THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LIBERTY  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 IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON DISC ONE, AND NONE AT ALL ON DISC TWO 

THE VINYL

THE RECORDS GLEAM 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 DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE

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 SET PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL 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 IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT .

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF VINYL NOISE OR STATIC ANYWHERE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE TOTALLY SILENT.THE ONLY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND OCCURS RIGHT IN THE RUN IN TO SIDE THREE AND ONLY LAST  A FEW ROTATIONS, AND SIMILARLY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FINAL TRACK WHERE THERE ARE  SOME LIGHT ROTATIONAL RANDOM TICS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

OTHER THAN WHAT I HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED I HEARD PERHAPS FOUR TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE NEAR MINT STANDARD. IT OUGHT TO BE MINT, BUT THE TWO SMALL AREAS OF NOISE (WHICH CAN'T BE SEEN AT ALL) ENSURE A SLIGHTLY LOWER GRADE

STILL AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED TEXTURED E.J.DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE TEXTURED COLOURED SURFACE IS FANTASTIC. INCREDIBLY ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE REMAINED COMPLETELY INTACT AND UNRUBBED

THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS AT SOME POINT SUFFERED A BEND AND THERE IS A CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE LEFT CORNER. THERE IS ALSO A FAR LIGHTER ONE CLOSE TO THE RIGHT CORNER

THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE THOUGH

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER

THE ORIGINAL SPECIAL PRICE STICKER IS FIRMLY AFFIXED TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE JUST LIGHT TRACES OF EXTREMELY MILD SHELF WEAR IN THE FORM OF SOME WHITE SPECKS SHOWING THROUGH

THE SPINE  IS STILL FAIRLY FLAT DESPITE THE CREASE AT THE BOTTOM. IT DOES FLATTEN OUT A LITTLE TOWARD'S THE BOTTOM, AND THE VERY BOTTOM TIP END IS LIGHTLY RUBBED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE HOWEVER IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE

THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM SET HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK ON THE VERY BACK EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT. HAS THE CORNER CREASE, BUT ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECT PAIR OF INNER PANELS. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE, JUST THE LIGHT EVIDENCE OF THE OUTER CREASED CORNERS PEEKING THROUGH A LITTLE

THE TWO PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVES ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. UNSPLIT, UNCREASED AND STILL VERY WHITE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

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