THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE TAN BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE ARE  ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THE LIMITED PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED IN 45 YEARS. THERE IS ALSO RESIDUAL VINYL ATTACHED TO THE HOLE ON SID ETWO

THE VINYL

STUNNING LOOKING DISC WHICH IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT

WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT STILL LOOKS IMMACULATE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE TINY WISPY HAIRLINES

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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. 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

FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS ITS THE VINYL. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING EXTRA SPECIAL

THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY NOTE IS LOUD, CLEAN AND CRISP, JUST HOW IT WAS INTENDED TO BE HEARD.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, TRUE FIRST PRESS AUDIO QUALITY AND IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, NO CLICKS, NO POPS, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

PERHAPS A SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES

NO DUST POPS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO QUALITY

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

 NON LAMINATED ROBOR GATEFOLD SLEEVE

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THE TCOLOURED SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE. NO MARKS, NO SIGNS OF ANY BENDS OR CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO WHITE AREAS, NO RUBBING OTHER THAN A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING IN THE DARKER BROWN AREA.

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE ARE TWO THUMB PRESSURE MARKS ON THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH NEAR PRISTINE. THREE OF THE FOUR SURFACES ARE FULLY COLOURED AND THERE ARE NO WHITE FLECKS OR SCUFFS ALONG ANY OF THEM. THE BOTTOM FRONT EDGE HAS A LITTLE LIGHT RUB.

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE ORIGINAL WHITE COLOUR HAS AGED, BUT THE TYPEFACE IS STILL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LITTLE HANDLING / AGEING TO THE WHITE SURFACE AT THE EDGES

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP 

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECTLY CLEAN AND UNRUBBED INNER SURFACE. TWO PRISTINE WHITE PANELS

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SURFACES, AND NO CREASES. A VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE.

THIS REMARKABLE SLEEVE IS IN MY OPINION GRADES NEAR MINT

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