM I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS

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 PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT AS I BELIEVE IT'S WHAT EBAYERS WANT FROM SELLERS. IT IS OFTEN SAID AND FAIRLY SO THAT BUYING FROM EBAY CAN BE A TOTAL LOTTERY, AND THAT SELLERS OF LIMITED KNOWLEDGE DESCRIBE LP'S AS MINT AND ARE ACTUALLY ANYTHING BUT. WELL HERE YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE ACTUAL ALBUM YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. 

ITS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS.

THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS  RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR EARLY LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS. HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH .

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL

INCREDIBLY AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, NO VINYL NOISE

THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, AND A FRACTION MORE IN 'TRY ME '

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS GREAT VINYL AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

I DON'T BELIEVE I EVEN HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I WOULD GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS!!!  WITH EASE

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE  SLEEVE FROM HIPGNOSIS

THIS SLEEVE WAS ORIGINALLY SHRINKWRAPPED. POSSIBLE DONE BY CHRYSALIS TO IDENTIFY THE ALBUMS THAT HAD THE BIO INSERTED TO ENSURE THEY WENT TO THE RADIO STATIONS, OR POSSIBLY BY A SHOP TO ENSURE THE RECORDS COULD NOT BE HANDLED BY POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS. ANYWAY WHAT IS HAS DONE HAS PROTECTED THE SLEEVE APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER WHICH WAS EXPOSED WHEN THE SHRINK WAS SPLIT TO ALLOW THE LP TO COME OUT. THIS HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASE LINES ACROSS IT

THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES AND A PART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER NO CREASE LINES, AND EVEN THE TINY LINES THAT USUALLY FORM NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST ONE, WHICH I CAN SEE THROUGH THE SHRINK.THE COLOURS REMAIN PERFECT AND UNRUBBED . THE CORNER TIPS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUBBING WHERE THE SHRINK HAS SPLIT.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOURS AGAIN APART FROM THE EXPOSED RIGHT TIPS

THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE RED TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ONLY THE SLIGHTLY EXPOSED BOTTOM TIP END SHOWS A SPECK OF RUBBING

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH JUST A FEW SLIGHTLY ROUGH PATCHES

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE, NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES

THE 3 PAGE BIOGRAPHY IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION, JUST THE ONE FOLD ACROSS THE MIDDLE, AND THATS ALL 

THE SLEEVE  GRADES NEAR MINT

A SUPERB FIRST PRESS EXAMPLE OF THIS RECORD AND SLEEVE

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