• THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PASTEL  BLUE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED, AS IT THE WHITE TOP HALF, 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 THAT THERE IS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EITHER SIDE 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. A STUNNING DISC IN EVERY WAY

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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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

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  RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS  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 .

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC I A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND I CANT EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO  GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT!!! 

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

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED LIGHTLY TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE

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 EVERY INCH OF THE DELICATE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND IMPORTANTLY NO FINGER MARKS OR STAINS EITHER

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE ZERO!!! LINES BY THE SPINE.ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE WHICH RUNS ACROSS THE CORNER TIP, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% UNRUBBED,WITH JUST ONE TINY PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING  ON THE TOP EDGE, AND CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE SPINE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT AND IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND INCREDIBLY NO WEAR TO THE COLOURS WHATSOEVER, AND THIS IS VERY RARE ON THIS SPINE WHICH USUALLY RUBS ALONG THE TIPS, AGAIN A SIGN THAT IT HAS BEEN HOUSED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BEEN UNPLAYED FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE,AND AGAIN NOT ONE LINE CLOSE TO ANY OF THE EDGES

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN INNER SLEEVE, WAS REMOVED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND REPLACED WITH A W.H.SMITH POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE

THE POSTER IS ALSO IMMACULATE. HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE AND EVERY FOLD LINE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE SLEEVE  GRADES 100% MINT MINUS WITH EASE

INCREDIBLE COPY OF THIS ALBUM AND SLEEVE

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