THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. BOTH COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, WITH THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHING INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE,THERE ARE 1-2 VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. THE SURFACE IS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE HANDLING LINES TO BE SEEN. THERE IS ALSO SOME DULL SPECKLES EMBEDDED IN THE VINYL MAINLY ON SIDE TWO. TOTALLY NON SOUNDING BUT VISIBLE IN LED LIGHT
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 BECAUSE 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 SUPERB ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
THE ODD SECOND OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 MINUSCULE LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THIS FIRST PRESS RARITY FROM 1973
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT OR EVEN MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FIRST ISSUE ROBERT STACE UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH ROGER DEAN ARTWORK
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO STAINS OR MARKS. THE ORIGINAL COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER, APART FROM JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE WHERE THERE IS A SCUFF TO THE EDGE AND A COUPLE OF SMALL WHITE AREAS JUST UNDER THE EDGE. THESE CAN CLEARLY BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES I HAVE POSTED

THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LINES RIGHT NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE AS MENTIONED HAS A SMALL SCUFF ON THE FRONT EDGE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER AND A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS JUST A FEW TINY WHITE FLECKS VISIBLE ON THE COLOURED SURFACE
THE SPINE IS MAINLY FLAT WITH FEW DIMPLES ON THE SURFACE, THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY VISIBLE AND LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME LUSH CONDITION AS THE FRONT. A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE IS VISIBLE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR MINT INNER PANELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT INNER HAVING 6-73 (JUNE1973, THE MONTH OF RELEASE) PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. LIGHTLY AGED WITH SOME GLUE MOTTLING. UNSPLIT HOWEVER AND ONLY LIGHTLY WRINKLED
