THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. 

THE BASE COLOURRICH AND VIBRANTAND NOT SOILED AT ALL. 

THE BLUE TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.  

THERE ARE 2-3 SPIDER LINES BY EACH HOLE


THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE ONE TINY NON SOUNDING DULL SPOT BUT THATS ALL


THE TEST PLAY


THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTOTION ANYWHERE, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS ALL THE WAY. JUST CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL

THE DELICATE SOUNDS ARE JUST PERFECT. CLEAR AS A BELL

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

I HEARD  A TINY BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW SILENT PASSAGES BUT THATS ALL

NO TICS OR POPS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

 

 


THE SLEEVE

 

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM THE E.J.DAY GROUP WHICH IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.

SO MANY OF THESE ORIGINAL HAVE RUBBING TO THE DELICATE COLOURS THAT TO FIND ONE IN THIS CONDITION IS QUITE HARD

WHEN THIS ALBUM FIRST CAME OUT THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE HAD THE BLUE HORIZON LOGO ON THE BACK IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS DECIDED TO CHANGE TO THE PARENT COMPANY POLYDOR. THE SLEEVES WERE PRINTED BEFORE THE BLUE HORIZON LABELLED ALBUMS RAN OUT, SO IT IS QUITE USUAL TO FIND A BLUE HORIZON LP IN A POLYDOR SLEEVE, AS THIS ONE IS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO CREASES OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS UNRUBBED OR SHELFWORN, FULL COLOUR AND UNBLEMISHED ENDS

 THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A PIN PRICK OR RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END

THE SPINE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. NO SQUASHING AND NO RUBBING. ALL THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL NICKS IT IS CLEAR THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE COVER.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED. AGAIN NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. AND NO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE


THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT GRADES NEAR MINT

 

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