THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LIBERTY LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE PASTEL BLUE IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS SHARP AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE WHITE LOGOS ARE PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED. THERE ARE JUST 10 SMALL  SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS HAD LIMITED PLAY IN 41 YEARS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAY LIGHT IT APPEARS ALMOST FLAWLESS WITH ONE TINY HANDLING MARK VISIBLE ACROSS THE FIRST TRACK. AS YOU WILL HEAR WHILST PLAYING IT, THIS LITTLE MARK DOESN'T CAUSE ANY ISSUES WITH THE REPRODUCTION WHATSOEVER. THERE IS ALSO A LIGHT SCUFF MARK ON THE LAST TRACK. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A COUPLE MORE NEAR INVISIBLE FINE LINES AND SOME WISPY HAIRLINES. THIS IS SIDE ONE ONLY, SIDE TWO HAS NO MARKS AND VIRTUALLY NO WISPY HAIRLINES EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION

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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I JUST KNOW 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

A TRUE FIRST PRESS SOUND GENERATED FROM THIS VINYL, AND EVEN IT BEING A LIVE RECORDING DOESN'T DETER FROM THE LOUDNESS OF THE PRODUCTION.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, WHICH INDICATES THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A DECK THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE PLAY, ONLY THE VERY ODD AND RANDOM SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE, ONLY HEARD IN THE MOST SILENT OF PASSAGES

A REAL TEST OF THE QUALITY OF THE VINYL APPEARS ON SIDE ONE DURING THE BASS SOLO WHERE THE MUSIC IS ALMOST SILENT IN PLACES, AND THE VINYL PERFORMS WITHOUT BACKGROUND. ALSO AFTER THE FIRST TRACK THERE IS A COUPLE OF MINUTES OF TALKING AND SILENT PASSAGES AGAIN THE VINYL NOISE IS NONE

THERE ARE SOME RANDOM AND TINY DUST POPS HERE AND THERE PROBABLY NO MORE THAN 2-3 DURING SIDE ONE, WHILST SIDE 2 PLAYS ABSOLUTELY FLALWLESSLY. ALSO A FEW SECONDS OF LIGHT ROTATIONAL VINYL NOISE JUST TOWARDS THE VERY END OF THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE ONE

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE LP AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT ON SIDE ONE AND MINT MINUS ON SIDE 2

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED GATEFOLD BY E.J DAY AND CO LTD

THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR IS IS JUST PRISTINE. IT WAS KEPT FROM NEW IN A PROTECTIVE PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY IT IS IN SUCH MAGNIFICENT CONDITION SOME 42 YEARS ON

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ON THIS ULTRA GLOSSY SURFACE, AND ONLY ONE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. THERE IS ALSO A TINY SPOT OF LAMINATE LIFT NEAR THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS STILL FIRMLY IN PLACE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO PRISTINE. NOT ONE JOT OF SHELF WEAR AT ALL, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY INTACT

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. A WIDE SPINE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY IN PLACE AND NOT ONE JOT OF SHELF WEAR. EVEN THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNWORN. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION WITH THE ONLY TINY FLAW BEING A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE EDGE. NO CREASES OR CREASE OINES ANYWHERE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS POLYLINED INNER AND IS UNSPLIT AND HAS BARELY A WRINKLE ON IT. TINY CHIP TO THE DIE CUT HOLE OF THE REAR SIDE, AND IT'S STILL VERY WHITE 

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS

I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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