THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GLOSSY ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE GLOSSY LABELS ARE EVIDENCE OF A FIRST PRESS, AS LATER PRESSES WERE RELEASED ON LIGHTER VINYL WITH MATT LABELS

THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A VERY FINE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO VIRTUALLY THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE. THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS

BARELY THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR AN MORE THAN THREE TINY DUST POPS AT ALL THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE  FROM HOWARDS PRINTERS OF SLOUGH

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR MARKS ANYWHERE, AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND ONLY FOUR SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TO EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

IT IS CLEAR THAT THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE TOP EDGE IS UNBLEMISHED WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH EVEN THE TIPS UNRUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SMALL PATCH OF SHELF RUB IN THE MIDDLE

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE GREEN BASE COLOUR IS ALL THERE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A COUPLE OF WHITE SPECKS SHOWING ON THE LEADING EDGES, AND A TINY TRACE OF WHITE AT EACH TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THE RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.THERE IS NO TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE AT ALL ANYWHERE.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS. AGAIN UNUSUALLY FREE FROM ANY RUBBING OR COLOUR LOSS TO THE GREY AREAS

THE STORY BOOK INSERT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, JUST A COUPLE OF THUMB THROUGH'S

THE DIE CUT PLAIN INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT. HAS THE DATE 19TH JUL 1972 STAMPED INTO ONE CORNER. LIGHT RECORD IMPRESSION

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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