HERE BELOW FOR YOU IS A RUNDOWN OF THE COMPLETE CONDITION OF THIS ULTRA SCARCE VINYL & COVER.

THE COVER...

LAMINATED "CLARIFOIL" FLIPBACK COVER. HAS A VERY LOVELY GLOSS THROUGHOUT. THE FRONT & BACK COVER HAVE NO RIPS OR TEARING, DAMP, WRINGWEAR, GRUBBYNESS OR HANDWRITTEN NAMES IN BIRO OR INK. NO LOOSING OF THE GLUE, TABS ON ALL OF THE FLIPBACKS ARE FULLY INTACT. THE SPINE AT THE SIDE IS CLEAR OF ANY DAMAGE FULLY INTACT & PERFECTLY READABLE.

PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY - "WEST BROTHERS PRINTERS LIMITED". A GREAT EXAMPLE, THE ONLY ISSUE IS THE VERY SMALL BLEMISH ON THE FRONT (BETWEEN THE TITLE ABOVE THE LETTER U) ON QUARTET. YOU CAN SEE THIS CLEARLY IN THESE LARGE PHOTOGRAPHS BELOW. A SMALL PART OF CREASE HERE AND THERE TO THE CLARIFOIL LAMINATE... BUT NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT. OR TO DOWNGRADE THE JACKET. THERES A VERY SLIGHT TINY MARK ON THE BACK, AND ABSOLUTE MINIMAL GLUE DIS-COLOURATION ON THE FLIPBACK. OVERALL THE COVER IS IN STUNNING CONDITION FOR ITS AGE. THESE ISSUES I'VE LISTED ARE MINIMAL & BEING FOR MY PART, VERY CRITICAL INDEED. THE COVER IN ITS OWN RIGHT IS A RARE ITEM. 

THE INNER DUST COVER....

THE THICK PAPER INNER IS FULLY INTACT & FREE FROM ANY RIPPING OR TEARING. THERE ARE NO HANDWRITTEN NAMES ON HERE & NO SIGNS OF DAMP OR DIRT. VERY, VERY CLEAN, BRIGHT & FRESH, THE PRINTED DIRECTIONS FOR TAKING CARE OF THE RECORD ARE FULLY READABLE & HAVE BEEN PRESERVED ASWELL AS THE FIRST DAY THEY WERE FIRST PRINTED. THE EXTRA POLYTHENE PROTECTOR IS STILL INTACT & ATTACHED TO THE INNER, NO LOOSINING OF THIS EITHER. INDICATING THE RECORD BEING PLACED BACK INSIDE WITH CARE WHEN PLAYED.

ITS ALSO VERY NICE TO SEE THE CARE TAKEN IN THE DAY, BY THE COMPANY OF MANUFACTURE, TO ACTUALLY INFORM YOU OF.."WHAT TYPE OF STYLUS TO USE", "HOW MANY PLAYS TO USE THE STYLUS FOR BEFORE CHANGING FOR A NEW ONE" ETC "NOT TO DROP THE PICK UP ON THE RECORD" & "TO CLEAN THE VINYL AFTER EVERY PLAY BEFORE PLACING CAREFULLY BACK INSIDE THE INNER" AND "TO STORE YOUR RECORD AWAY FROM HEAT"

THE LABELS....

BOTH SIDES A & B HAVE NO SIGNS OF ANY HANDWRITING IN INK OR BIRO, NO RIPS OR TEARING. VERY MINIMAL SPINDLE WEAR ON BOTH SIDES (2) ON ONE AND (1) ON THE OTHER, ONLY VISABLE UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AT AN ANGLE. THE PRINT & TEXT ARE INTACT NO SIGNS OF WEAR. HAVE A LOOK FOR YOURESLF. VERY NICE! PERFECT CONDITION IN MY OPINION. SHARP PURPLE & WHITE SPLIT PRINTS.

THE RECORD ITSELF HAS NO CHIPS OR DENTS, BUMPS, BREAKS OR SNAPS ETC. IT SITS PERFECTLY FLAT ON A TURNTABLE WHEN PLAYING. I GAVE THIS A RUN OVER WITH A SOFT YELLOW DUSTER & THERES STILL SOME STATIC TO THE RECORD. WOW! 

TEST PLAY FOR THE VINYL... 

