THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. THE ORANGE BASE COLOUR IS RICH, VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LABELS, AND ALONG WITH THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL MEANS THAT THIS ALBUM IS PROBABLY UNPLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND LOOKS LIKE IT WAS FRESHLY PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS HANDLING OR OTHERWISE ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLIUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE WHATSOEVER. A MAGNIFICENT DISC
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 FINSIH AS I BELIEVE THAT IT'S WHAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WANT FROM SELLERS OF RARE VINYL ON EBAY.
THIS ALBUM PLAYS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, WITH A STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS FREE OF ANY DISTORTION, CRACKLING, CLICKS, POPS OR STAIC. JUST AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER FIND A COPY
SO PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
A METICULOUSLY CARED FOR SLEEVE, WHICH HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW IN A PLASTIC OUTER ENSURING THIS LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID IN 1974.
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM SHOREWOOD PACKAGING
THE FRONT SURFACE IS PERFECTION, AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAIND AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS, AND AMAZINGLY NOT EVEN ANY OF THE SMALL LINES YOU WOULD NORMALLY FIND NEAR THE SPINE, AND 100% COLOUR RETENTION
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHEF WEAR, WHICH IS ANOTHER SIGN OF COMPLETE PROTECTION FROM NEW.
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT ALL THE WAY ALONG THE LENGTH AND ALL OF THE BLACK LETTERING IS LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS ONE SLIGHT DENT AT THE VERY TOP AS SEEN IN THE PICS
THE OPENING EDGE IS PRISTINE RAZOR SHARP WITH NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ANYWHERE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERYBIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT WITH JUST THE BAREST SHADE OF HANDLING TO THE PURE WHITE SURFACE
THE CBS AVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONITION IMAGINABLE. FLAT AND CLEAN WITH BARELY A CREASE LINE TO SPEAK OF
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THE SLEEVE MINT
A TRULY VAULT COPY OF THIS COLLECTIBLE ALBUM AND SLEEVE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
