THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LABEL CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS HAD JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED. THERE ARE STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE FROM THE ORIGINAL PRESS, SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE, A REAL RARITY AS THIS WAS SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM. TO HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED IS QUITE AMAZING

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS JUST PRISTINE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT . IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A TRULY OUTSTANDING DISC

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 ASERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

I DECIDED TO GIVE THIS UNPLAYED DISC ONE VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT!!

I GUARANTEE MY TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT.

THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF DISTORTION TO THIS SOUND, WHICH OF COURSE THERE SHOULDN'T BE  ON ANY UNPLAYED VINYL

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND A TOTALLY CRACKLE FREE REPRODUCTION

NO STATIC AT ALL AT ANY POINT, AND THE ONLY THING THAT TAKE THIS TO MINT MINUS ARE A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE DUST POPS

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS AN UNLAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE, AND HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND AMAZINGLY FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR EVEN BENDS.

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

OFTEN ON THESE  NON LAMINATED SLEEVES, THE COLOURS GET RUBBED AND RINGWEAR APPEARS. THIS COPY HOWEVER HAS ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS AND NO RINGWEAR, NOT EVEN MILD RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE AND HAVE ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE, AND AGAIN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE TOTALLY UNRUBBED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE 

THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE RAZOR SHARP CONDITION, AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT WAS WHEN FIRST PUT TOGETHER BACK IN 1972

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND PRISTINE AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS, BENDS, CREASES OR RECORD SHAPE.JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND APART FROM THE VERY LIGHTEST BIT OF GLUE AGEING IS IN UNSPLIT AND NEAR PERFECT CONDITION

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

AN ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING COPY OF THIS GREAT ALBUM, AND WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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