INCREDIBLE FIND THIS ONE. A TOTALLY UNPAYED MINT MINDBENDERS ALBUM WITH A SLEEVE THAT HAD BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC BAG SINCE IT WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL EVER FIND ANOTHER OF THESE!!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER HEAVILY TEXTURED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED AND ALL OF THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AS IS THE AREA SURROUNDING THE LOGO. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN VERY GLOSSY CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. . IT IS CLEAR JUST BY LOOKING AT IT, THAT IT HAS BARELY SEEN A TURNTABLE IN ITS 44 YEARS.IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, PLUS A FEW FINE HANDLING LINES AND MARKS
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 RECORDED THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I AM 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
A REALLY CLEAN AND CRISP MONO SOUND THAT NEEDS PLAYING LOUDLY.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO HEAVY LOUD CLICKS.
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD JUST A THREE OR FOUR TINY DUST POPS ON SIDE TWO AND THATS ALL
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL 100% MINT!!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM AND JUDGE ITS QUALITY FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB ORIGINAL 1966 LAMINATED FRONT, UNLAMINATED BACK SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRRIR. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!!! LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR TO THE SLEEVE, OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE FOR THAT MATTER
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE GLEAMING LAMINATE RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS 100% MINT!!
THE SPINE IS ALSO FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AGAIN THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND THERE IS NO RUBBING ANYWHERE, EVEN TO THE TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES. THIS SHOWS THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS PURE WHITE AND YOU CAN TELL THE SECOND YOU LOOK AT IT, THAT IT HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW. NO MARKS STAINS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING OR AGEING. PERFECT IN EVERY WAY
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN DIE CUT POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, AND IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
