THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE OLIVE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

FINALLY THERE ARE JUST A HANDFUL OF SMALL  SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 46 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM AND TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW TINY WISPY SURFACE HANDLING LINES AND SOME LITTLE WISPY HAIRLINES

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE BIDDING. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION.

THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. A  REALLY CRISP CLEAN STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED. FAULTLESS!!!

THE VINYL IS SILENT WHERE IT SHOULD BE RIGHT FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE DISC, AND THIS CONTINUES RIGHT THROUGH THE WHOLE ALBUM.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES AT ALL. NO CLICKS AND EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

I HEARD ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES

AND NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS VINYL IS SUPERB AND EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

ORIGINAL WB GATEFOLD SLEEVE. THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF BEING HARD TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS ONE OF THOSE  POWDERY FINISHES THAT IS SERIOUSLY PRONE TO RUBBING AND RING WEAR.BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE THE PERFORATED CALENDAR ON MOST COPIES IS EITHER MISSING COMPLETELY OR THE PERFORATIONS HAVE STARTED TO TEAR MAKING IT VERY LOOSE

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE RED POWDERY SURFACE IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND AMAZINGLY THERE IS NO SIGN OF RING WEAR WHATSOEVER.THE RED FINISH WAS PLACED OVER A YELLOW BASE COLOUR AND ON THIS COPY THE UNDERCARD CANNOT BE SEEN

THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND TWO ON THE RIGHT EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS 99% FREE FROM ANY RUBBING WITH JUST A VERY LIGHT TINY SPECK OF WHITENING IN THE MIDDLE. THE BOTTOM EDGE DOES HAVE SOME SHELF RUB ALONG THE SURFACE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE GREENS AND BLUES ARE PERFECTLY INTACT, AND UNRUBBED. YET AGAIN THERE IS NO RING WEAR, OR EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE, AND INCREDIBLY NO SMALL LINES BY EITHER OF THE SPINES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A  PRISTINE PAIR OF PURPLE PANELS. THE REPLICA REAR SURFACE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION, WHILST THE PLAIN PURPLE SIDE IS UNBLEMISHED.

THE SPINE WITH THE CATALOGUE NUMBER ON IT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR

THE PERFORATED SPINE IS AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED PERFECTLY ATTACHED STILL. FLAT AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY NOTCH OF THE PERFORATION IS STILL ATTACHED.JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE TOP TIP END

OPENING THE SLEEVE UP TO REVEAL THE CALENDAR SHOWS IT TO BE IN MINT CONDITION. NO BLEMISHES AT ALL . THE CALENDAR IS PERFECTLY ATTACHED TO THE SLEEVE. I AM CERTAIN THIS HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OPENED

THE PLAIN WHITE DIECUT INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNBLEMISHED CONDITION

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS. IT IS THAT GOOD!!!!

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE CAN BE A BETTER COPY OF THIS STILL IN EXISTENCE

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