THE GENUINE UK PRESSING OF THIS FANTASTIC BOX SET FROM 1970

THE VERY FIRST ISSUES HAD DEEPER BOXES AND THEY WERE MADE IN GT BRITAIN. THIS INFORMATION MUST BE PRINTED INSIDE THE BOX LID RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM. VERY SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRST PRESSES HAD RUN OUT IN THE UK, WE USED THE AMERICAN BOX TO HOUSE ALL THE SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT ISSUES. THE US BOXES WERE SHALLOWER THAN THE UK COUNTERPARTS.

ALSO THE UK BOX HAD A CARDBOARD SHEET IN THE BASE TO ASSIST WITH THE RAISING OF THE HEIGHT OF THE CONTENTS SO THAT IT ALL FITTED SNUGLY INSIDE THE LARGER BOX

ALSO THE POSTER MUST HAVE MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

HERE THEN IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES YOU WILL EVER GET THE CHANCE TO OWN

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE 6 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE UNWORN. IN FACT THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE THE HOLE ON A COUPLE OF THE DISCS SHOWING THAT THESE ALBUM HAVE JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED. THERE IS JUST ONE MINISCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH LABEL INDICATIONG THE ONE PLAY THAT THESE LP'S HAVE HAD SINCE 1970, THATS 41 YEARS AGO!!!

THE VINYL

THESE THREE DISCS LOOK AS GOOD TODAY AS THEY DID WHEN THEY WERE PRESSED IN 1971. THEY ARE IMMACULATE AND TOTALLY BLEMISH FREE. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM THE ODD WISP!

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 3 ALBUMS AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WANT TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, IF THEY HAD THE CHOICE. I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE TO MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP'SS PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISCS SOUND. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER, ALL THAT YOU HEAR IS THE FANTASTIC STEREO REPRODUCTION WHICH IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THE CLARITY CRISP AND CLEAN.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND ANYWHERE, AND NO POPS OR CLICKS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS ME GRADING THIS MINT, IS THAT ON SIDE 4 THERE ARE THREE ROTATIONAL LITTLE POPS JUST BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS, ANDA LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND DURING THE FADE OUT TO SIDE 5. BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE SET

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS MAGNIFICENT VINYL SET MINT MINUS!!!

THE SLEEVE

WELL A BOX, NOT A SLEEVE. HOW HARD IS THIS TO FIND IS COLLECTIBLE CONDITION? NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. FIRSTLY YOU HAVE MOST OF THESE BOXES WITH TORN CORNERS AND SECONDLY THE POROUS SURFACE IS USUALLY VERY BADLY SOILED.

THIS ONE HAS ALL EIGHT CORNERS ON BOTH BASE AND LID IN IMMACULATE UNTORN CONDITION.

AS I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THIS IS THE UK BOX AND I WILL GET TO THE PROOF OF THAT LATER IN THE LISTING

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY CLEAN AND VIRTUALLY MARK FREE.THIS IS JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AN ORIGINAL BOX WITHOUT SOME FORM OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT SURFACE. THE LIGHT GREY POROUS SURFACE IS USUALLY RIDDLED WITH STAINS AND MARKS, AND IN MOST CASES LOOKING VERY VERY SHABBY INDEED. THIS ONE IS 95% IN AS NEW CONDITION. THERE IS JUST THE MILDEST HANDLING TO THE GREY SURFACE , BUT CERTAINLY NOT GRUBBY LIKE MOST ARE. THE BACKGROUND GREY PAPER IS STILL COMPLETELY INTACT, .

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE PRISTINE, AND THE SPINES ARE ALSO UNMARKED.THE SPINES ARE FINISHED IN A JET BLACK MATT FINISH WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND SHELFWORN, BUT HERE THE BLACK ISTILL PERFECTLY BLACK AND UNRUBBED. THE LEFT SPINE WITH THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE GOLD LEAF IS ONLY VERY VERY LIGHTLY FADED ON A FEW LETTERS

THE BASE OF THE BOX IS ALSO IN AN AMZING  NEAR MINT CONDITION. USUALLY SCRATCHED AND COLOUR WORN THIS ONE IS IMMACULATE, WITH JUST ONE SMALL SCAR LINE AND A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE FLECKS AT THE BOTTOM

AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS BOX HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE, TO BE IN THIS INCREDIBLE CONDITION

OPENING THE BOX AND LOOKING INSIDE AT THE PANEL UNDER THE LID, THIS IS WHERE THE EVIDENCE OF THE UK BOX IS FOUND. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE THERE IS THE BLOCK CAPITAL TYPEFACE WHICH READS ' MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN'

THE SUPERB ORANGE SURFACE IS IN BEAUTIFUL RICH AND VIBRANT CONDITION, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND IN IMMACULATE UNRUBBED CONTION. THE BASE OF THE BOX IS WHITE AND IMMACULATE AND NO EVEIDENCE OF ANY WEAR TO ANY OF THE FOUR CORNERS

INSIDE THE BOX THE THREE ALBUMS COME HOUSED INSIDE THREE VERY VULNERABLE ROUGH TEXTURED INNER SLEEVES THAT IN MOST CASES HAVE SPLIT ALONG THE SEAMS. ON THIS COPY HOWEVER ALL THREE INNERS ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION.AND THEY BARELY HAVE A CREASE LINE ON THEM ANYWHERE.

I HAVE REMOVED THE LP'S AND PLACED THEM IN POLY LINED INNERS TO ENSURE THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF THE ORIGINALS SUSTAINING ANY DAMAGE AT ALL

THE HUGE POSTER WHICH IS OFTEN MISSING FROM THIS SET IS IN MINT CONDITION. EVERY FOLD LINE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS OBVIOUS WHEN LOOKING AT IT, THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLACED ON ANY WALL, AND IN THIS CASE NEVER BEEN OUTOF THE BOX MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE. IT IS IMMACULATE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS AS WELL

THIS IS WITOUT A DOUBT THE BEST COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT MONEY CAN BUY AND SOME LUCKY COLLECTOR IS GOING TO GET A REAL TREASURE

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