THE LABELS

THE FIRST PRESS OLIVE  GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST THREE OR FOUR MINUSCULE  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 39 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . THERE IS ONE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE RUNNING ACROSS A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS ON SIDE 2, BUT AS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE ALBUM THAT IT IS ONLY SUPERFICIAL. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST 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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS FIRST PRESS IS SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CLEARLY AND CRISPLY HEARD. IT HAS ALSO BEEN QUITE LOUDLY MIXED WHICH ADDS TO THE MAGNIFICENT SOUND GENERATED BY THE VINYL

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO SEVERE BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS, JUST THE ODD LITTLE BIT OF RANDOM LIGHT BACKGROUND VINYL NOISE , WHICH IS MORE LIKE A STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, BUT I HEAR IT BECAUSE I SIT NO MORE THAN 18 INCHES FROM MY SPEAKERS WHILST TYPING THIS OUT. IF I MOVE TO NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE THEN THIS IS VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED. TRY IT FOR YOURSELF

OTHER THAN THIS THERE ARE JUST A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS/TICS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

ORIGINAL HEAVY DUTY ROBOR GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE GREEN POWDERY SURFACE IS RICH AND VIBRANT .

THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A LITTLE SCUFFING TO THE ACTUAL FRONT LOWER EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS JUST ONE TINY BIT OF RUBBING NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT, AND 100% UNSQUASHED, AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE INTACT. THE ONLY RUBBING BEING AT THE VERY  BOTTOM TIP, WHERE THERE IS JUST A TINY SPECK OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH ON THE TIP ITSELF.

ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE GREENS AND YELLOWS ARE PERFECTLY PRESERVED. NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE. THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE VERY TOP OF THE SLEEVE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS  TWO SUPERB LIME GREEN INNER PANELS THAT ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION WITH JUST ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE ON THE RIGHT PANEL NEAR THE SPINE, AT THE VERY BOTTOM

THE PLAIN WHITE DIECUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT AND UNCREASED CONDITION, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!

IT REALLY IS A STUNNING EXAMPLE