ITS THE BEST YOU COULD POSSIBLY WISH FOR. I GIVE THIS 100% MINT PLAY THROUGHOUT. THESE RECORDS ON "TEMPO" ARE MADE OF TOUGH HEAVY PLASTIC & WERE MANUFACTURED AS QUALITY ITEMS AT THE TIME OF MAKING. THIS COPY HAS DEFINATELY STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. THERE ARE NO JUMPBACKS, NO NEEDLE THRASHING, NO WARPING OF THE RECORD. NO CRACKLE, NO SKIPS, NO POPS, OR BACKGROUND DISTORTION. NO HEAVY SCRATCHES OR BUMPS, DUNTS ON THE RECORD. NO FLIMSY VINYL HERE. THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

I HAD HOPES TO GET A PLAYER SET UP, SO YOU COULD HAVE, HAD A SAMPLE OF THIS RECORD, TO LISTEN ALONG TO AND OTHERS I HAVE ON OFFER. BUT, I'VE NOT HAD THE TIME TO DO SO YET. PITY...AS ITS SOLID PLAY. ANYWAY...

I'VE TEST PLAYED THE L.P. THROUGHOUT ON BOTH THE A & B SIDES, NOTHING TO REPORT AT ALL AS A NEGATIVE. AND I MEAN THAT. I GRADE MY RECORDS UPON TEST PLAY OF THE AUDIO, IT GETS A PERCENTAGE RATING OF 100% CAN'T BETTER THIS IN 2012. THE RECORD IS (52) YEARS IN AGE. VERY IMPRESSIVE GLOSS & LOOK FOR ITS AGE INDEED. I'M CONFIDENT WITH THIS GRADE & VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS AMAZING RARITY TO A NEW HOME.

ANY TYPE OF THESE RECORDS ON THE "TEMPO" LABEL ARE ULTRA RARE. AND VERY,VERY DIFFICULT TO COME BY. ANY RELEASE ON THIS LABEL IS HIGHLY PRIZED IN ANY CONDITION. KNOWN AS "HOLY GRAIL JAZZ"  YOU NEVER SEE THESE OFFERED & AS A BONUS THIS PARTICULAR COPY HAPPENS TO BE LIKE NEW!! FOR A RECORD THATS OVER 50 YR'S OLD. 

PLEASE SEE THE CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPHS PROVIDED BELOW THIS DESCRIPTION...

I WILL INSURE THIS ITEM (PERHAPS IF THE BUYER WANTS TO ARRANGE AN ALTERNATIVE) AS IN A PRIVATE COURIER I WILL BE HAPPY TO OBLIGE (OTHER THAN BRITISH MAIL, P.O. SERVICE RECORDED AND SIGNED FOR DELIVERY, INTERNATIONAL OR DOMESTIC).

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL NOT POST THIS RECORD UNLESS INSURED AND SIGNED FOR. AND BEST ADVISED FOR A COURIER TO ENSURE NO DAMAGE IN TRANSIT.

PLEASE NOTE: AS THIS IS A TRUE RARITY AND ULTRA SCARCE...

I WILL ALSO NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE ANY RETURN ON THIS ITEM, AS I FEEL I HAVE GIVEN A VERY COMPLETE VALID RUNDOWN OF CONDITION WHICH IS IMPORTANT & FAIR TO BOTH PARTIES. I'VE TAKEN GREAT TIME AND CARE IN DOING SO. ALSO PURELY DOWN TO THE FACT... THAT I WOULDN'T LIKE THE THOUGHT OF THIS RECORD HAVING TO MAKE MORE THAN ONE TRIP OUT OF MY HANDS!! ITS SO RARE! AND INCREASES THE CHANCES (PERISH THE THOUGHT) OF IT BECOMING DAMAGED BY P.O. SERVICES. OR HEAVY HANDLING. THE COVER & ITS CONTENTS ARE NOW STORED IN A POLYTHENE COVER IN A SMOKE FREE ZONE.

I PACK ALL RECORDS IN A HARD CARD MAILER, BETWEEN 2 CARD STIFFENERS AND RECORD OUTSIDE THE COVER INSIDE A POLYTHENE PROTECTOR. I WILL PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL DUST COVER ALSO FOR TRANSIT, AS TO AVOID ANY SPLITS IN THE ORIGINAL. MAILER IS ALSO SEALED AT THE TOP WITH FRAGILE MARKED MASKING TAPE. I CAN IF THE BUYER WISHES, IN THIS CASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANY OTHER PARTICULAR TYPE OF PREFERED MAILER/METHOD OF POSTING? I'AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO OBLIGE, PLEASE JUST ASK. IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY TAKE ME A LITTLE LONGER THAN 3 DAYS DISPATCH TIME STATED IN MY DELIVERY, AS I WOULD NEED TO AWAIT DELIVERY OF SAID MAILER ESPECIALY. SO A ROUGH DISPATCH TIME OF (10) DAYS IF YOUR HAPPY ENOUGH TO WAIT, IF THIS IS THE WAY YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE THE ITEM PACKAGED AND POSTED.

I HOPE THIS IS A DESCRIPTION THAT WILL BE HELPFULL? IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECORD? THEN PLEASE CONTACT ME, AND IF I CAN? I WILL ANWSER THEM.

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptable

Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
