THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RAINBOW LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE.THERE IS ONE WHITE LINE ON SIDE TWO. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE RAINBOW LOGO WHICH CAN RUB AND WEAR BADLY IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION ON BOTH SIDES. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE BY INDICATING LIMITED PLAY THAT THIS BRILLIANT EXAMPLE HAS RECEIVED IN THE LAST 38 YEARS.

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS!!!  THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM 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 RECORDED THE ENTIRE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THESE DISCS SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE SECOND OF VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS APART FROM TWO ROTAIONAL ONES PRIOR TO THE MUSIC STARTING ON SIDE TWO

THERE IS JUST SOME VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN THREE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH. ONE ON SIDE ONE AND TWO ON SIDE TWO

I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED SINGLE  FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS AND NO RUBBING AT ALL. NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE.

THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND THERE IS NO STAINING OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, AND JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEAR THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURING RUNS FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP, AND THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY WEAR TO THE CORNERS.

THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECT. 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,JUST A COUPLE OF TINY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. IT IS TOTALLY UNMARKED AND FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS AND HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP,WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS, AND SHOWS JUST WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED IN MINT CONDITION, BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.THE WHITE SURFACE IS VERY VULNERABLE AND IS USUALLY FOUND GRUBBY, BUT THIS HAS JUST THE BAREST SPECK OF MILD HANDLING.  THIS COPY IS MAGNIFICENT. NOT EVEN ANY LINES NEAR THE PERIMETER EDGES

THE ORIGINAL WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. STILL PURE WHITE AND UNSPLIT. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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