INCREDIBLE BARELY PLAYED CONDITION
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PURPLE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, SIDE 1 HAS A PIN PRICK OF THE WHITE SHOWING THROUGH THE PURPLE BASE, BUT OTHERWISE EVERYTHING IS AS MINT AS YOU WOULD WANT. THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
BEING A FIRST PRESS THE 'GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' IS WORDED AROUND THE RIM. LATER PRESSES HAD 'EMI RECORDS' IN ITS PLACE
THERE ARE JUST 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN ON A TURNTABLE SINCE 1972
THE VINYL
SUPERB PAIR OF FIRST PRESS REAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC THAT HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS MARKS OR HANDLING SIGNS IN NORMAL LIGHT AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES HERE AND THERE
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 BOTH ALBUMS FROM STRT TO FINISH TO ENABLE ANY BIDDER THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON. I AM CONVINCED THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR EBAY SALE OF QUALITY VINYL
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
IN PARTICULAR ITS WORTH LISTENING TO CHILD IN TIME AS THIS STARTS VERY QUIETLY AND GIVES A REAL FLAVOUR OF THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND SOUNDBITE
IT PLAYS SUPERBLY AND THERE IS NOTHING WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVERE, YES THE VERY ODD BIT OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPOTS, AND NO MORE THAN 4 BARELY AUDIBLE TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY, BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE OF THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED GATEFOLD IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE FIRST THING TO NOTICE IS THE FACT THAT THE SLEEVE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR.AND THE LAMINATE IS ALL PROPERLY INTACT NO LIFT OF FLAKE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES. AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AT ALL WHATSOEVER, THIS SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS FROM RING WEAR AT WORST AND RECORD SHAPE AT BEST BUT HERE IS A STAGGERING COPY WITH JUST THE BAREST AND I DO MEAN BAREST TINY BIT OF RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL, AND IT'S CLEAR THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW
THE SPINE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT, AND THE TYPEFACE LEGIBLE COMPLETELY
THE REAR SURFACE IS ONCE AGAIN IMMACULATE WITH AN ULTRA GLOSSY SHEEN. THIS SIDE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INTERIOR
THE ORIGINAL INNERS ARE ALL INTACT AND UNSPLIT
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
A SUPERB HIGHLY PRIZED COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS OUTSTANDING DOUBLE ALBUM
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
