THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. 

THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. 

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. 

THIS IS A FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. 

IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE 

NO HAIRLINES, NO MARKS JUST A PERFECT MINT DISC

PLAYING THE RECORD

WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE  INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON

THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR 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.

PYE AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES WERE ALL PRESSED ON THE SAME HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL DURING THE LATE 60'S AND EARLY 70'S AND MOST PRESSINGS HAD SOME VINYL NOISE EMBEDDED INTO THE ACTUAL PRESS. 

I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT THIS COPY HAS ONLY THE BAREST TRACE IN  A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES IN THE FORM OF A LITTLE BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS

THERE ARE JUST A FEW  TINY STATIC TICS  THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
