THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH 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. THERE IS ALSO THE THE INITIALS PRT PENNNED NEATLY ON ONE SIDE OF ONE OF THE DISCS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 34 YEARS HAVING ONLY HAD ONE PLAY FROM NEW, AND BOTH ARE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. THE VINYL SHINES LIKE A BRAND NEW SET OF DISCS. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE AND THEY ARE FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE. A SUPERB SET!!

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 RARE 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  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 A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO  GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT!!! 

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND SHINY AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES NOR ARE THERE ANY CREASE LINES EITHER, 

THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED

THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

ALSO NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% UNRUBBED, AND THE GLOSSY SURFACE STRETCHES FROM TIP TO TIP. THE TWO BOTTOM RIGHT TIP ENDS DO HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THEM.

THE SPINE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT AND IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL THE COLOURS ARE PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE IS ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE BOTTOM TIP.

THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THESE DISCS HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT . TOTALLY PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED, AND ONLY ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION, HAVING HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, THEY ARE BOTH , UNCREASED, AND UNSPLIT, WITH JUST A SHADOW OF GLUE AGEING ON THE SEAMS

THIS SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS
