THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE MAD HATTER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, THE BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE JUST 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, NO  LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT. OFFERING THE VINYL UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION DOES NOT REVEAL ANYTHING OTHER THAN A COUPLE PF MICROSCOPIC 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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISS-DESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. 

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE CLARITY IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, 

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM STATIC

I HEARD A FEW OCCASIONAL TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS REPRODUCTION MINT MINUS

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

HOWARDS NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL A BEAUTIFULLY BLUE COLOUR. NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER AND STILL RICH AND VIBRANT AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES AND NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR. NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHICH IS ALSO A REAL RARITY ON THIS SLEEVE. JUST THE TINIEST PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS FLAT CLEAN AND ONLY HAS A FEW TINY SPECKS OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE LEADING EDGES (VISIBLE ONLY USING MACRO LENS) , AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A DOT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS STUNNING AS THE FRONT, NO LINES ON ANY OF THE EDGES

WHAT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING IS THAT THERE IS NO RINGWEAR, AND NOT EVEN A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE UNRUBBED PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS FLAT AND CREASE FREE. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT FOXING MOTTLES IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER IS FLAT , AND SPLIT FREE

A REALLY INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT 

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