THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE LARGE SWIRL LABEL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION.THE LARGE SWIRL WAS ONLY ON THE FIRST PRESSES OF THIS ALBUM, AND GUARANTEES A FIRST ISSUE . THE WHITE SIDE JUST COULD NOT BE WHITER. IT IS TOTALLY CLEAN AND IN MINT CONDITION. THE WHITE STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS AGAIN 100% PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS CLASSIC ALBUM HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE. IMPOSSIBLE AS IT SEEMS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A FEW TIMES. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDERINTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN
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 HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. WITH A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION AND PRODUCTION
EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY. THERE IS NO FRYING BACON OR SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLING AT ALL ANYWHERE!!
NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS ETC.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THERE IS A MINUSCULE AMOUNT OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE DEAD WAX RUN IN TO EACH SIDE, AND IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES BUT THAT IS ALL
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE ON MINUSCULE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE REPRODUCTION
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
STUNNING HOWARDS UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
TO FIND AN UNLAMINATED SLEEVE IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. IT JUST HAS ONE TINY LITTLE MARK TO THE RIGHT OF THE SPIRAL LOGO IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER.
THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NOTICE WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE OUTER PLASTIC SLEEVE IS THAT THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN IN ALL OF THE RIGHT PLACES. UNLIKE MANY SLEEVES OF THIS TYPE THERE IS NO RUBBING AND THEREFORE NONE OF THE GREEN UNDERSURFACE SHOWING (THINK SABBATH PARANOID SLEEVE)
THERE ARE NO CREASE LINES AT ALL ON THE SURFACE, AND NO BENDS OR FOLDS, AND AMAZINGLY JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ONLY VERY MILD RUBBING TO THE SURFACES
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE ONLY COLOUR BLEMISHES ARE A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OR WHITE SHOWING THROUGH ON THE LEADING EDGE, AND THE VERY TIP ENDS LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE BURRS
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS UNWORN AS THE FRONT AND JUST AS MAGNIFICENT,
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ALMOST MINT CONDITION INNER SURFACE. THE WHITE SURFACE HAS VERY MILD
THE ORIGINAL SWIRLY INNER SLEEVE IS IN ORIGINAL UNSPLIT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, JUST NATURAL AGEING TO THE EDGES IN PARTICULAR AND A COUPLE OF CORNER CREASES. HAS THE 1070 DATE PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER ENSURING THIS IS THE EXACT INNER THAT CAME WITH THIS ALBUM
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
