THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE SLIGHTLY ROUGH TEXTURED MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.

THE SILVER LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY AIS IN PERFECT CONDITION ON BOTH DISCS, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE ARE TWO TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE ON TWO OF THE SIDES AND JUST ONE ON THE OTHER TWO, TO SHOW THAT THE LP SET HAS BEEN CAREFULLY HANDLED AND PLAYED

THE VINYL

I AM STAGGERED BY THE BRILLIANCE OF BOTH OF THESE DISCS. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD COME ACCROSS A COPY OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM THAT HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED, BUT THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS

 BOTH DISCS GLEAM LIKE NEW, AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER ALBUM, AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE.  THIS IS THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER LAID MY EYES ON

THE COMPLETE TEST PLAY

THE RECORDS ARE LAID OUT LIKE THIS. DISC ONE HAS SIDES A & D, WHILST DISC TWO HAS SIDES B & C

I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I WAS BY FINDING AND THEN HEARING THIS BARELY PLAYED LP SET.

 .THE WHOLE THING PLAYS TO A MAGNIFICENT STANDARD. WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION, AND A SUPERB STEREO PERFORMANCE. 

THERE ARE NO CLICKS OR CRACKLES, AND EVERY BIT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SILENT IS SILENT. 

THE CLARITY IS THERE FOR YOU TO HEAR BUT IS IS BRILLIANT AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

NO DISTORTION TO THE SPOUND AT ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES

NO CLICKS, TICS OR POPS

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

A TRULY AMAZING AUDIO EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH AND ONE FOR THE SUPREME COLLECTORS OUT THERE

I HAVE NO HESITATION WHATSOEVER IN GRADING THIS BOTH VISUALLY AND AURALLY AS MINT

THE SLEEVE

I HAVE HAD MANY COPIES OF THIS ALBUM PASS THROUGH MY HANDS, BUT THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT QUESTION IS THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN OR TOUCHED. TO FIND A HALF DECENT SLEEVE IS RARE, BUT TO FIND ONE THAT HAS BEEN PRESERVED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW IS JUST INCREDIBLE. ADDED TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS WIDESPINE  THE SLEEVE IS A GENUINE E.J DAY FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE.

IT HAS THE 2657001 CATALOGUE NUMBER ON A STICKER OVERLAYING THE 613008 NUMBER AT THE FOOT OF THE INNER PANEL

THE SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS BADLY FROM CREASING AND RING WEAR, BUT THIS COPY JUST BEGGARS BELIEF

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND JUST GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO BENDS OR DINGS ON THE CORNERS, AND ABSOLOUTELY NO RING WEAR OR EVEN MILD RECORD SHAPE. 

AMAZINGLY THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY OF THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY FIND NEAR THE SPINE. JUST ONE MINUSCULE ONE ON EACH OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND THIS IS DUE TO THE SLEEVE RESIDING INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SINCE NEW. ALL EIGHT CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE, JUST A PERFECTLY FLAT SPINE WITH THE CONTINUATION OF THE NUDE LADY SCENE CLEARLY DEPICTED . NO BLEMISHES WHATSOEVER, AND THE ENDS ARE ALSO PERFECT

THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE AS SHARP AS THEY POSSIBLE COULD BE, AND THIS IS CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THE LP'S HAVE REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE. JUST A FEW MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME REMARKABLE CONDITION AS THE FRONT, THERE ARE TWO THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE AND A TINY SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT AT THE TOP OF THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A FULLY LAMINATED AND GLOSSY PAIR OF PANELS WHICH ARE AS IMMACULATE AS THE REST OF THIS SLEEVE.

THE TWO POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES ARE FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAVE NO CREASE LINES ON THEM. NO AGEING WHATSOEVER

 THIS SLEEVE IS EXTRAORINARILY SPECIAL AND FULLY JUSTIFIES A MINT MINUS GRADING

THIS COPY WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD

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