THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BLUE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 4-5 REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES EVER

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST 3-4 WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES

AN OUTSTANDING RECORD

PLAYING THE RECORD

WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE  INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON

THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST SUPERB CLEAR . CLEAN AND CRISP, WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE DISC HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A HEAVY OR WORN STYLUS

NO  BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN JUST A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND ONLY FOR A SECOND OR TWO

NO DUST POPS JUST A FEW TINY STATIC TICS HEARD 

THIS PLAYBACK GRADES  MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THROUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN ANYTHING LIKE A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. USUALLY THE COLOURS ARE BADLY RUBBED AND THE CREASE LINES AROUND THE SPINE AND PERIMETER EDGES MAKE THE WHOLE THING LOOK SHABBY

THIS SLEEVE  IS  IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH VERY FEW ISSUES

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE , THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN PERFECTLY RETAINED. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE, 

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS. 

THERE IS JUST ONE SINGLE PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE.

TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND TWO ON THE RIGHT SEALED EDGE

NO DENTS OR BENDS  AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SLEEVE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SOME TINY PIN PRICKS AND SMALL FLECKS  OF WHITE SHOWING ALONG THEM RANDOMLY, AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE WIDESPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NOT EVEN ANY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE COLOUR IS ALL RETAINED WITH JUST A FEW TINY PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE LEADING EDGES AND A LITTLE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS OBVIOUS BY LOOKING AT THIS THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE COVER

THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE IS ALMOST IN THE SAME IMMACULATE CONDITION AS THE FRONT. NO SPINE PRESSURE LINES, JUST A LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PAIR OF NEAR PRISTINE BLACK EDGES PANELS. 

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THE INNER HAS A HISTORY OF SEVERE SEAM SPLITTING. THIS ONE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS AT ALL. AND UNUSUALLY THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE EDGES

THE FIRST ISSUE OF THIS INNER HAS ROUNDED CORNERS, A THUMB NOTCH AT THE TOP AND THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. LATER ISSUES HAD SQUARE CORNERS, NO NOTCH OR CAT NUMBER 

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

Your Purchase will be send inside a very protective square cornered professional package

The record will be removed from the sleeve and placed inside a new poly inner sleeve and separated from the cover

The sleeve and record will then have a new outer protective sleeve placed around it
