• MATRIX: ZAL-1250P-5W / ZAL-1251P-3W
• MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 2D UU / 1 CI

THIS COPY HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE SLEEVE. THERE IS AN INHERENT FLAW WITH THE VAGABONDS SLEEVE IN THAT NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO PROTECT THE SLEEVE THE TOP BLACK SECTION OF THE REAR SURFACE ALWAYS HAS SOME FORM OR RING WEAR, WHERE THE JET BLACK SURFACE IS WORN THROUGH

THIS COPY HOWEVER IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE AND THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH. A RARE FIND INDEED!!!!

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW 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, AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON, AND IT'S 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 LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS NEVER PLAYED WITH A STYLUS WORN OR TOO HEAVY EITHER

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS SOME VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IN THE QUIETEST PASSAGES AND ONLY BECAUSE I SIT NO MORE THAN 18 INCHES FROM MY SPEAKERS AS I TYPE THIS OUT

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 4 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

AN OUTSTANDING 1ST PRESS, IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE ORIGINAL SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL.

THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN NEAR INVISIBLE LITTLE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE LARGE OR DEEP ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY WHITE LINES THOUGH. THERE ARE ALSO A COUPLE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE LIGHT LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP WHICH HAS RUBBED EVER SO SLIGHTLY

THE SPINE HAS A FEW TINY FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES, BUT IMPORTANTLY THE COLOURS ARE ALL UNRUBBED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE WHICH AS I STATED AT THE VERY TOP OF THE LISTING IS VERY RARE TO FIND. IT IS JUST PRISTINE IN THAT AREA, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST COPY I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF EVEN A PIN PRICK OF THE BLACK SURFACE.

JUST THOSE FEW TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE LIKE ON THE FRONT

THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION

THE RARE INSERT SHEET IS IN  NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST TWO TINY MOTTLES ON THE LYRIC SIDE

I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!

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