THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW STONES LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE SPIDERS LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE DULLISH STREAKS ON EACH SIDE
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 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 FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH.
THIS DISC PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH.THERE ARE FIVE TINY ROTATIONAL TICS JUST AS TRACK 2 SIDE ONE FINISHES
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO VINYL NOISE EITHER
THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS AND A FEW TINY LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC NEAR MINT!!
!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL HEAVY CARDED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE , AND INCREDIBLY NOT EVEN ANY OF THE TINY ONES THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY EXPECT TO SEE NEAR THE SPINE.NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ARE IMMACULATE
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND AGAIN FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE TO EITHER FRONT OR REAR SURFACE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICK TO SHOW WHERE THE LP WAS REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS.
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE HAS BEEN INSIDE THE SLEEVE SINCE 1972 IN A SLIGHTLY CREASED POSITION AND AS SUCH HAS ONE CORNER WITH A HEAVY CREASE. OTHER THAN THIS IS IS WHITE AND UNSPLIT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
