THE RECORD

SUPERB AUDIO - PLEASE LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS

THE LABELS

THE FAMOUS RED AND PLUM ATLANTIC LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE TWO COLOURED SECTIONS ARE RICH AND DEEP IN COLOUR, AND THE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS REMAIN TOTALLY UNWORN. THE WHITE BANDS ACCROSS THE MIDDLE ARE VERY WHITE,AND HAVE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM. THERE IS STILL SOME RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SET HAS BEEN PLAYED, AND CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALS JUST ONE MINISCULE SPIDER LINE BARELY VISIBLE AND CLOSE TO THE HOLE.

THE VINYLS

WE HAVE TWO SUPERB GLOSSY BLACK DISCS WHICH LOOK MAGNIFICENT.THEY ARE WITHOUT DOUBT AS GOOD AS THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE ANY SIGNS OF SOME RIDICULOUSLY MINISCULE LITTLE WISPY LINES. IT IS BOTH OBVIOUS AND CLEAR THAT THE RECORDS HAVE BARELY TOUCHED A TURNTABLE, AND THAT WHEN THEY DID THEY WERE HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE

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 SEVEN  SECTIONS FROM THE LP'S, WHICH CONSISTS OF BOTH OPENING TRACKS TO EACH OF THE FOUR SIDES INCLUDING THE DEAD WAX, AND ONE FURTHER TRACK FROM EACH SIDE INCLUDING THE PRECEEDING RUN IN. THIS SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO UNDERSTAND HOW CLEAN THE SOUND IS

HAVE A LISTEN TO THE SUPERB PURITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS, IT REALLY IS MAGNIFICENT, AND JUST HOW THIS HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED ANY MORE IS AMAZING IN ITSELF. BUT SOME LUCKY WINNER IS GOING TO GET AN INCREDIBLE DOUBLE ALBUM SET

THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS PURE "FIRST PRESS" AND DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS EVER!!

AS THE OPENING TRACK STARTS TO PLAY IT IS CLEAR THAT THE LP IS PLAYING WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED IF IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS WORN OR FAR TOO HEAVY. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND THE SOUND IS PERFECTLY CLEAN. . THIS SUPERB PERFORMANCE CONTINUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES,

 THE SLEEVE

WORTH POINTING OUT AT THIS STAGE THAT THIS ALBUM CAME IN ONE OF TWO SLEEVES. THE UK SLEEVE OR THE US SLEEVE REBADGED WITH THE UK CATALOGUE NUMBER. THIS IS THE FIRST DECENT UK SLEEVE I HAVE EVER COME ACCROSS. IN FACT IT IS SOO GOOD IT IS EASY FOR ME TO GRADE NEAR MINT!!

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE. NOT EVEN THE SMALL ONES THAT YOU USUALLY FIND NEAR THE SPINE. IT IS FREE OF ANY OF THEM. THE ONLY BLEMISH IS THE LIGHTEST BIT OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE BOTTOM SECTION. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE JUST THE BAREST AND I DO MEAN BAREST TOUCH OF SHELF WEAR. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY BITS OF RUBBING THATS ALL, AND ACTUALLY NOT ALONG THE TOP WHERE THERE IS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY PINK PRICKS OF WHITE. THE SPINE IS JUST AMAZING. NOT ONE JOT OF SHELF WEAR AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT.

THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ON EACH ONE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FRONT , THAT IS MAGNIFICENT.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE LIGHTLY TEXTURES SURFACE WHICH IS IN MINT CONDITION ON BOTH PANELS. THE SLEEVE AS DENOTED IS THE ORIGINAL E.J.DAY SLEEVE MADE IN THE UK

THE TWO POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE IN AMZING NEAR NEW CONDITION, AND TO ME THIS IS FURTHER PROOF THAT THE LP'S HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED. THE TINIEST SLIVER OF BROWNING, NO SPLITS, NO WEAR, JUST LOOKING LIKE NEW

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