THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL STEAMBOAT TRICOLOUR LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE UNFADED OR UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN 2-3  TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT IT IS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW WITH AN ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS SHEEN. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE FOUR ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES VISIBLE ON THE SURFACE  ON SIDE ONE, AND ONE ON SIDE TWO. THESE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON THE PLAYTHROUGH AND ARE TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL. PLUS JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE.

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 WHOLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

A TRUE FIRST PRESS PERFORMANCE WITH A STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. SILENT RUN IN'S AND LINKING GROOVES LEADING TO PERFECT SOUND PLAYED WITHOUT DISTORTION THUS NO GROOVE WEAR. 

VINYL THAT WAS AS HEAVY AS THIS WAS OFTEN POORER QUALITY THAN SAY THE VINYL THAT EMI USED FOR THEIR ALBUMS. A CASE IN POINT IS THE EARLY ISLAND PRESSES ON THE PINK EYE LABEL. THIS LP HOWEVER IS JUST MAGNIFICENT

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN A SPLIT SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

I HEARD NO  DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, PERHAPS TWO MINUSCULE STATIC TICS, AND I AM BEING VERY PICKY HERE

THE LP PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE WITH FLIPBACKS

THE VERY 1ST ISSUES OF THIS SLEEVE HAD A STICKER ON THE REAR SURFACE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. IT IS ONLY TO BE FOUND ON THE VERY 1ST ISSUES AND IT STATES THE FOLLOWING ' THIS STEREO RECORD CAN BE PLAYED ON MONO REPRODUCERS PROVIDED EITHER COMPATIBLE OR STEREO CARTRIDGE WIRED FOR MONO IS FITTED. RECENT EQUIPMENT MAY ALREADY BE FITTED WITH A SUITABLE CARTRIDGE. iF IN DOUBT CONSULT YOUR DEALER'

THIS SLEEVE IS ALSO AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN VERY CREASED CONDITION. FOR SOME REASON MOST ARE COVERED IN LAMINATE CREASES MOSTLY ALONG THE SPINE. THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE LAMINATE SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES

THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND TWO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP ALSO HAS A PIN PRICK OF LAMINATE LIFT

THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE GLOSSY BLACK SURFACE RUNNING FROM TIP TOP TIP, WITH A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE LEFT TIP END THE BOTTOM EDGE IS TOTALLY MINT

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. IT HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS. AGAIN THE BLACK GLOSSY SURFACE IS IN MINT STATE WITH BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS UNBLEMISHED. ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE HAS A SLIGHT SERRATED FEEL TO IT WHEN RUNNING A FINGER UP AND DOWN

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS,WITH A SMALL CHIP TO THE BOTTOM ONE, AND THE VERY VULNERABLE BLACK NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS IN SUPERB UNRUBBED CONDITION. NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER. THE STICKER IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM, AND IS IN FLAT, UNSPLIT, WHITE CONDITION. NO  CREASES

THE POSTER IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. PROBABLY NEVER REALLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. IT HAS SUPER SHARP FOLD LINES AND IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION

THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT GRADES MINT MINUS!!!

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