THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE GREEN UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I BELIEVE WHY THE SLEEVE HAS RETAINED ITS CONDITION, THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF IT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES IN 50 YEARS

 

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN GLEAMING ORIGINAL CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER A SPOTLIGHT THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLING

PLYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL 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 VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

THIS LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS OF STATIC

I HEARD ABOUT HALF A DOZEN TINY DUST POPS/TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH 

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS  RECORD NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO. IT'S JUST AN INCREDIBLE COPY

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

 


THE SLEEVE

 

YOU KNOW HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS TO FIND ANY EARLY ORIGINAL STONES SLEEVE IN COLLECTABLE CONDITION, BUT THIS COPY IS IN VIRTUAL PERFECT CONDITION.

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED JUST HOW THIN THESE EARLY STONES ALBUM SLEEVES ARE. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE QUALITY SLEEVES THAT THE BEATLES ALBUMS CAME IN IT, MAKE YOU WONDER WHY THEY DECIDED TO PUT WHAT WOULD BE VERY POPULAR RECORDS IN SLEEVES THAT COULDN'T HANDLE THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF THE VINYL. HOWEVER THIS SLEEVE WAS MANUFACTURED TO HIGHER STANDARDS WITH THE ONLY WEAK POINT BEING THE FLIMSY FRONT COVER WHICH IS A THIN PIECE OF CARD LAMINATED, AND IT'S THIS SURFACE THAT IS USUALLY IN VERY POOR CONDITION

SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IT HAS NOT LOST ONE IOTA OF IT'S ORIGINAL DAY OF RELEASE SHEEN, AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID BACK IN 1969

THERE IS NOT ONE HEAVY CREASE ANYWHERE, AND ONLY TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, OR THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

FINALLY NOT ONE IOTA OF RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE,  JUST A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE SPINE

TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST BARE CARD AND VERY VERY HARD TO KEEP PRISTINE. THIS COPY JUST HAS LIGHT WEAR TO THESE DELICATE EDGES

THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND EVEN THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP FREE FROM ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS OR BURRING

THE REAR SURFACE IS AMAZING

THE SURFACE ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, WITH NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN NEAR THE SPINE OR OTHER PERIMETER EDGES.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECT INNER SET. THE TWO OUTER PANELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION, SHOWING NO WEAR OR RUBBING TO THE DARK COLOUR

THE ATTACHED BOOKLET IS ALSO FLAT AND UNCREASED. CORRECTLY STAPLED IN FOR THE FIRST PRESS ISSUE. NO CREASES OR WRINKLES ON THE PAGES

THE ORIGINAL BLUE TEXT AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, TOTALLY FLAT WITH BARELY A WRINKLE . THIS MUSEUM QUALITY PIECE OF STONES HISTORY CAN HAVE NO OTHER GRADE THAN MINT MINUS!!!

IT REALLY IS THAT SPECIAL

 

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