- A STUNNING COPY OF THIS 1974 ALBUM FROM JOHN
THIS LP HAS COME FROM AN INCREDIBLE RECORD COLLECTION, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FROM THE VERY DAY OF PURCHASE BY PLACING THEM INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES. THEREFORE VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE RECORDS THAT I WILL BE LISTING FROM THIS COLLECTION WILL HAVE MINT, MINT MINUS OR AT THE WORST NEAR MINT SLEEVES!
THE INNER SLEEVES HAVE ALL BEEN KEPT FLAT AND UNWRINKLED AND FURTHER ENHANCE THE COLLECTION.
THE VINYLS ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE, WITH A FEW HAVING NEVER BEEN PLAYED, AND AGAIN THE GRADING’S VARY BETWEEN MINT AND NEAR MINT...NOTHING LOWER.
THE RECORDS WERE PLACED INTO THOSE RECORD BOXES WITH HANDLES ON THEM, 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 THIS COLLECTION, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK DAILY FOR THE LATEST FROM THIS AMAZING SELECTION OF 197O'S ROCK ALBUMS
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. BOTH SIDES ARE IMMACULATE WITH THE WHITE SIDE IN PARTICULAR SHOWING NO FINGERMARKS. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE AND EVEN SOME RESIDUAL VINYL ON SIDE ONE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME LIGHT DULL SPECKLES ON 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 DO NOW WITH ALL THE LP'S THAT I LIST. THIS IS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY , AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW IT DOES SOUND.
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL LITTLE BIT OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, AND THE OCCASIONAL BIT OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN A FEW LINKING GROOVES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY TICS OR POPS WHATSOEVER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT ++++
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB MINT SINGLE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE WITH TWO FRONT FLAPS
USUALLY FOUND IN POOR CONDITION, THIS SLEEVE IS HARD TO COLLECT IN TOP CONDITION DUE TO THE FRONT FLAPS OFTEN TEARING OR LOOKING VERY SHABBY AND WEAKLY ATTACHED TO THE SPINE
HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE EXAMPLE THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN
THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THE TWO EXPOSED THIN FRONT FLAPS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH ARE PROPERLY AFFIXED TO THE SPINE
OPENING THE FLAPS EXPOSES THE WHOLE OF THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR OR RUBBING AT ANY POINT. THERE ARE NO LINES NEAR ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES EITHER.
THE OPENING EDGE ITSELF IS ALSO IMMACULATE AND RAZOR SHARP, AND THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THIS EDGE, FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE VINYL HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE VERY OFTEN
THE SPINES ARE WAFER THIN ON BOTH SIDES AND AS SUCH CANT BE SQUASHED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE ON THE FLAP SIDE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING EVEN TO THE TIPS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB STATE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND AGAIN NO SMALL LINES NEAR THE PERIMETER EDGES. THERE IS A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN A HINT OF RECORD SHAPE
THE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. HAVING THE ROUNDED CORNERS AND THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ALONG THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS
THE 8 PAGE FULL SIZED BOOKLET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NOT ONE CREASE LINE ANYWHERE ON ANY SURFACE
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
