ONE OF THE HARDER SLADE ALBUMS TO COLLECT, AS BY 1977 THEIR POULARITY HAD SERIOUSLY WANED AND THEIR PARENT RECORD COMPANY POLYDOR HAD DITCHED THEM, AND THEY FOUND THEMSELVES ON THE LITTLE KNOWN BARN LABEL, WHICH WAS A VERY UNHEARD OF SUBSIDIARY OF POLYDOR, THE COMPANY THAT HELPED LAUNCH THEIR CAREER. A SUPERB SET OF SONGS ON THIS ALBUM, WHICH IS IN MINT CONDITION!!!
TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BROWN BASE COLOUR IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION, RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION. EVEN UNDER CLOSE SCRUTINY THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES SURROUNDING THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN JUST A COUPLE OF TINY 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 TO ALLOW BIDDERS TO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE POSSIBLE GOING FOR. I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON BEFORE ACTUALLY LAYING THE BID
THIS LP PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY CRACKLING.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SIMPLY SUPERB AND THE PRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT.
HEARING THIS SUPERB ALBUM SHOULD CONVINCE YOU THAT IT FULLY DESERVES IT'S GRADING.
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MOREW THAN THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF MILD STATIC OR ANY DUST POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS A SINGLE NON LAMINATED COVER.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. FIRSTLY THERE ARE NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED
THERE ARE SIX PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES AGAINST THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE BOTTOM TWO CORNER TIPS HAVE A LITTLE RUB
THE TOP EDGE SHOWS MILD SHELF RUB ALONG THE SURFACE AND A SPECK ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY HAS A TINY SPECK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END
THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF SMALL DENTS ON THE LEADING EDGES, AND SOME RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THERE IS ALSO VERY MILD SPORADIC SPECKS OF WHITE ON THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, JUST A FEW SMALL PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INSERT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION, AND THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT UNSPLIT CONDITION
THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+++++
