I HAVE SCOURED THE INTERNET LOOKING FOR ANOTHER EXAMPLE WITH THIS SERIOUS LABEL ERROR AND CANNOT FIND ANY MORE COPIES WHATSOEVER. I HAVE CHECKED ON DISCOGS AND POPSIKE AND THERE ARE NONE RECORDED AT ALL THIS MAY WELL BE THE ONLY EXAMPLE WITH THIS ERROR. SPOTTED AS SOON AS IT CAME OFF THE PRESS AND CORRECTED. MY GUESS IS THAT THE BLACK INK HAD RUN OUT DURING THE PRINTING OF THIS PARTICULAR LABEL, OR A HEAD BLOCKAGE, RESULTING IN ALL OF THE BLACK MISSING FROM THE LOGO BOX AT THE TOP OF SIDE TWO OF THE LABEL. THE BLACK ROSE, THE LETTER 'A' AND THE WORD 'ATLANTIC' ALL MISSING FROM THE LABEL. SIDE ONE HAS NO PROBLEM WHAT A FANTASTIC ADDITION TO ANY AC/DC COLLECTION AND IN MINT CONDITION AS WELL

TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN AND ORANGE LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE BAND IS STILL CLEAN ON ONE SIDE AND A LITTLE BROWN MARK NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON THE OTHER. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW. AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS ON SIDE ONE

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 NOW DO 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

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BRILLIANT AND THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND,

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH, AND NO STATIC THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I HEARD NO DUST POPS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
