IT IS SAID THAT THERE WERE ONLY 100 COPIES OF THIS ALBUM PRESSED IN PINK VINYL. IT WAS CERTAINLY NEVER AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC RELEASE AND WAS USED ONLY AS PROMOTIONAL ITEM.
IN FACT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NO GOOD AS A GENERAL RELEASE DUE TO THE EMBBEDDED VINYL NOISE, WHICH IS NO WHERE NEAR GOOD ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO BE ALLOWED ONTO THE GENERAL MARKET.
IT IS NOT HOWEVER THE SOUND QUALITY THAT COLLECTORS ARE AFTER, IT IS PURELY FOR THE FACT THAT IT IS ONE OF THE RAREST ALBUMS ON THE PLANET, AND A MAXIMUM OF 100 PEOPLE WORLDWIDE CAN OWN ONE, AND THAT'S ASSUMING THAT ALL OF THE COPIES STILL EXIST WHICH IS DEBATABLE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION , RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY UNRUBBED AND LEGIBLE, AND FINALLY THERE ARE NO MORE THAN TWO SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AGAIN SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WHITE PIN PRICKS SHOWING AROUND THE INNER RIM OF THE SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE A
THE VINYL
THE PINK VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS NO VISIBLE MARKS ON THE SURFACE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS A LITTLE DULLISHNESS NEAR THE INNER RIM ON BOTH SIDES, SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF FINE SCUFFY HANDLING LINES
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 USUALLY AS YOU KNOW RECORD ALL OF THE LP FOR MY CUSTOMERS TO HEAR, BECAUSE I TRY TO DEMONSTRATE THE AUDIO QUALITY OF THE LP THAT I AM LISTING.
THIS ALBUM IN DIFFERENT IN THAT IT IS BY DESIGN A POOR QUALITY TEST PRESS, AND SO I HAVE JUST RECORDED SNIPPETS TO GIVE THE POTENTIAL BIDDER A FLAVOUR OF THE SOUND, BUT AS I SAID AT THE TOP OF THE AUCTION, IT'S NOT THE AUDIO THAT THIS LP ATTRACTS COLLECTORS, IT IS THE TOTALLY LACK OF PRESSINGS THAT MAKES THIS JUST ONE COPY OF ONLY 100 EVER MADE!!!
THERE ARE SOME TICS AND CLICKS AS YOU WILL HEAR IN THE SNIPPETS
THE SLEEVE
FIRSTLY THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, BECAUSE THE OUTER ETCHED PLASTIC COVER IS TOO SMALL FOR THE INNER CARD SLEEVE AND THUS MOST COPIES WILL BE SPLIT ALONG ONE OR MORE OF THE SEAMS
THIS ONE WAS REMOVED FROM THE SET AND KEPT SEPARATELY FROM THE CARD INNER, AND HAS THEREFORE REMAINED IN PERFECT UNSPLIT CONDITION.
THERE ARE NO WRINKLES TO THE SURFACE AND NO HOLES EITHER. THE EDGES ARE ALL SHARP AND NOT BURRED WHATSOEVER, AND FINALLY THE PURPLE PAINTED FRONT SURFACE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO SCRATCHING TO THE SURFACE LIKE SO MANY THAT HAVE BEEN SOLD. I BELIEVE THIS IS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY HOPE TO FIND ONE
THE THIN CARD GATEFOLD SLEEVE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY NO MORE THAN A FOLDED PIECE OF CARD (BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE AN INSERT FOR THE LP) IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE FIVE CREASE LINES RUNNING OUT FROM THE SPINE, WHICH RUN ACROSS THE TOP AND BOTTOM LEFT CORNERS, AND THE OTHER STRETCHES A LITTLE INTO THE MIDDLE. THE MAIN BODY OF THE SURFACE IS UNBLEMISHED. NO COLOUR LOSS THROUGH RUBBING AND NO MARKS OR STAINS.THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY TO THE FRONT. OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECT PINK INNER SURFACE, AGAIN NO MARKS OR STAINS
THE POLY LINED PICTURE INNER IS ONCE AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION. FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT. A COUPLE OF VERY THIN CORNER CREASE LINES AND A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE SEAMS ARE THE ONLY MINOR BLEMISHES TO THIS INNER
SO ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS RARE SLEEVE YOU WILL FIND, AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING IT NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
