THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITEBAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.  THERE ARE JUST 3-4 MINUSCULE SPIDERS LINE BY EACH HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS VINYL IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS. THERE IS SILL SHARDS OF RESIDUAL VINYL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE ON BOTH DISCS

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL  IS AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS YOU COULD WANT.EVEN WHEN PUT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND SOME SWIRLY CLEANING WISPS

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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I JUST KNOW THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE,MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS ALL THE WAY. JUST CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO VINYL NOISE JUST THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE STUFF , HEARD IF AT ALL IN THE MOST SILENT MOMENTS

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

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

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED  GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS SUSTAINED ZERO!!! AMOUNT OF COLOUR LOSS THROUGH RUBBING. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS,AND JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE IF ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT.

THERE ARE THREE SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND TWO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. 

THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR TO BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT BUT DOES HAVE LIGHT SHELF WEAR AND RUBBING TO IT. MAINLY ON THE LEADING EDGES, AND SOME OF THE TYPEFACE IS A LITTLE OBSCURED. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE RUBBED AS WELL

THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL  SHARP WITH JUST ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE REAR EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT WITH ONE STICKER REMOVAL AREA IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE THE TOP LAYER OF PAPER HAS BEEN REMOVED WITH THE STICKER

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS . THE THUMB LINES ARE VISIBLE ON THE INSIDE AND THERE ARE A FEW FINGERMARKS

THE  POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE UNSPLIT AND ARE BOTH IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT WRINKLE LINES.IMPORTANTLY THEY ARE THE CORRECT ORIGINAL INNERS HAVING THE 1271 DATE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT !!!!

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