THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE PASTEL MAGENTA LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THESE LABELS SHOW SPINDLE MARKS LIKE VIRTUALLY NO OTHER LABEL, AND THERE ARE ABOUT 3-4 TINY ONES SEEN .THE BLACK AREA AND TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED ON BOTH SIDES, AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS TYPICAL HEAVYWEIGHT ORIGINAL PYE VINYL, AND LOOKS REALLY SHINY AND CLEAN. IT GLEAMS LIKE A NEW DISC. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE DULL STREAKY LINES IN DAYLIGHT, AND THESE ARE SUPERFICIAL AND  NON SOUNDING, WHILST UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME VERY FEINT WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME SLEEVE REMOVAL 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 NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS OUT THERE WILL WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING OUT MONEY ON. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION OF THIS RECORDING IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THE MIX IS VERY LOUD INDEED

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE RECORDING, MEANING THAT THE PLAY THAT THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF HEAVY OR LOUD BACKGROUND CRACKLE, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

NO LOUD CLICKS, AND NO BIG POPS. ALL YOU WILL HEAR THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH ARE A FEW TINY STATIC TICS

FOR ME THIS  RARE VINYL PLAYTHROUGH GRADES NEAR MINT

YOU SHOULD TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED FRONT AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACED SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS REMAINED FLAT AND IS FREE FROM ANY  CREASING. IN FACT THERE ARE NO CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER. EVEN THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST ONE TINY ONE, AND JUST TWO ON THE TOP EDGE AND THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THREE SMALL THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

A GLEAMING POLISHED MIRROR LIKE LAMINATED SURFACE  

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH ALL THE WAY ACROSS. THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END HAS A TINY SPECK OF RUB

THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT . TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION

THE REAR SURFACE  HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS, WITH NO DAMAGE TO ANY OF THEM.

THE GREY WHITE UNLAMINATED SURFACE IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION. STILL TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND PERFECT TEXT. THERE IS VERY LIGHT HANDLING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES. THE SLEEVE IS A MONO SLEEVE AS INDICATED BY THE NPL NUMBER AT THE TOP. THERE IS ALSO A LIGHT STICKER RESIDUE TO THE LEFT OF THE NUMBER WHERE THE CORRECT STEREO CATALOGUE NUMBER ONCE STOOD. SOMEONE OBVIOUSLY DECIDED TO REMOVE IT

THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCELLENT UNSPLIT CONDITION. A FEW LIGHT WRINKLES AND A TINY SPECK OF GLUE AGEING, BUT IN SUPERB CONDITION ALL ROUND

I AM DELIGHTED TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE AS NEAR MINT

IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD

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