THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED ELEKTRA LABELS DETERMINE THIS AS A FIRST PRES. THE MATRIX NUMBERS BACK THIS UP AS WELL.
THER SLIGHTLY TEXTURED RED SURFACE FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECT AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE 8-10 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUNF THE SPINDLE HOLE SHWING THAT THE LP HAS HAD LIMITED PLAY IN THE PAST 42 YEARS
THE VINYL
CLASSIC HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE DISC, APART FROM ONE VERY FINE HANDLING LINE ACROSS THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE 2, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ALL I CAN SEE ARE A FEW OF THE WISPIEST HAIRLINES. AND SOME LIGHT SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I HAVE BECOME 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 LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH A CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CLEANLINESS TO THE SOUND, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL.
PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE, MEANING THAT THE FEW CAREFUL PLAYS THIS HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, AND THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES ARE EXACTLY SILENT
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AT AND NO LOUD CLICKS
YOU MAY HEAR A LITTLE RANDOM STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND A FEW TINY LITTLE DUST POPS OR TICS HERE AND THERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE CORRECT FIRST PRESS UNLAMINATED MACNEILL GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS ALBUM COVER IS VERY CLEAN AND TIDY. THE COLOURS ARE ALL PRISTINE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS.
THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE.THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RING WEAR, OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
THERE ARE A FEW WHAT LOOK TO BE IMPRESSION SCRATCH LINES RUNNING HORIZONTALLY ACROSS THE IMAGE OF THE BAND MEMBERS.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE LIGHT RUBBING, OR SHELF WEAR
THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FINGER TO THUMB HALF SQUASHES. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE SOME RUBBING
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS NICE AS THE FRONT, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL LINES ALONG EACH PERIMETER EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT CONDITION INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. IT IS THE CORRECT ISSUE HAVING THE DATE 0370 IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER (MARCH 1970) SOME LIGHT AGEING AND A COUPLE OF SMALL STAINS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
