THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS NEATLY PENNED HIS INITIALS ON SIDE ONE

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAY LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS SPARKLING VINYL,AND IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS  AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW 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 FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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

INCREDIBLE!!! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE REPRODUCTION. SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES THAT PERFORM TO A VERY HIGH GRADE

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE

NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD TINY SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC HERE AND THERE

THERE ARE A FEW TINY DUST POPS / STATIC TICS DURING THE PLAY MOSTLY ON SIDE TWO IN THE FINAL COUPLE OF TRACKS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT +++

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FULLY LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND Co GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE LAMINATE HAS A HIGH GLOSS SHEEN TO IT. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR FOLDS, AND NO DEEP CREASE LINES.

THERE ARE SEVEN SMALL LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINEFOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE SMALL THUMB LINE ON FRANKS HAIR AT THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECTLY LAMINATED. UN=DAMAGED AND ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS SHOW A TINY SPECK OF WHITE ON THEM.

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE IS ONE SMALL PATCH OF LAMINATE MISSING ON THE BOTTOM TIP FOR ABOUT ONE INCH UP INTO THE SPINE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN GLEAMING CONDITION, WITH FIVE TINY LINES AGAINST THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND A SIMILAR AMOUNT ON THE VERY BOTTOM EDGE. ONE LIGHT THUMB CREASE LINE ON THE OPENING EDGE.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A  PRISTINE PAIR OF  INNER PANELS

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION HAVING REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 43 YEARS. IT IS VERY WHITE, UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED, WITH JUST SOME VERY LIGHT AGEING

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT ++

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

GARRY
