THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER  LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE UNRUBBED

THERE ARE 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS CLASSIC ALBUM HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE. IMPOSSIBLE AS IT SEEMS

THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES TO BE SEEN WITH THE NAKED EYE, AND EVEN USING A MGNIFYING GLASS I COULD ONLY SPOT TWO MINISCULE ONES

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES.

THE VINYL IS MARK FREE AND EVEN UNDER INTESNE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN

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, AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE 3RD TRACK 'FLUFF' AS THIS IS THE QUIETEST TRACK ANDUSUALLY SOUNDS AWFUL DUE TO BACKGROUND CRACKLING ALL THE WAY THOUGH. HERE YOU WILL HEAR JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF VINYL NOISE, RANDOMLY

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BRILLIANT WITH NOTES AND VOCALS CRISPLY AND CLEARLY HEARD. THERE SI THE BAREST TOUCH OF LIGHT VINYL BACKGROUND IN THE VERY QUIETEST PASSAGES ONLY

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO THE RECORD AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

VERY HARD TO FIND IN TOP CONDITION DUE TO THE DUSTY BLACK SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY BADLY WORN AND RUBBED, AND A VERY DIRTY REAR SURFACE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, BENDS OR FOLDS ANYWHERE, AND AMAZINGLY THERE IS NOT ONE SMALL LINE NEAR THE SPINE OR THE OTHER PERIMETER EDGES FOR THAT MATTER, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL DENTS NEAR THE SPINE

THE DELIVATE BLACK SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE WITH JUST A SHADOW OF RUBBING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES

THE TOP EDGE IS MINT, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE JUST HAS ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH. CLEARLY A WELL PROTECTED SLEEVE

THE SPINE IS ALSO USUALLY RUBBED AWAY, BUT HERE THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS  RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW WHERE THE RECORD WAS TAKEN IN AND OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE REAR SURFACE IS ONLY MILDLY HANDLED AND THUS THE WHITE SURFACE IS SLIGHTLY TARNISHED, BUT NOWHERE NEAR SOME OF THE DISATSTERS I HAVE SEEN

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION PAIR OF INNER PANELS.

THE ORIGINAL AND OFTEN MISSING LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN WHITE, UNSPLIT CONDITION, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF CREASE LINES TO THE BOTTOM TWO CORNERS

I GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

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