THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITEBAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS JUST HAD THE 2 PLAYS

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES ON THE SURFACE, AND EVEN WHEN PUT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUT A FEW 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 TAKEN THE DECISION TO FULLY RECORD EVERY LP THAT I LIST, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT IT IS WHAT BUYERS OF QUALITY VINYL WANT FROM SELLERS. TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON IS IN MY OPINION THE WAY FORWARD FOR EBAY VINYL SALES

PLEASE JUST TAKE A LISTEN TO THE QUALITY OF THIS VINYL AS IT WILL SAY FAR MORE THAN I CAN PUT INTO WORDS. IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE TO THINK THAT AN ALBUM THAT WAS SO POPULAR AS THIS COULD BE FOUND IN A CONDITION THAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS MINT MINUS

PLAYED JUST THE ONCE OR TWICE PERHAPS, BUT I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS ONE THAT IS IN THIS CONDITION BEFORE. THE SOUND QUALITY GENERATED BY THE VINYL IS ELECTRIC, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION JUST MAGINFICENT. IT IS JUST FANTASTIC, THERE IS NO OTHER WORD TO DESCRIBE IT.

FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS PLACED ONTO THE DISC UNTIL THE FINAL FADEOUT, THIS VINYL PERFORMS LIKE A BRAND NEW 1970 DISC. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AT ALL, ANYWHERE. CRISP CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION WITHOUT ANY IRRITANTS

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF VINYL NOISE LIGHT OR STATIC LIKE, NO CLICKS JUST 3 SMALL POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS INCREDIBLE DISC GRADES MINT MINUS, BUT PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

THE ICONIC ZEP II SLEEVE IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION IMAGINABLE

THIS ORIGINAL ISSUE E.J.DAY AND CO LAMINATED SLEEVE ALWAYS SEEMS TO SUFFER FROM SEVERE YELLOWING TO THE WHITE SURFACE , PARTICULARLY AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGE. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY BLEMISH FREE!!  IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CREASE FREE. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THOSE LITTLE LINES THAT FORM NEAR THE SPINE, NOR ARE THERE ANY ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES EITHER.

THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF ANY PEEL OR FLAKE OR LIFT EITHER.

AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM. MUSEUM QUALITY I WOULD GUARANTEE

THE ROTATING WHEEL UNLIKE ON MOST COPIES WORKS SUPERBLY AS IT WAS INTENDED TO WHEN NEW.

 I MENTIONED BEFORE THAT ON MOST SLEEVE YOU WILL SEE SERIOUS PELLOWING THE BEAUTIFUL WHITE SURFACE. THIS SUPERB COPY HAS JUST THE BAREST SHADOW CLOSE TO THE SPINE, A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN MOST COPIES. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE TOP AND BOTTOM ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER

THE SPINE IS IN MINT CONDITION AS WELL. FIRSTLY ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT, NO PEEL OR FLAKE. SECONDLY THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT WITHOUT ANY THUMB TO FINGER SQUASING AT ANY POINT, AN FINALLY ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT'S ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THERE IS NO WEAR EITHER TO THE TOP OR BOTTOM TIPS OF THIS SUPERB SPINE

 THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP,WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST THUMB NAIL NICKS  SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS RECORD HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE COVER.

THE REAR SURFACE WHILST AGAIN IS UNCREASED, IT IS EVERYBIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT, AGAIN A DELIGHTFUL WHITE SURFACE WITH JUST THAT LIGHT SHADOW CLOSE TO THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE.

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED, WITH THE FLIPBACKS AND POLY LINED INTERIOR. IT IS AS WHITE AND CLEAN AS I HAVE EVER SEEN ONE, AND FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THIS VINYL HAS JUST REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR ALL THESE YEARS

THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS

I'LL JUST FINSH BY SAYING THAT IN MY OPINION YOU COULD NEVER GET A BETTER AND MORE PRISTINE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND SLEEVE ON THE PLANET, AND IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT VAULT CONDITION, AND WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING, AND FOR SOME LUCKY WINNER THIS IS AN INVESTMENT AS IT CAN ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE, AND WHATEVER IS PAID FOR IT NOW WILL IN FUTURE SEEM A BARGAIN

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