THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND IT IS POSSIBLE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL AS WELL, THAT MY TEST PLAY TODAY MAY WELL HAVE BEEN THE FIRST PLAY.

THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH I COULD FEL AS I GENTLY PLACED THE LP OVER MY SPINDLE

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THIS VINYL, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPS

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 AM DOING 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

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRSIPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, AND THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES ARE EXACTLY SILENT

AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION AND PLAYS LIKE NEW,

ALL I HEARD WAS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC AND THAT IS ALL

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN, AND SURPRISINGLY NONE OF THE POWDERY COLOURED SURFACE HAS BEEN LOST THROUGH RUBBING AND SHELF WEAR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, IN FACT THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, THERE IS NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR

THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS VERY MARGINAL SHELF RUBBING

THE SPINE IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY THAT MOST ARE RUBBED SO BADLY THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE TYPEFACE.THIS IS THE BEST AND MOST PRISTINE EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN.

THIS SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE. THE TWO TAPERED ANDS ARE UNDAMAGED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FRAGILE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT, HOWEVER IT DOES APPEAR TO HAVE AMNUFACTURING FAULT. LOOKING AT IT IT APPEARS THAT A LIQUID HAS BEEN LEFT TO RUN DOWN THE SURFACE LEAVING A DRIZZLE PATCH, BUT IN FACT THE SLEEVE IS PERFECTLY SMOOTH, AND WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO IT HAPPENED BEFORE IT WAS COATED. MOST UNUSUAL AND VERY UNIQUE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN A VERY TIDY, UNSPLIT CONDITION, JUST A LITTLE BROWNED AROUND THE EDGES

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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

GARRY
