THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE AND MAUVE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE WHITENESS OF THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST PERFECT. NO MARKS OR STAINS, OR SIGNS OF HANDLING, JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ON A RECORD THAT HASN'T HAD MORE THAN A COUPLE OF PLAYS. THE MAUVE LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING PRISTINE VINYL. HAS A MIRROR LIKE FINISH TO IT, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE DISC, AND EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM 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 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 A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION

THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL, MEANING THAT WHAT PLAY THIS HAS HAD, WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND JUST AN ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS !!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE!!

THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. I STRESS  THIS IS REALLY RARE ON THIS SLEEVE. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS!!

THERE ARE JUST THREE MICROSCOPIC LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE OR ELSEWHERE.

THE TOP EDGE HAS NO SHELF WEAR AT ALL, WITH ALL OF DELICATE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

THE BOTTOM EDGE  HAS SOME VERY LIGHT RUBBING WITH A FEW SLIVERS OF WHITE SHOWING PLUS SOME LIGHT WEAR TO THE  CORNERS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED.THERE IS SOME LIGHT DIMPLING TO THE TOP THIRD. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR IS THERE, AND ONLY THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS SHOW A SPECK OF WHITE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS, WHICH IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FROM NEW

THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION TUCKED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT. A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE LINES NEAR THE SPINE,AND A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT YOU CAN JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT A SLIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ONLY.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A TRULY PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE UNSPLIT, UNCREASED, AND PERFECTLY FLAT. IT HAS JUST A SPECK OF GLUE AGEING TO THE TOP EDGE, AND A SCUFF TO ONE OF THE BLUE SQUARES AT THE BOTTOM. IT HAS THE CORRECT DATE PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER 8-72 (AUGUST 1972) WHICH IS PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE ALBUM IN DECEMBER 1972

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!!

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