IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ALBUM YOU WILL KNOW ONE THING, THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A COPY OF THIS WITH A SLEEVE THAT IS PURE WHITE!!!

BUT LOOK NO FURTHER BECAUSE HERE IS A COPY THAT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND HAS NO GRUBBINESS TO ANY PART OF THE DELICATE UNLAMINATED TEXTURED SURFACE. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE PASTEL BLUE BASE COLOUR IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND NO MARKS OR STAINS TO BE SEEN, AND IT STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS SO PERFECT THAT IT STILL HAS MANY SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL CLINGING TO IT FROM THE FACTORY PRESS. ALL OF WHICH WOULD HAVE FALLEN AWAY IF THIS ALBUM HAD BEEN PLAYED. THERE IS ONE RIDICULOUSLY SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS ALBUM HAS HAD JUST THE ONE CAREFUL PLAY FROM NEW.

FINALLY ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND LIKE THE BASE COLOUT REMAINS UNRUBBED

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS MINT CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , POSSIBLY A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

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, ALLOWING ANY POTENTIAL BUYER TO HEAR EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE RUN IN GROOVE AND THE LINKING GROOVES AS WELL AS THE INCREDIBLE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION. I AM CERTAIN THAT ANY POTENTILA BIDDER WOULD CHERISH THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING MAKING A BID ON, AND WHILST THIS TAKES ME FAR LONGER TO DO, I AM SURE IT'S THE WAY FORWARD FOR EBAY SALES OF VINYL. I'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS

THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. EACH NOTE IS HEAR WITH ATOTAL CLARITY AND WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL. A REAL BEAUTY. IF I WANTED TO BE PICKY THEN RIGHT AT THE END OF SIDE ONE DURING THE RUN OUT THERE ARE A FEW TINY POPS, BUT OTHER THAN THAT PERHAPS THE ODD SECOND OF STATIC, BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER WISH TO FIND AND OWN

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE

I HAVE ALREADY INDICATED AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE JUST HOW IMPOSSIBLE THIS IS TO FIND IN A PURE WHITE STETE, SO HERE I'LL JUST CONCENTRATE ON THE CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS. NO MARKS , STAINS, OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING. NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS OR DINGS, AND AL FOUR CORNERS ARE PRISTINE. EVEN THE SMALL LINES THAT FORM BY THE SPINE ARE REDUCED TO JUST TWO MINISCULE AND BARELY VISIBLE ONES.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND AGAIN IT'S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN SAT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER COVER FROM NEW

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION WITH JUSY THE LAST LETTER OF FLOYD SHOEING A SHADOW OF RUBBING, BUT NOW I AM REALLY BEING PICKY.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH NO EVIDENCE THAT THE LP HAS EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

FINALLY THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SPECIAL AS THE FRONT.

SOMEONE HERE IS GOING TO GET AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER OF A COPY, AND I KNOW THIS CAN NEVER BE UPGRADED FROM

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT!!!

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