THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. BOTH COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE BLUE BAND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE,THERE ARE 4-5 VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS HAD LIGHT PLAY
THE VINYL
ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THE VINYL DISPLAYS LIGHT AND WISPY HAIRLINES WHICH DO NOT SOUND OUT, AS YOU WILL HEAR WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE RECORDING
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 AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THIS WELSH TRIO PRODUCCED SOME OF THE BEST HEAVY METAL OF THE EARLY SEVENTIES, INTERMINGLED WITH BEAUTIFUL AND GENTLE SLOWER TRACKS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I URGE YOU TO LISTEN TO THE SUPERB 'YOUNG IS A WORLD' WHICH IS THE QUIETEST TRACK AND WILL DEMONSTRATE WHY THIS VINYL PERFROMS SO WELL
THE SOUND GENERATED IS UNDISTORTED IN ANY WAY, AND THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR LOUD CLICKING, JUST THE OCCASIONAL VERY MILD TRACE OF THE LIGHTEST STUFF, AND A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS, AND THATS ALL.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED ISSUE OF THIS FIRST PRESS SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN THE MAIN IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT LINES DOWN THE SPINE AND A FEW LIGHT CREASE LINES TOP RIGHT AND BOTTOM LEFT CORNERS, ALSO A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE
THE BOTTOM AND TOP EDGES ARE ALSO LIGHTLY RUBBED, AS IS THE SPINE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS STILL VERY LEGIBLE HOWEVER
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP, AND THE REAR SURFACE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION TO THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN AN UNSPLIT, LIGHTLY CREASED CONDITION
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
