THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABEL ON SIDE A IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS. THE DARK GREEN WB LABEL ON SIDE 2 IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, SHOWING NO RUBBING OR FADING OF THE COLOURS EITHER. THE GREEN SURFACE IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE ARE 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A FEW TIMES. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES THAT CAN BEE SEEN AT CERTAIN ANGLES AND SOME WISPY LINES WHEN PLACED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION

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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS  FROM THIS  ALBUM,  I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. THERE IS SOME VERY RANDOM AND BARELY AUDIBLE LIGHT BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE VERY QUIETEST SPOTS, THE CLARITY AND CRISPNESS OF THE RECORDING IS THERE TO BE HEARD, SO TAKE A LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE FACT IS THAT IT IS MADE OF A REALLY POROUS CARD WITH A LIGHTLY TEXTURED SURFACE, UNLAMINATED AND TOTALLY WHITE, WHICH MEANS THAT UNLESS PROPERLY PROTECTED THE WHITE SURFACE IS SUBJECTED TO GENERAL HANDLING AND WEAR, AND ALSO STAINING.

THIS ONE HOWEVER HAS BEEN PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER, WHICH MEANS IT LOOKS FANTASTIC.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL PURE WHITE VIRTUALLY ALL OVER WITH THE ONLY MINISCULE SIGNS OF HANDLING BEING ON THE VERY OUTER EDGES. THERE IS NO BENDING OR CREASING ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE, AND ALL OF THE EXPOSED EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP.

THE SLEEVE HAS A UNIQUE FEATURE IN THAT THE FACE ON THE FRONT CAN BE ANIMATED BY PUSHING DOWN ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE SLEEVE, WHICH IN ITSELF IS FINE, BUT WITH CONSTANT USUAGE THIS EDGE WEARS BADLY AND THE FACE WORKINGS SOME TIMES DO NOT. HERE WE HAVE AN ABSOLOUETLY PRISTINE WORKING FACE AND MECHANISM. THE TOP EDGE WHICH IS ALSO WHERE THE ALBUM IS PLACED INTO THE SLEEVE IS IN THE BEST CONDITION IMAGINABLE. THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR TO IT OT ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES.

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS WHITE AND PRISTINE AS THE FRONT, AGAIN WITH PERFECT EDGES. THE REAR SURFACE ASLO OPENS UP TO REVEAL THE CAN CAN IMAGE INSIDE, AND ONCE AGAIN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROPERLY PROTECTED IS IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION.

THE RARE POSTER INSERT IS MADE OF A VERY THIN PAPER, AND THIS ONE STILL HASE RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINES, IS VERY WHITE, AND UNCREASED, AND HAS NOT BEEN PLACED ON ANY WALL

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

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