THIS LP HAS COME FROM MY PERSONAL RECORD COLLECTION, I HAVE PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FROM THE VERY DAY OF PURCHASE BY PLACING THEM INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES. THEREFORE MINT CONDITION PREVAILS.

THE VINYLS ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE, HAVING BEING PLAYED TWICE IN 48 YEARS !!!!, FIRSTLY,ON DAY OF PURCHASE IN November 1970 TO TAPE, AND YESTERDAY FOR  MY TEST PRESS SO OBVIOUSLY THE GRADING IS MINT 

MY RECORDS WERE THEN STORED SAFELY ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN KEPT AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT OR SUNLIGHT AND COLD.

FINALLY THERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER TITLES IN MY COLLECTION, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK DAILY FOR THE LATEST FROM THIS AMAZING SELECTION OF RARE MINT ROCK ALBUMS

4. THE GIANT POSTER MUST BE PRINTED ON MATT PAPER AND HAVE ' PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN STCH 639' IN PINK TYPEFACE
5. THE SPINES AND BASE OF THE BOX MUST BOTH HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME HEAVILY TEXTURED FINISH WITH THE SAME PATTERN (LATER ONES HAD A DIFFERENT FEEL AND PATTERN TO THE SPINES)

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE 6 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE UNWORN. . THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLES 

THE THREE VINYLS 

EXAMINING EACH DISC IN TURN THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THEY GLEAM LIKE BRAND NEW VINYLS. RAINBOW LIKE MIRROR FINISH SHINE,  EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN ONE OR TWO TINY WISPY SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS TO BE SEEN ON A COUPLE OF SIDES

AUDIO PLAYBACK 

ALL THREE ALBUMS PLAY TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE GRADE. THEY ARE  FLAWLESS

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE ONE CAREFUL PLAY THIS SET HAS RECEIVED (2 NOW WITH MY TEST PLAY) WAS COMPLETED ON MY REGA SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

ALL THREE DISCS PLAY WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. NOT ONE JOT ANYWHERE

NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL AT ANY POINT DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

A 48 YEAR OLD SET THAT HAS AT MOST A REW RANDOM SECONDS OF THE LIGHTEST AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING SEGMENTS, AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES, CERTAINLY NO MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF VINYL NOISE THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB. 

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I CANNOT GIVE ANY OTHER GRADE THAN MINT !!!. MINT MINUS AT THE WORST 

THESE VINYLS HAVE NOT BEEN PRO CLEANED,AND I DOUBT THEY NEED TO BE, BUT WOULD ONLY ENHANCE THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE FURTHUR, IF THIS IS POSSIBLE ? 

THE SLEEVE

WELL A BOX, NOT A SLEEVE. HOW HARD IS THIS TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION? NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. FIRSTLY YOU HAVE MOST OF THESE BOXES WITH TORN CORNERS AND SECONDLY THE POROUS SURFACE IS USUALLY VERY BADLY SOILED.

THIS BOX STRUCTURE IS MINT, SOLID AND, ALL,AS DAY OF RELEASE !!!

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THIS USUALLY COMES MOTTLED , GRUBBY, STAINED, HAS STICKER REMOVAL MARKS ON IT, AND GENERALLY LOOKS SHABBY. HERE WE HAVE A NICE EXAMPLE.

THE GREY SURFACE IS IN SUPREME CONDITION, NOT ONE BLEMISH.

IT'S  PERFECT WITH THE VARIOUS SHADES OF GREY AND BLACK RICH AND VIBRANT. NO NICKS TO THE BORDERS OF THE PASTE ON  PAPER IMAGE BUT THE PICTURE HAS FEINT RUB BLEMISH AT TOP BEING ULTRA CRITICAL (SEE PICTURES)

ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE,MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY ARE NOT SPLIT. THERE IS NOT ONE SCUFF TO ANY OF THEM THEY ARE ALL JET BLACK

THE SPINES AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO UNMARKED.THE EDGES ARE FINISHED IN A JET BLACK MATT BUT TEXTURED FINISH WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND SHELFWORN, BUT HERE THE BLACK IS STILL PERFECTLY BLACK AND UNRUBBED. THE LEFT SPINE WITH THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, WITH THE GOLD LEAF  JUST IMMACULATE AND EVERY LETTER UNRUBBED.

THE BASE OF THE BOX IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, AND THIS IS USUALLY SCRATCHED AND RUBBED, BUT NOT ON THIS SET. IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT IN THE BEST CONDITION I HAVE EVER SEEN ONE OF THESE

AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS BOX HAS BEEN PROTECTED ALMOST FROM NEW IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE, TO BE IN THIS INCREDIBLE CONDITION

OPENING THE BOX AND LOOKING INSIDE AT THE PANELS UNDER THE LID, AGAIN THE STORY IS THE SAME. THE ORANGE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE HAS BEEN NO BLEMISH TO ANY PART OF IT, . ALL THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECT. THE WEBBING THAT MAKES THE SPINE HINGE IS PERFECT, AND ALL OF THE INTERNAL CORNERS ARE PRISTINE

INSIDE THE BOX, THE THREE ALBUMS ORIGINALLY CAME HOUSED INSIDE THREE VERY VULNERABLE ROUGH TEXTURED INNER SLEEVES THAT IN MOST CASES HAVE SPLIT ALONG ALL THE SEAMS.

 ON THIS COPY HOWEVER, TWO OF THE INNERS ARE IN TOTALLY UNSPLIT CONDITION  BUT ONE HAS A 1" SPLIT AT THE BOTTOM ONLY,AND ARE TOTALLY UNCREASED, THESE INNERS ARE JUST LOVELY !. 100% FLAT AND UNCREASED AND ONLY A FEINT SHOW OF RECORD SHAPE.  THE VINYLS WERE REMOVED AND STORED SEPARATELY FROM THE DAY OF PURCHASE, SO I AM ASSUMING THE ONE SPLIT OCCURED DURING THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING PROCESS ?

THE HUGE POSTER WHICH IS OFTEN MISSING FROM THIS SET IS IN MINT CONDITION. EVERY FOLD LINE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS OBVIOUS WHEN LOOKING AT IT, THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLACED ON ANY WALL, AND NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE BOX EITHER. I HAVE CAREFULLY CHECKED IT, AND IT IS THE FIRST ISSUE MADE IN GT BRITAIN AND NOT THE AMERICAN POSTER

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS BOX NEAR MINT 

THE CONTENTS EXCLUDING THE VINYLS ARE MINT!!!

MUSEUM GRADE VINYLS AND A SUPERB BOX AND CONTENTS !!!!!

IN CONCLUSION THIS IS THE BEST COPY OF THIS ICONIC VINYL IVE EVER SEEN IN OVER 40 YEARS OF COLLECTING VINYL RECORDS !!!!

PLEASE SEE ALL PICTURES and USE ZOOM FUNCTION TO FULLY ADMIRE THIS BEAUTIFUL 48 YEAR OLD ICONIC ROCK VINYL

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER RARE MINT ROCK AND OTHER VINYLS LISTED

 GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR LOOKING.
