THIS IS THE SLEEVE THAT HAS THE INCORRECTLY WIRED SAFETY PLUG. THE SLEEVE WAS PULLED AND REPLACED WITH A STICKER OVER THE IMAGE.  HERE THEN IS A GENUINE 1ST ISSUE WITH THE UNSTICKERED SLEEVE

ALSO I HAVE SEEN OTHER LISTINGS WHERE SELLERS STATE THAT THE FIRST OF THE FIRST PRESSES CAME WITH A POSTER. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!

WHAT THEY CAME WITH IS A REDEMPTION VOUCHER WHICH COULD BE SENT OFF TO GET A POSTER

THIS COPY HAS THE VOUCHER INCLUDED AND IS PROBABLY RARER THAN THE POSTER AS MOST WOULD HAVE BEEN REDEEMED

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE MAD HATTER LABELS ARE IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE  BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND HATTER LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

GLEAMING HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE. A STUNNING DISC!!

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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 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 PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS

THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN THE RUN IN GROOVES AND IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES ONLY

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  MINT MINUS!!!  IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED JAMES UPTON SINGLE SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE AND THUS NO COLOUR LOSS AT ALL. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR BENDS

INCREDIBLY THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS I BELIEVE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY SPECK OF WEAR

THE TOP  AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURED SURFACE THERE, AND NOT ONE JOT OF RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR APART FROM A TINY SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE BLACK SURFACE IS THERE, WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE BOTTOM TIP.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND TOTALLY AS NEW. NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG EITHER EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE  IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, WITH JUST ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE. AGAIN NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION . PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. NO MARKS OR STAINS ETC

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