THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE OLIVE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 39 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM IN AN AS NEW CONDITION. ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW 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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION ONE OTHER RANDOM TRACK INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES AS THEY REPRESENT HOW THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS. CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION WITH JUST THE VERY ODD LITTLE POP HERE AND THERE AND THE VERY VERY OCCASIONAL BIT OF BARELY AUDIBLE BACKGROUND
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL WB GATEFOLD SLEEVE. THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF BEING HARD TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS ONE OF THOSE BLACK POWDERY FINISHES THAT ARE SERIOUSLY PRONE TO RUBBING AND RING WEAR.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NOT EVEN ANY OF THE SMALL LINES THAT USUALLY GATHER NEAR THE SPINE. THE BLACK SURFACE HAS BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR AND THE ONLY LIGHT LOSS OF COLOUR APPEARS ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE WHERE THERE IS A LIGHT DUSTING OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH, AND SOME TINY PINK PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH ELSEWHERE. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS SLEEVE I HAVE SEEN AND IT HAS CLEARLY BEEN WELL PROTECTED FOR MOST OF ITS 39 YEARS. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES AND SPINE HAVE THE BAREST TRACE OF SHELF WEAR. ALL OF THE SPINE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PRISTINE INNER SURFACE, WITH THE OPENING EDGE NEAR THE SPINE IS PERFECT UNSPLIT CONDITION
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN CREASE FREE AND JUST SHOWS LIGHT HANDLING TO THE WHITE SURFACE
THE RARE PROMOTIONAL PACK INCLUDES 4 SUPERB BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS OF ALICE AND THE BAND. THEY ARE ALL IN SUPEB CONDITION, AS IT THE 2 PAGE LEAFLET. ALL HOUSED IN A WHITE PRESS PACK, MAKING THIS A TRULY OUTSTANDING COLLECTIBLE SET
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
