THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED EMI LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE IS NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ONLY. CLEARLY THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER HAD THE ONE PLAY.

THE VINYL

INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL, BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM AN UNPLAYED ALBUM?

THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES THAT HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE PERFORMANCE WHATSOEVER, AND A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES

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 FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. .

EVERY NOTE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS ALBUM CAN BE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED. THIS IS AN IMMACULATE FIRST PRESS AUDIO PERFORMANCE

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE ONE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS

NO STATIC AT ANY POINT AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!

IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.

USUALLY THIS SLEEVE IS FOUND WITH THE COLOURS RUBBED, AND HEAVY RINGWEAR, AND IN ADDITION MAJOR CREASES.

THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION!!!

THE DELICATE GREY COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE ARE NO  HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE. JUST ONE TINY LITTLE DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LITTLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND ONE REALLY SMALL THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RINGWEAR AT ALL EITHER, AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WHICH AGAIN USUALLY SUFFER TERRIBLY FROM SHELFWEAR, ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF WEAR AT ALL, APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP WHICH IS EVER SO LIGHTLY RUBBED, AND A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING FURTHER ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LIGHT RED COLOUR IS THERE AND EVEN AS FAR DOWN AS THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS WHICH ARE PRISTINE AS WELL. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS WITHOUT QUESTION AS SHARP AS YOU COULD EVER WISH TO HAVE A COPY. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SPECIAL AS THE FRONT. THIS ONE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. THERE IS ONE VERY LIGHT AND TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE, AND THAT'S ALL

THE ORIGINAL RED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY UNSPLIT AND BARELY A CREASE LINE ANYWHERE. JUST ONE TINY ONE ON THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE THUMB NOTCH SIDE AND ONE JUST AFTER THE  WORD 'THE ' OF THE ALBUM TITLE. ALL FOUR ROUNDED CORNERS ARE MINT AS S THE THUMB NOTCH

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  MINT MINUS!!!!!

AN ABSOLUTE VAULT COPY OF THIS SUPERB QUEEN ALBUM

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