THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION . THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS 1969 VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
ROCK SOLID HEAVYWEIGHT DISC THAT HAS KEPT ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE.IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A SUPERB BARELY TOUCHED 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 ALL OF THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR IN FULL WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON. A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THIS STEREO PRESS PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THE SUPERB SOUND GENERATED BY THIS DISC. IT IS TO ME AS CLEAR AS THE ORIGINAL 1963 FIRST PRESSES
I GUARANTEE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE MAGNIFICENT STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT, NOT EVEN ON THE VULNERABLE 'YESTERDAY' NOTHING IT'S JUST REALLY CLEAN AND CRISP ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE IS NO HEAVY CRACKLING, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DUST POPS EITHER, AND JUST THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC MINT!!! IT IS THAT GOOD. MINT MINUS AT THE ABSOLUTE WORST
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE DOES DISPLAY ONE CREASE ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT BCORNER. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CORNER WAS SLIGHTLY BENT AT ONE POINT IN TIME
THERE ARE TEN LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND A SIMILAR AMOUNT ALONG THE TOP EDGE, BUT JUST ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
REMARKABLY NOT ONE THUMB LINE ANYWHERE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE THE LIGHTEST BIT OF RUBBING TO EACH WITH THE LAMINATE RUBBED FROM THE ABSOLUTE TIP ENDS, AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS A SMALL DING TO IT.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE LAMINATE FULLY PROTECTING THEM APART FROM THE TOP LEFT AND BOTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. A COUPLE OF TINY FINGER TO THUM SQUASHES, BUT OTHER THAN THAT VERY FLAT, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP AND JUST HAS A TINY BIT OF BURRING IN A COUPLE OF PATCHES
TURNING THE SLEEVE OVER REVEALS A STILL REALLY WHITE EXAMPLE OF THIS REAR SURFACE. YOU KNOW THAT MOST ARE BATTERED AND STAINED, AND HAVE TORN FLIPBACKS. BUT THIS ONE IS WAY BETTER THAN MOST
IT IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST SOME LIGHT HANDLING TO THE OPENING EDGE,
EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT, AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE REAR SURFACE AT ALL. THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL STILL PERFECTLY ADHERED,EVEN THOUGH THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER BY THE OPENING EDGE IS MISSING A SMALL CHUNK
THIS IS THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE AS DENOTED ON THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK
THE ORIGINAL EMI ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. STILL TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT, AND IN AN IDEAL WORLD WOULD NEED UPGRADING TO MATCH THE STUNNING VINYL
MY BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
