THIS VINYL HAS BOTH THE RED AND PLUM MATRIX NUMBERS AND THE WARNER K MATRIX NUMBERS, INDICATING THAT THIS VINYL WAS MANUFACTURED WITH THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS PLATES AND THUS WILL HAVE THE SAME OUTSTANDING AUDIO QUALITY THAT A RED AND PLUM LABEL ISSUE WILL HAVE. ALSO NO WARNER LOGO AT 3 O'CLOCK ON THE LABEL INDICATES THE VERY FIRST ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS PRIOR TO THE CREDITS BEING ADDED 

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN AND ORANGE LIGHTLY TEXTURED LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. AND THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS STILL PURE WHITE AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE SHOWING THAT THE ALBUM HAS JUST HAD THE ONE PLAY FROM NEW

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN . IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS  FLAWLESS  AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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.

THIS SUPERB FIRST PRESS PERFORMANCE PLAYS ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION OF THIS  PRESS IS BOTH CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUDLY MIXED

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE MINUSCULE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED AND DELICATE MACNEILL GATEFOLD SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN GREAT CONDITION DUE TO THE POROUS WHITE AND GREY SURFACE WHICH ATTRACTS DIRT AND GRIME LIKE A MAGNET. THIS ONE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HANDLING TO THE WHITE SURFACE AND NO AGEING EITHER. A STUNNING EXAMPLE WHICHEVER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT

THERE ARE THREE MINUSCULE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY FREE FROM SHELF WEAR,INCLUDING THE CORNER TIPS, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO LIGHT RUBBING AT THE CORNERS ONLY

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED APART FROM ONE LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION IN THE MIDDLE.THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL  RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT

THE ORIGINAL POLYDOR MADE INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, AND IN CLEAN CONDITION WITH JUST A LITTLE GLUE BROWNING ALONG THE TOP EDGEAND BOTTOM EDGES

THE LYRIC INSERT IS IN FLAT AND UNCREASED CONDITION

THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS

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