THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. ALL THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO RUBBING OR MARKS. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE JUST ONR REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS JUST BARELY BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARENO MARKS ON THE VINYL, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

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 RECENTLY DECIDED TO RECORD ALL OF THE ALBUMS THAT I LIST FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS LONG BEEN MY BELIEF THAT BUYERS OR BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR IN FULL THE ITEM THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND WHILST THIS TAKES ME FAR LONGER, I BELIEVE IT IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR EBAY SALES

THIS FIRST ISSUE ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS FIRST CLASS, AND THERE IS NO BACKIGROUND CRACJKLING ANYWHERE, NOR IS THERE ANY DISTORTION EITHER. THERE IS THE ODD LITTLE POP HERE AND THERE, AND A FEW SECONDS OF LIGHT VINYL NOISE AS SIDE ONE FADES OUT BUT THAT IS IT. A TRULY SUPERB FIRST PRESS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE 'ROBOR' EMBOSSED COVER

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE EMBOSSED PARTS ARE ALL IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION. THE COVER IS FLAT AND SHOWS NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES, BENDS, FOLDS OR DINGS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, BUT THATS ABOUT IT.

THE DELICATE WHITE SURFACE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME WELL, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE COVER HAS BEEN PROTETCTED FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE, FOR THE WHITENESS HAS BEEN RETAIEND APART FROM THE BAREST TRACES OF SOME HANDLING

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, ANOTHER SIGN THAT THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTETCTED

THE SPINE IS THE ORIGINAL TAPERED END ISSUE, AND A PART FROM ONE SMALL THUMB TO FINGER SQUASH IT REMAINES PERFECTLY PLAT, UNRUBBED WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE CLEAR AND LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS, A SURE SIGN THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

FONALLY THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SMALL LINES BY THE SPINE

THE ORIGINAL SWIRL LOGO INNER SLEEVE IS IN PRISTINE UNSPLIT CONDITION, WITH JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF BROWNING

HAPPY TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT

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

GARRY
