THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS JUST A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES PROVING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED

THE VINYL

GLEAMING FIST PRESS DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A JUST ONE OR TWO WISPY HAIRLINES AND SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES, PLUS ONE SMALL NON SOUNDING SURFACE HANDLING LINE ON SIDE TWO

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 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

THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP IS THE INCREDIBLE LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION. CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION THROUGH GROOVE WEAR, AND THE ONE PLAY THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED CLEARLY WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER

THE VINYL PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION WITH JUST THE ODD BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE DUST POPS TO BE HEARD WHATSOEVER THROUGH THIS PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH

PLEASE JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AFTER HAVING A THOROUGH LISTEN TO IT!!!!

THE SLEEVE

 UK SLEEVE FROM HOWARDS PRINTERS

THE WEAR POINTS ON THIS SLEEVE WHICH USUALLY MAKES A SHABBY EXAMPLE ARE THE FLIMSY EDGES TO THE FLAPS AND THE TOP OPENING EDGE WHICH RUBS BADLY. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE ONE THAT IS NEAR PERFECT

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS NON LAMINATED  SLEEVE IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. FIRSTLY THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES WHATSOEVER ON THIS SURFACE EITHER, IN FACT THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES WHATSOEVER AROUND THE EDGES

THE CORNER TIPS HAVE THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUB TO TWO OF THEM

THIS  IS A TOP OPENING SLEEVE WITH A FRONT AND BACK SURFACE HINGED TO THE TOP EDGE, MAKING IT LOOK MORE LIKE A CALENDAR THAN A RECORD ALBUM. THE TOP EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND FREE OF ANY RUBBING. THE TYPEFACE ON THE SPINE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE AREA THAT THE LP SLIDES INTO IS ALSO ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME SUPER CONDITION. AND HAS ALL OF THE UK PRINTING INFO IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER.OPENING THE FRONT FLAP REVEALS THE STADIUM SHOTS AND AGAIN WE HAVE A PRISTINE UNBLEMISHED PAIR OF SURFACES.

THE REAR FLAP WHEN OPENED REVEALS THE GOALMOUTH SCENE AND YET AGAIN IT IS ALL IN TOP CONDITION. A TINY BIT OF NATURAL AGEING TO THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FIRST OF ALL THE CORRECT INNER FOR THIS ALBUM, HAVING THE  DATE PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER 0872 (AUG 1972). IT IS UNSPLIT , BUT DOES HAVE A SIGINIFICANT AMOUNT OF GLUE AGEING

A MAGNIFICENT  EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND FULLY JUSTIFIES A NEAR MINT GRADE

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