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 AND A FEW NATURAL EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS MOSTLY VISIBLE ON THE RUN OUT

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 NO STATIC EITHER

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

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

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWNS STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB

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 ABSOLUTELY NO LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE . THERE IS A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END AND A LIGHT CREASE LINE ACROSS THE CORNER

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 THREE WHITE PINPRICKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE SOME LIGHT WEAR TO THE  RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED.. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR ARE THERE, AND ONLY THE VERY BOTTOM TIP END SHOWS 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 NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE, OR ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES THAT LITTLE DING AND LIGHT CREASE LINE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

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 11-72 (NOV 1972) WHICH IS PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE ALBUM IN DECEMBER 1972

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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