THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF 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 DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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 VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE

THIS DISC PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH. WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY DURING SOME THE QUIETEST SPOTS LIKE A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES. I HEARD NO M ORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT MINUS

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL HEAVY CARDED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.

THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE.JUST A FEW LIGHT SCRATCH LINES WHICH CAN ONLY BE SEEN WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO A STRONG LIGHT

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. FOUR TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE LIGHT RUBBING

THE SPINE IS JUST AMAZING. A WIDESPINE IN MAGNIFICENT UNSQUASHED CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WHITE PIN PRICKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS

THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OR COLOUR LOSS OR CREASES. A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ANYWHERE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PRISTINE INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL PICTURE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION. NO RUBBING OR RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, JUST SOME LIGHT BROWN FOXING SPOTS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER EXCELLENT PLUS!!!!
