THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER  LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE UNRUBBED

THERE ARE 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS CLASSIC ALBUM HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE.

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 COUPLE OF TIMES.

THE VINYL IS MARK FREE AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN

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 WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE 3RD TRACK 'FLUFF' AS THIS IS THE QUIETEST TRACK AND USUALLY SOUNDS AWFUL DUE TO BACKGROUND CRACKLING ALL THE WAY THOUGH. HERE HOWEVER THERE IS JUST THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BRILLIANT WITH NOTES AND VOCALS CRISPLY AND CLEARLY HEARD.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND ONLY THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO THE RECORD AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

VERY HARD TO FIND IN TOP CONDITION DUE TO THE DUSTY BLACK SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY BADLY WORN AND RUBBED, AND A VERY DIRTY REAR SURFACE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, BENDS OR FOLDS ANYWHERE.

THE JET BLACK SURFACE IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT WITH JUST A FEW BLUE UNDERSURFACE PIN PRICKS ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A FEW UNDER THE TITLE.

THERE IS NOT ONE SMALL LINE NEAR THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE TOP EDGE IS MINT,WITH THE BLACK EDGE UNRUBBED EVEN AT THE TIPS,  WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE JUST HAS ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. CLEARLY A WELL PROTECTED SLEEVE

THE SPINE 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND STILL VERY WHITE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND WORN AWAY IS IN PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.

THE OPENING EDGE IS  RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS ONLY MILDLY HANDLED AND THUS THE WHITE SURFACE IS SLIGHTLY TARNISHED,JUST AROUND THE EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION PAIR OF INNER PANELS.

THE ORIGINAL AND OFTEN MISSING LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN , UNSPLIT CONDITION.THERE IS SOME LIGHT HANDLING AND A FEW TINY STAINS AND A LITTLE AGEING TO THE EDGES

I GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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