THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, BOTH COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED WITH THE WHITE SECTION REMAINING 'WHITE' AND THE PURPLE UNMARKED

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CAN JUST MAKE ONE ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVENUNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY WSIPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL SURFACE HAIRLINES VISIBLE. A STUNNING DISC IN EVERY WAY

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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

THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO BACKGROUND STATIC, EVEN BETWEEN THE TRACKS

I HONESTLY DON'T THINK I HEARD ANY DUST POPS EITHER

A VERY CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUNDING 1ST PRESS OF THIS OUTSTANDING ALBUM

THE PERFORMANCE I AM SURE YOU WILL AGREE ONCE YOU HAVE HEARD THE RECORDINGS IS MAGNIFICENT, AND SO IT SHOULD BE ON THIS VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED VINYL

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT!!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FLIMSY NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS

THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF RUBBING, AND PARTICULARLY NO RING WEAR.

THERE IS THE BAREST IMPRESSION OF RECORD SHAPE ONLY IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT. THIS IS ENTIRELY BECAUSE THE LP HAS JUST SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 46 YEARS WITHOUT BEING REMOVED

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER. FULLY COLOURED AND BOTH CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECT.

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS EVERY BIT AS PERFECT AS THE TOP. LOVELY BROWN COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY RUBBING

THE SPINE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IT IS A VERY THIN SPINE, BUT EVEN SO IT'S UNSQUASHED. JTHE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE 

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH JUST A FEW  TINY SPECKS OF RUB

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE, AGAIN WITH JUST THAT VERY LIGHT RECORD SHAPE IMPRESSION 

THE ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UN-SPLIT CONDITION, AND STILL VERY WHITE AND CREASE FREE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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