THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
SUPERB MINT CONDITION ORANGE CBS LABELS. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES, AND IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THIS HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED BEFORE TODAY
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL IS IMMACULATE. LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED 37 YEARS AGO. IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SEE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. BUT THIS IS A SUPERB DISC IN EVERY WAY
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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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.
THIS VINYL PLAYS INCREDIBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR VINYL NOISE, AND I CAN'T EVEN SAY I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
A CRSIP CLEAR AND CLEAN STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS JUST SUPERB
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SHOREWOOD SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR SCRATCHES. AMAZINGLY THERE IS A NO TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE,WHICH USUALLY BLIGHTS THIS SLEEVE, APART FROM A SLIGHT SHADOW ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
THERE IS ONE TINY MARK JUST NEAR THE SPINE
THERE ARE NONE OF THE USUAL TINY LINES THAT FORM ALONG THE PERIMETER EDGES WHICH IS ALSO VERY UNUSUAL. THERE IS ONE VERY LIGHT LINE RUNNING FROM THE TOP EDGE TO THE STICKER
THE STICKER WAS PLACED ON THE ORIGINAL ISSUES OF THIS ALBUM AND DENOTES THE 2 SINGLES RELEASED FROM THE ALBUM
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, APART FROM ONE TINY SLIVER IN ONE SMALL SPOT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT, RAZOR SHARP
THE SPINE IS ALSO PRISTINE. NO RUBBING AT THE TIPS, EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO SQUASHING AT ALL AT ANY POINT ON THE SPINE
THE REAR SURFACE IS PRISTINE AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY RECORD SHAPE OR ANY LINES AT ALL
THE ONE SHEET LYRIC INSERT IS FLAT AND UNCREASED. AND IN MINT CONDITION
THE DIE CUT PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE HAS THE CORRECT PATENT NUMBER 1,125,555 IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND ' MADE IN ENGLAND' IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
