THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.
THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL.
THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE..
THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE AT ALL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS VINYL HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED FOR 41 YEARS
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
THIS IS A FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND ONE VERY FINE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON THE FIRST TWO TRACKS OF SIDE TWO
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.
THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS
INCREDIBLY NONE OF THE USUAL PYE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, JUST THE VERY ODD SLIT SECOND OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE MOST TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FIRST ISSUE SHOREWOOD GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, WITH NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE COLOURS WHATSOEVER, AND A PERFECTLY JET BLACK BORDER THAT HAS NO WHITE SPECKS OF FLECKS VISIBLE ANYWHERE.
NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
INCREDIBLY THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND SO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE, WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE JET BLACK SURFACE PERFECTLY INTACT, JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END ONLY
THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECT. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED.
THE COLOURS RUN NICELY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND THE FINE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE, ON THE BOTTOM TIP END ONLY.
THE OPENING EDGES ARE 100% MINT AND RAZOR SHARP. NO THUMB NAIL NICKS AND MORE EVIDENCE THAT THE VINYL HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 99% OF IT'S LIFE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT THE FRONT, AGAIN NO LINES AROUND ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES, AND NO COLOUR LOSS THROUGH RUBBING
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE EITHER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS.
THE TWO BOOKLETS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. FLAT AND UNCREASED.
THE LARGE POSTER IS IN THE SAME MINT CONDITION HAVING NEVER BEEN FULLY OPENED
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNERS SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT CONDITION.
THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING SLEEVE AND FULLY JUSTIFIES A MINT MINUS GRADE
