THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION.
BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITEBAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE LABEL ALSO HAS THE 'SUPERHYPE MUSIC' CREDITS
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE. NO WISPY LINES EVEN
PLAYING THE RECORD
WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON
THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS
THE CLARITY OF THIS ALBUM IS JUST STAGGERING
IT IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THE INTRODUCTION TO 'ROCK AND ROLL' IS JUST INCREDIBLE
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND WHATSOEVER
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS OR LOUD POPS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO BKACKGROUND STATIC EITHER
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR EVEN STATIC TICS
A REALLY UNBELIEVABLE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ZEPPELIN MONSTER
FOR US THIS GRADES A FULL MINT
BUT DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS
UNLAMINATED STRONG CARDED ORIGINAL ISSUE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. IT IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE HAVING SPENT THE LAST 50 YEARS SITTING INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE, AND NOT ONE MARK OR STAIN
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE. WITH THE BOTTOM LEFT HAVING A TINY SPECK OF RUB, WHICH IS THE ONLY MINUTE ISSUE WITH THE ENTRIE COVER
THERE IS ONE IINVISBLE AND TINY PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE AND EASILY RUBBED COLOURS THERE. JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP, AND EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER
THE SPINE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR AND IS FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT - UNUSUALLY NO RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER SURFACE IS ON SHOW. THIS USUALLY HAS ALL SORTS OF BLEMISHES BUT AGAIN BECAUSE OF HOW THE RECORD WAS STORED, THIS ONE IS TOTALLY MINT
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. VERY RARE TO FIND ONE THAT HAS NO SEAM SPLITS LIKE THIS ONE. TOTALLY FLAY AND CREASE FREE. NO DAMAGE OR EVEN TINY NICKS TO THE TOP EDGE AND THE FLIPBACKS ARE PRISTINE. MY GUESS IS THAT THE RECORD WAS REMOVED FROM IT ON DAY ONE AND KEPT SEPARATELY
THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS WITH EASE
we believe this copy is as close to perfect as possible
