THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK & SILVER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE BLACK BASE FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE,THERE ARE 3-4 VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE ONE, AND NONE ON SIDE 2.
THE VINYL
ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THE VINYL DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT AND 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 CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THIS WELSH TRIO PRODUCED SOME OF THE BEST HEAVY METAL OF THE EARLY SEVENTIES, INTERMINGLED WITH BEAUTIFUL AND GENTLE SLOWER TRACKS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I URGE YOU TO LISTEN TO THE SUPERB YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU' WHICH IS THE QUIETEST TRACK AND WILL DEMONSTRATE WHY THIS VINYL PERFORMS SO WELL
THE SOUND GENERATED IS UNDISTORTED IN ANY WAY, AND THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR LOUD CLICKING, JUST THE OCCASIONAL VERY MILD TRACE OF THE LIGHTEST STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE, AND A COUPLE OF TINY TICS HERE AND THERE.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS / NEAR MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VIRTUALLY SPOTLESS WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY PRESERVED. NO RUBBING AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THERE IS ONE TINY WHITE PATCH ON THE TOP EDGE, AND AN EVEN SMALLER ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE.
NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES, JUST THREE NEAR INVISIBLE TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND A MINUSCULE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
APART FROM THE TWO WHITE PATCHES ALREADY STATED, THE BOTTOM AND TOP EDGES ARE IN UNRUBBED CONDITION
THE SPINE IS AS GOOD AS I HAVE SEEN ON THIS ALBUM,FLAT WITH JUST A FEW TINY DIMPLES HERE AND THERE. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS ARE RETAINED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TINIEST TIP OF RUB AT THE VERY BOTTOM
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IMMACULATE AND I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. PERFECT!!1
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN AN UNSPLIT, LIGHTLY CREASED CONDITION, AND HAS THE CORRECT 7-73 IN THE CORNER (JULY 1973)
HAPPY TO GRADE THE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
