 TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

THE LABELS

THE DEEP BLUE MATT LABELS ARE PRISTINE. TOTALLY BLEMISH FREE AND UN-RUBBED. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO MINT . THERE ARE 6-8 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING LIMITED PLAY FROM THIS 52 YEAR OLD ALBUM

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY SOME VERY FINE AND SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 IN THE FIRM BELIEF 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 OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS JUST AWESOME, AND BOTH LOUD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR AND TRULY REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW A FIRST PRESS SHOULD SOUND

THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS OR BACKGROUND CRACKLE ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE.

THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE DUST POPS

PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE VOLUME AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  NEAR MINT 

THE SLEEVE

E.J DAY FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN THE MOST AMAZING ORIGINAL CONDITION. THIS ALSO HAS ONLY THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE REAR SURFACE, AND PATENTS PENDING IN SMALL TYPE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT REAR CORNER

THIS INCREDIBLE COPY HAS A GLOSS THAT IS JUST AS HIGHLY POLISHED AS CAN BE, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE PERFECT LAMINATE WHATSOEVER

THERE ARE JUST TWO LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE (ONE NEAR THE TOP, AND ONE SLIGHTLY LONGER ONE NEAR THE BOTTOM WHICH STRETCHES DOWNWARDS A LITTLE) THERE ARE FOUR MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES ON THE TOP EDGE, A SIMILAR AMOUNT OF TINY ONES ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE MINUSCULE THUMB LINE ABOUT 3 INCHES IN FROM THE CENTRE OF THE OPENING EDGE. THESE SMALL LINES HAVE HARDLY ANY VISIBLE IMPACT ON THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE SLEEVE

THERE IS ALSO THE MOST MILD SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO A STRONG LIGHT

THERE CANNOT BE A FLATTER BETTER EXAMPLE ANYWHERE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST PERFECT. PRISTINE UNBLEMISHED LAMINATE AND NO WEAR TO ANY OF THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS ANOTHER AREA ON THE SLEEVE WHICH USUALLY HAS ALL OF THE TYPEFACE RUBBED BADLY, BUT AGAIN THIS COPY IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION FULLY SHARP AND LEGIBLE. THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF RUB AT THE BOTTOM TIP END

THE EXPOSED EDGE ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND HAS NOT SUFFERED BURRING LIKE YOU WILL USUALLY SEE ON MOST EXAMPLES

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SPECTACULAR AS THE FRONT. THE COLOURS ARE PERFECT ALL ACROSS THE SLEEVE AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE,AND ONLY A COUPLE OF MICROSCOPIC PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT, FREE FROM ANY SPLITS, JUST A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION,AND A LITTLE AGEING

WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A TRULY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THE  DISRAELI GEARS SLEEVE 

I GRADE THIS SLEEVE VERY CLOSE TO MINT MINUS
