THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DEEP RED AND SILVER UNBOXED MONO LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE RED BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO IN PRSTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BEARLY BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 42 YEARS
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE SOME VERY LIGHT HANDLING MARKS THAT CAN BE SEEN WHEN THE DISC IS ANGLED INTO DIRECT SUNLIGHT, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES THAT ARE OTHERWISE INVISIBLE. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN EXCELLENT COPY OFTHIS ALBUM
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 FOUR COMPLETE TRACKS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS , ONE FROM EACH SIDE THAT I HAVE RECORDED
THE INCREDIBLE MONO SOUND COMES THROUGH CRISP AND CLEAR ON ALL TRACKS, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF GROOVEWEAR OR ANY FORM OF DISTORTION AT ALL. IT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED ON HIGH END EQUIPTMENT. THERE IS THE BAREST TRACE OF WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS LIGHT OCCASIONAL POPS ON THE FIRST TRACK ON EACH SIDE, BUT BOTH HAVE BEEN RECORDED AND YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR THEM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
THE REST OF THE LP PLAYS TO PERFECTION WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD PRECISELY HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN HEARD
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. AMAZINGLY THERE IS ONLY ONE SMALL LAMINATE LINE DOWN THE SPINE. THIS IS RARE DUE TO THE FLIMSINESS OF THE SLEEVE WHICH USUALLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE CREASING AND LARGE LAMINATE LINES
THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW. AND THE FRONT SURFACE STILL HAS A MIRROR FINISH. THERE ARE TWO REALLY TINY SPECKS OF LAMINATE LIFT AT THE TOP END OF THE SPINE, THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL LINES EITHER ON THIS GLEAMING SURFACE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE SPINE SIMILARLY WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE,AND NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER, IT IS CLEAR JUST BY LOOKING AT THIS EDGE THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE IN 42 YEARS
THE REAR SURFACE WHICH IS ALSO LAMINATED IS ALSO IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. GLEAMING LAMINATE AND NO CREASEING OR CREASE LINES. THERE IS NO RING WEAR AT ALL ON EITHER FRONT OR REAR SURFACES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NON LAMINATED PANELS WHICH ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION, ITS CLEAR THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER, AND HARDLY EVER OPENED.
THE ORIGINAL RED AND WHITE 'MONO' INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
THIS REALLY IS AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY OF THIS CLASSIC BLUES ALBUM, AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
