Description

 

 Hello my name is Brian and I have been a vinyl fan for many years now and have always bought and sold items to feed my vinyl hunger...I have never been a dealer but will always describe my items for sale as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed pictures.
If you read my ebay feed back as a seller you will see that people are happy with what they recieve from my auctions. I try not to waffle on about how rare an album is using silly expressions such as "AWESOME" or "IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS" etc etc (yawn yawn)!

I am very particular about packaging the vinyl. I use cruciform boxes with cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap for extra protection. The vinyl is always packaged outside of the sleeve to prevent seem splits. I am happy to post any where in the world if fully insured and the cost will depend on the final selling value, so I can't advise the cost until the auction has ended.

Please bid with confidence, and if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase i am happy to give a FULL refund on receiving the item back in the condition I posted it out in.

I recommend extra insurance for the more valuable items (over £40), it only costs a couple of pounds and is well worth it in my opinion. I will NOT post items over seas without full insurance.

I use the 'RECORD COLLECTOR' grading system with a + or - where appropriate.

so here we go.........

The rear is in similar MINTY condition with no ring wear just a tiny 1mm scuff on the gorillas belly. The spine is almost perfect witha amall edge scuff under the catalogue number and the information is fully readable N/MINT. The top edges are in very nice N/MINT condition with almost no wear. The bottom edges have light shelf wear but are not split EX+. The opening edges are in great N/MINT condition. The inner gatefold is in full MINTcondition and is AS NEW. There is wear to the very tips of the corners. Over all a well above average example of this highly collectable sleeve. Some 42 years old now and in a solid N/MINT condition.

VINYL............ The surfaces look great with almost no very light hairlines and no deep scratches or marks any where to be seen, nice glossy deep black shine.

PLAYBACK..
I am fortunate to own a LINN SONDEK with an EKOS arm and ARKIV cartridge connected to LINN amps and LINN speakers that together show up the faults as well as the wonderful music that vinyl contains. First and most important the sound quality is 100%. There is absolutely no deteriation in the playback full, rich and loud, wonderful stereo and a big wide sound stage. These early Vertigo pressings really captured it all, GREAT STUFF! There is practically no background static/dust crackle even in the quieter parts. There are NO loud pops or clicks and there are no jumps. Just pure quality throughout. N/MINT, N/MINT. Archive quality!


A wonderful copy of a great album. You will never need to upgrade, infact I am sure you won't find one as good as this copy, ever. Very nice copy indeed.


If you have any questions, need further information or more photographs, please do not hesitate to contact me.



Thank you for looking.
Good luck bidding, Brian.
