THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP RED COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 5-6 REALLY SMALL AND BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED IN THE PAST 43 YEARS

THE VINYL

A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.

IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFUL OF WISPY HAIRLINES, A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE HANDLING LINES HERE AND THERE, AND ONE SLIGHTLY LONGER BUT TOTALLY NON SOUNDING LINE ON SIDE 2

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 AS I KNOW 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 RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS.

THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING AND NO CLICKS AT ALL, JUST SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE STUFF IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS , HEARD ONLY IN THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES LIKE A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROVES, AND SOME ODD LITTLE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE,

.I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LONG LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FIRSTLY THIS IS THE FIRST PRESS SLEEVE FROM SENOL. THERE ARE IN FACT THREE VARIANTS OF THIS SLEEVE THAT WERE ALL ISSUED FROM 1969 -7O, BUT THE SENOL ONE WAS ONLY EVER ISSUED IN 1969, THE MORE COMMON SLEEVE IS THE JAMES UPTON SLEEVE, AND LESS SO BUT STILL FROM THE SAME YEAR A SLEEVE THAT HAS NO MAKERS NAME, JUST 'PRINTED IN ENGLAND'

THIS LIKE THE OTHERS HAS THE LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND THE NON LAMINATED REAR. ALSO ONLY FIRST PRESS SLEEVES HAD THE PORTHOLE ON THE REAR SURFACE SHOWING THE INNER SLEEVE'S COLOUR THROUGH IT.THE SENOL INFORMATION IS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE REAR SURFACE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT AND CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASING OR BENDING TO ANY PART OF IT, NOR ARE THERE ANY DEFECTS TO THE LAMINATE ITSELF. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY TWO MINUSCULE  LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE . INCREDIBLY NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.

THE STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED TO THE SLEEVE IN THE USUAL POSITION

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE TO THIS SLEEVE

 THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED PROPERLY IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT, AND THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IT IS ALSO TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH TAPERED ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK ON THE LEADING EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASING AND BENDS. DUE TO IT BEING UNLAMINATED , AND AMAZINGLY VIRTUALLY NO HANDLING OR STAINING . THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE PROTECTION AFFORDED IT BY THE OUTER PLASTIC SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL  'UNCENSORED' BLUE RIMMED INNER SLEEVE INDICATING A STEREO PRESSING IS IN AMAZING CONDITION.

THE BACH CHOIR IS CREDITED ON THIS INNER SLEEVE BUT WAS BLOCKED OUT ON LATER 1969 RELEASES BECAUSE THEY OBJECTED TO BE ING CREDITED.

THIS IS MADE FROM REALLY THIN PAPER  AND MOST COPIES HAVE BEEN SPLIT ON THE SEAMS BUT HERE WE HAVE ONE WITH ALL THREE SEAMS TOTALLY MINT. THERE IS HARDLY A WRINKLE ON THE SLEEVE, AND IT IS TOTALLY WHITE AND UNMARKED WHERE

THE POSTER IS IN MINT CONDITION, HAVING NEVER BEEN NEAR A WALL. ALL OF THE FOLD LINES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND IS IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS HAS JUST HARDLY BEEN OPENED LET ALONE TAKEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE AND INNER AND POSTER MINT MINUS!!!

A REAL VAULT COPY OF THIS LP SET

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