THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BEAUTIFUL PASTEL TRI COLOUR LABELS IN TOP CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. JUST 3-4  SMALL AND BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED IN THE 43 YEARS SINCE IT WAS PRESSED.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED. IN DAY LIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UPTO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT SOME WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES, AND MARKS

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

A TRUE FIRST PRESS PERFORMANCE WITH A STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. NEAR SILENT RUN IN'S AND LINKING GROOVES LEADING TO PERFECT SOUND PLAYED WITHOUT DISTORTION THUS NO GROOVE WEAR

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS, AND NO VINYL NOISE

YOU MAY HEAR SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE QUIETEST SPOTS, LESS SO IF YOU MOVE TO NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE

THERE ARE SOME RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS AND TICS HERE AND THERE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC'S PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT MINUS!!!! FOR SIDE ONE AND EXCELLENT PLUS FOR SIDE TWO

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, DUE TO THE EASILY RUBBED SURFACE  HERE IS ONE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED AND I SUSPECT THAT THIS WAS HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE

INCREDIBLY THERE ARE JUST TWO NEAR INVISIBLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE CORNERS ARE EVER SO LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE GREY SURFACE VIRTUALLY INTACT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS LOST THE GREY SURFACE AND IS THE ONLY AREA OF THIS SLEEVE THAT REALLY SHOWS ANY WEAR AT ALL. WITHOUT THIS THE SLEEVE WOULD HAVE BEEN MINT MINUS!!!

THE SPINE IS ALSO EXCEPTIONAL. IT IS ABSOLUTELY HUGE. VERY WIDE, AND THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED!!

95% OF THE DELICATE COLOURS ARE STILL PRESENT WITH THE ONLY WEAR BEING A FEW TINY SPECKS OF WHITE SHOWING AT EACH TIP END, AND ABOUT THREE PIN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE ALONG THE TOP LEADING EDGE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A FEW TINY LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLE. IT IS THE GREY SURFACE THAT USUALLY IS WORN AND MARKED, BUT THIS WELL PROTECTED SLEEVE HAS ALL OF IT PERFECTLY RETAINED. IT IS ALSO WORTH MENTIONING THAT THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER, WHICH IS ALSO VERY UNUSUAL ON THIS SLEEVE. THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY DING

I CANNOT SAY THAT IS HAVE SEEN ABETTER EXAMPLE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF WHITE INNER PANELS WITH JUST ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE SPINE TO THE LEFT SIDE. THIS IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH WIDE SPINE SLEEVES, BUT I GUARANTEE IT DOESN'T SHOW ON THE FRONT SURFACE!

THE INNER POLY LINED SLEEVE IS ALSO IN   PRISTINE CONDITION. IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSPLIT, AS WELL AS BEING UNCREASED, JUST A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT WRINKLES

THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT GRADES NEAR MINT!!!

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