I WILL BE LISTING THESE OVER THE COMING DAYS

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE FAWN COLOURED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE  BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A COUPLE OF 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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, 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 ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THERE IS THE BAREST SEMI SECOND OF STATIC HEARD ONLY VERY OCCASIONALLY, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE MINUSCULE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST THE STANDARDS YOU PERSONALLY SET

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT  !!!! STANDARD.

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED JAMES UPTON SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS FULL COLOUR AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE AT ALL. NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES

THERE ARE SIX REALLY TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL WHITE SPECKS VISIBLE AND A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE DOES HAVE SOME SHELF WEAR AND A LOT OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RUBBED AWAY

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE BASE COLOUR HAS AGED LIGHTLY AND THERE ARE A THREE OF FOUR SMALL NICKS TO THE TOP LEADING EDGE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, WITH ONE THUMB NAIL NICK TO THE FRONT AND REAR EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN NEAR  PRISTINE LIKE THE FRONT. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RETAINED AND LIKE THE FRONT THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE. THERE IS ONE VERY LIGHT LINE THAT RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM NEAR THE SPINE WHICH MUST HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE FACTORY.

THE LARGE INSERT SHEET HAS THE LYRICS ON ONE SIDE AND A PICTURE ON THE OTHER SIDE. THERE IS ONE TINY TEAR TO ONE EDGE

THE POLY LINED INNER IS IN FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT. IT HAS HOWEVER BROWNED WITH AGE AROUND THE EDGES WHERE IT HAS JUST SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 40 YEARS OR SO 

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!!

IF YOU WIN AN LP AUCTION OF MINE THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL GET IN TERMS OF PACKING AND DELIVERY.

I TREAT EVERY ALBUM WITH THE RESPECT IT DESERVES. THE FIRST THING IS THAT I REMOVE THE LP FROM THE SLEEVE AND PLACE IT INTO A BRAND NEW POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE TO PROTECT NOT ONLY THE LP BUT THE SLEEVE AS WELL. THE LP IS PLACED BEHIND THE SLEEVE AND THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE LOCATED BACK INSIDE THE SLEEVE.

THE ALBUM IS PLACED INSIDE A BRAND NEW THICK PVC OUTER SLEEVE. NOT SOME FLIMSY POLY THING, A PROPER COLLECTORS PVC SLEEVE.

I USE THE TOUGHEST CRUCIFORM BOXES TO PLACE THE LP INTO AND INCLUDE ONE VERY HEAVY DUTY STIFFENER INSIDE THE BOX AS WELL. THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL STIFFENERS PLACED ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK SURFACES OR AS MANY AS NEEDED TO ENSURE THE CORNERS CANNOT GET DAMAGED OR THE BOX BENT.

FINALLY THE LP IS SENT EITHER SIGNED FOR, TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR DEPENDING ON WHICH SERVICE IS AVAILABLE FOR EACH COUNTRY.

FINALLY THE TRACKING NUMBER IS UPDATED ON EBAY UPON MY RETURN FROM THE POST OFFICE

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