THE LABELS

THE GREEN LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PASTEL  GREEN COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1 NEAR INVISIBLE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED, IN FACT NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE NEW.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SPOT A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. THIS IS THE BEST COPY OF THIS ALBUM I HAVE EVER COME ACCROSS

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 PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT AS I BELIEVE IT'S WHAT EBAYERS WANT FROM SELLERS. IT IS OFTEN SAID AND FAIRLY SO THAT BUYING FROM EBAY CAN BE A TOTAL LOTTERY, AND THAT SELLERS OF LIMITED KNOWLEDGE DESCRIBE LP'S AS MINT AND ARE ACTUALLY ANYTHING BUT. WELL HERE YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE ACTUAL ALBUM YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD, AND ITS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CRYSALIS  RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR EARLY LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS. HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH . I HEARD NOTHING OTHER THAN THE SUPERB SOUND, PERHAPS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OR BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS GREAT VINYL AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

I WOULD GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT!!!  WITH EASE

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE  SLEEVE FROM HIPGNOSIS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES NOR ARE THERE ANY CREASE LINES EITHER, AND EVEN THE TINY LINES THAT USUALLY FORM NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST TWO!.THE COLOURS REMAIN PERFECT AND UNRUBBED . THERE IS ONE TINY THUMB LINE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE BAREST TRACE OF STICKER REMOVAL IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE TOP EDGE IS MINT AND UNRUBBED, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS MINOR RUBBING IN A COUPLE OF TINY SPOTS AND ONE WHITE CHIP RIGHT IN THE LEFT CORNER

THE SPINE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT AND IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT WITH JUST ONE REALLY TINY FINGER TO THUMB SEMI SQUASH AT THE VERY BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE, NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE ONES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE SLEEVE  GRADES NEAR MINT

A SUPERB FIRST PRESS EXAMPLE OF THIS RECORD AND SLEEVE

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