THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS AND FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL LOOKS A LITTLE PECULIAR UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION. THERE ARE WHAT APPEARS TO BE DARK STREAKS EMBEDDED INTO THE SURFACE. THEY ARE CERTAINLY NOT MAN MAD BUT RATHER FACTORY PRESSED. IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE NOT VISIBLE. OTHER THAN THAT THERE ARE JUST A FEW 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 PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE OCCASIONAL BIT OF VERY LIGHT STATIC HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A LITTLE ON THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE TWO

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH AND THAT IS ON THE FADE OUT TO THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE TWO

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS !!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE PRISTINE AND THERE IS NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR TO THIS SURFACE WHATSOEVER

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEXT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND NONE EITHER ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. ONE MINUSCULE DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TOP TIP, WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS  TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE TAN COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT. IN ABSOLUTELY TOP CONDITION

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET HAS A FEW LIGHT BROWN STAINS AT THE BOTTOM OF ONE SIDE AND A TINY NICK TO ONE EDGE, PLUS SOME LIGHT WRINKLING TO ONE CORNER

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT BUT DOES HAVE SOME GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES

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