WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE DOMINION BELINDA ACREDITED'MONEY' PRESS OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM

AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING FIRST ISSUE STEREO VINYL THAT HAS TO BE HEARD TO BE BELIEVED

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION . THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.THE BLACK BASE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY UNBLEMISHED RIGHT INTO THE UNMARKED AND UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES ON BOTH SIDES.

I CAN MAKE OUT ABOUT 3-4 REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES, INDICATING THAT THE VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN THE LAST 48 YEARS

THE VINYL

AN ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT LP THAT ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY THE NORMAL WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN AND THESE ARE SPARCE

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 THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS STEREO VINYL PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE DELICATE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND I WOULD SUGGEST TAKING A LISTEN TO 'TIL THERE WAS YOU' WHICH HISTORICALLY ON MOST COPIES SUFFERS FROM POOR REPRODUCTION, BUT ON THIS VINYL IS PERFECT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER. THE RUN IN'S AND RUN OUTS ARE SILENT AND I HAVE EVEN RECORDED THE ENTIRE RUN OUT TO THE THINK WHEN THE DEAD WAX HITS THE LABEL.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY, WHICH INCIDENTALLY REPRODUCES THE MOST MAGNIFICENT STEREO SOUND. CRISP, CLEAR, WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

APART FROM THE OCCASIONAL SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE, (HEARD ONLY IN THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES), THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO MAR THIS OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS FANTASTIC STEREO LP AND JUDGE IT ON YOUR STANDARDS

FOR ME IT GRADES MINT MINUS WITH EASE!!!!

THE SLEEVE

IMMACULATE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HIGHLY POLISHED. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND MOST AMAZINGLY NOT ONE JOT OF RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND ON THIS ALBUM THAT IS RARE.

THERE ARE JUST TWO OF THE TINIEST AND MOST BARELY VISIBLE LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE

THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE COVER, AND IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, INCREDIBLY NOT ONE THUMB LINE EITHER.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR,AND IT IS VERY EVIDENT THIS LP HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. IT REALLY IS A MUSEUM QUALITY SLEEVE

THE SPINE IS JUST IMMACULATE. NOT ONE FINGER TO THUMB SQUASH OR EVEN SEMI SQUASH. THE TAPERED ENDS HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE LAMINATE AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE LAMINATE WHATSOEVER

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES. A SURE SIGN OF HOW OFTEN THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THE PHOTO DOESN'T DO IT ENOUGH JUSTICE. THERE IS NOT A BLEMISH ON IT ANYWHERE, AND THIS IS BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW. NO FINGERMARKS, NO GRUBBINESS, NO SIGNS OF AGEING OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO IMMACULATE AND ALL PERFECTLY STUCK IN PLACE.

THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED 'EMITEX' INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNCREASED CONDITION. NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT EITHER. A GREAT EXAMPLE

I REALLY CAN ONLY GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT OR MINT MINUS AT THE VERY HARSHEST

THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A VAULT CONDITION COPY OF THIS RARE SET, AND ONE COLLECTORS WILL BE PROUD TO HAVE IN THEIR COLLECTION. IT WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING, AND CAN ONLY GROW IN VALUE AND OUGHT TO BE TREATED AS NOT ONLY A SUPERB COLLECTIBLE BUT AN INVESTMENT AS WELL.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT, AND IF YOU NEED MORE PICTURES OR DETAILS JUST DROP ME A LINE
