THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN VERY CLEAN CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THERE IS A COUPLE OF SMALL WHITE FLECKS SHOWING THROUGH ON SIDE ONE
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED A FAIR FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS
THE VINYL
GLOSSY LP THAT STILL LOOKS GREAT. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT HANDLING LINES THAT CAN BE SEEN IN DAYLIGHT AND MANY SWIRLY HAIRLINES UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH IN ORDER TO ALLOW POTENTIAL BIDDERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH VERY WELL ON BOTH SIDES,WITHOUT ANY SERIOUS ISSUES. THE SURFACE MARKS DO CAUSE SOME MINOR IRRITANTS IN THE FORM OF SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND AND LITTLE POPS, WHICH ON SIDE ONE IS MOST EVIDENT DUROING THE FIRST THREE TRACKS AND THE LAST ONE. I CAN SAY WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT THERE IS NO SKIPPING OR JUMPING, AND ACTUALLY NO DISTORTION TO THE CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION.
SIDE 2 PLAYS THROUGH WITH ONLY SOME OCCASIONAL LIGHT BACKGROUND
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP AND BE THE JUDGE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP EXCELLENT MINUS / EXCELLENT
I NORMALLY WOULDN'T CONSIDER LISTING AN LP WITH THIS GRADE, BUT DUE TO THE RARITY FO THE LP I AM MAKING AN EXCEPTION HERE
THE SLEEVE
STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE IS SUPERB CONDITION
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE STILL HAS A VERY STRONG SHEEN TO IT
THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE. THERE ARE 3 SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, 2 NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND 4 NEAR THE TOP EDGE, ALSO 2 THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR
THE SPINE IS JUST IMMACULATE. TYPEFACE FULLY LEGIBLE, SPINE UNSQUASHED AND NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE. HAS THE TAPERED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH A FEW TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE LP WAS PLUCKED FROM THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY VERY RARE. AS MOST ARE HEAVILY SOILED. THIS ONE JUST HAS SOME LIGHT HANDLING NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. ALL OF THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY STUCK IN PLACE, AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE BLACK SURFACES AT ALL
THERE IS 32/- WRITTEN IN PENCIL ALONG THE TOP EDGE, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN THE THRITY TWO SHILLINGS THAT THE LP COST AT THE TIME OF RELEASE. THIS WILL RUB OUT, BUT I HAVE LEFT IT THERE FOR AUTHENTICITY. INCIDENTALLY 32/- EQUATES TO £1.60 IN TODAYS MONEY
THE ORIGINAL GREASEPROOF PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOTALLY UNSPLIT CONDITION, A LITTLE AGED BUT REALLY NICE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
