THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST ONE OR TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE , AND IT CLEAR THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE IN ALMOST 40 YEARS

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAY LIGHT IT DOES LOOK FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A COUPLE OF TINY SUPERFICIAL HANDLING MARKS TO BE SEEN, AND 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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I 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.

THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT , BOTH LOUD AND CRISP, IT PERFORMS WITHOUT A JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE. THIS IS PUNK/GLAM ROCK AT IT'S VERY BEST. THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE 2 COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN A MARC BOLAN TRACK

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,AND NO CLICKS

THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPOTS

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

GLEAMING FULLY LAMINATED MACNEIL SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS, STAINS, HEAVY CREASES, OR DEEP CREASE LINES

THERE ARE 6-7 SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE SMALL DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER

THE SPINE IS STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. FIRSTLY ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE SEMI FINGER TO THUMB SQUASH AT THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE , AND THE DING IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS RESULTED IN A SMALL CREASE TO THE SPINE AT THE VERY BOTTOM TIP.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A TINY THUMB NAIL NICK TO SHOW WHERE THE VINYL WAS REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SUPER AS THE FRONT. AGAIN A GLEAMING LAMINATE, WITH ONE LIGHT LAMINATE LINES RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND JUST TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN UNSPLIT AND BARELY WRINKLED CONDITION WITH JUSTA LITTLE BIT OF BLACK RECORD SHAPE ON THE SURFACE WHICH IS DEFINITELY FROM THE CARD TRIFOLD INSERT

THE INSERT IS A TRIFOLD CARBOARD SET OF THREE PICTURES OF THE BAND. IT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH JUST THE BAREST SLIVER OF COLOUR LOSS ON ONE OF THE FOLDS. OTHER THAN THAT IT IS IN MINT CONDITION

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT MINUS

AN ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING COPY OF THIS 1973 ALBUM

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