THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE  MAUVE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE RICHNESS 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 BEEN PLAYED. THE  LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. ZERO!!! 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 .

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,.

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 AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

 

 

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  THE BEST I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS!!

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! 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  IS ALMOST AS PRISTINE WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR IS THERE, EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. THE BLACK 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 GAIN ZERO!! LINES NEAR THE SPINE,. NO COLOUR RUB OR LOSS.

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 THE CORRECT DATE PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER 5-75 (MAY 1975)

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

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

GARRY
