THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND WHITELABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND WHITE LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 304 TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE , AND COUPLED WITH THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL AND HOW THIS PLAYS I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE IN THE LAST 40 YEARS

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITON. THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE OF THE VINYL HAS BEEN RETAINED WITH A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS SPOTLESS. NO MARKS OR HANDLING LINES, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW WISPY LINES

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 NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE ALBUMS PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH. CLEARLY THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WHICH HAS A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND WEIGHTED STYLUS WHICH WAS ALSO IN UNWORN CONDITION

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE DECCA FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAR WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO

THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE AND ABSOLUTELY NO STATIC WHATSOEVER

I CANNOT EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A BETTER A AND CLEANER COPY OF THIS ALBUM OUT THERE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL PLAYTHROUGH MINT!!!!

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD FROM ROBERT STACE

THE FRONT SURFACE JUST MAGNIFICENT. TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.

THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND ONLY FOUR REALLY MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE

NO THUMB LINES EITHER AND NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE, AND ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE ON EITHER FRONT OR REAR SURFACES

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN MINT CONDITION, WITH NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY INTACT. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, NOT EVEN ANY WEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND INCREDIBLY NOT ONE THUMB NAIL NICK TO EITHER SIDE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. NO CREASE LINES AND A GLEAMING LAMINATED SURFACE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER PANELS

IT IS VERY CLEAR THIS ALBUM SLEEVE WAS HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, WITH JUST ONE CORNER HAVING A CREASE LINE ACROSS IT

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS 

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