THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THE ONLY THING VISIBLE IS TWO TINY 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 BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF ODD SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND AT THE START OF EACH SIDE FOR A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS, AND TWO TINY INSIGNIFICANT DUST POPS IN TOTAL

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST THE STANDARDS YOU PERSONALLY SET

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT !!!! STANDARD.

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE !!!! THE ORANGE SURFACE HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED FOR 44 YEARS AND THE COVER HAS NO BENDS OR FOLDS. THERE ARE TWO PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SOWING THROUGH THE ORANGE BASE COLOUR. THERE IS THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE IF YOU ANGLE THE COVER INTO THE LIGHT. there is very light signs of handling to the edges

THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER. AND JUST TWO TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, WHICH EXTENDS ACROSS PART OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE ORANGE SURFACE PRESENT WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VERY SIMILAR WITH  THE TWO CORNERS SHOWING LIGHT RUBBING AND A FEW TINY WHITE SPECKS ALONG THE SURFACE

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE ORANGE SURFACE HAS A SMALL BIT OF RUBBING JUST BELOW HALF WAY AND THE BOTTOM TIP HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUB. THE TOP TIP JUST A PIN PRICK ON THE TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK VISIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN  NEAR PRISTINE LIKE THE FRONT. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RETAINED AND LIKE THE FRONT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO DEEP CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, JUST THREE ON THE SPINE ONLY. .

THE POLY LINED INNER IS IN FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT. IT HAS HOWEVER BROWNED WITH AGE AROUND THE EDGES WHERE IT HAS JUST SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 45 YEARS OR SO. THE TOP LEFT CORNER HAS A CREASE. THE DATE 1170 (NOVEMBER 1970) IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER 

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!!

IF YOU WIN AN LP AUCTION OF MINE THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL GET IN TERMS OF PACKING AND DELIVERY.

I TREAT EVERY ALBUM WITH THE RESPECT IT DESERVES. THE FIRST THING IS THAT I REMOVE THE LP FROM THE SLEEVE AND PLACE IT INTO A BRAND NEW POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE TO PROTECT NOT ONLY THE LP BUT THE SLEEVE AS WELL. THE LP IS PLACED BEHIND THE SLEEVE AND THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE LOCATED BACK INSIDE THE SLEEVE.

THE ALBUM IS PLACED INSIDE A BRAND NEW THICK PVC OUTER SLEEVE. NOT SOME FLIMSY POLY THING, A PROPER COLLECTORS PVC SLEEVE.

I USE THE TOUGHEST CRUCIFORM BOXES TO PLACE THE LP INTO AND INCLUDE ONE VERY HEAVY DUTY STIFFENER INSIDE THE BOX AS WELL. THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL STIFFENERS PLACED ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK SURFACES OR AS MANY AS NEEDED TO ENSURE THE CORNERS CANNOT GET DAMAGED OR THE BOX BENT.

FINALLY THE LP IS SENT EITHER SIGNED FOR, TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR DEPENDING ON WHICH SERVICE IS AVAILABLE FOR EACH COUNTRY.

FINALLY THE TRACKING NUMBER IS UPDATED ON EBAY UPON MY RETURN FROM THE POST OFFICE

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