THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LABELS ARE  IN MINT MINUS CONDITION, WITH JUST ONE MINUTE SPIDER LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE IT IS CLEAR THAT IT WAS ONLY EVER PLAYED JUST THE ONCE, AND WHEN YOU HEAR IT YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY.  ALL THE TYPEFACE IS 100% LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED AND THE SILVER LOGO AREAS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS JUST A SLIVER OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE OUTER RIM OF SIDE TWO

THE VINYL

YOU JUST WILL NOT FIND A SHINIER EXAMPLE THAN THIS EVER. THE FACT THAT IT HASN'T BEEN PLAYED AND HAS JUST SAT IN A COLLECTION FOR ALL THESE YEARS HAS ENSURED THAT THE VINYL IS JUST IN MINT CONDITION. I CANNOT SAY MUCH MORE THAN THAT BUT IT IS JUST IMMACULATE

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 SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING PLACING A BID ON

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AT ALL ANYWHERE, MEANING THE ONE PLAY THAT IT RECIEVED WAS COMPLETED ON A GOOD DECK WITH AN UNWORN STYLUS. 

THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS MAGNIFICENT. CLEAR AS A BELL, EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS PRODUCED TO BE HEARD.

SO NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO STATIC EITHER AND I HEARD JUST ONE MINUSCULE LITTLE DUST POP DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

SO PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM FROM 1966 (52 YEARS OLD) AND MARVEL AT THE STUNNING SOUND QUALITY

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT

PLEASE JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR E.J.DAY SLEEVE

THE SLEEVE ALMOST MIRRORS THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION OF THE VINYL. BUT THIS IS A REALLY DIFFICULT SLEEVE TO GET IN MINT CONDITON BECAUSE OF HOW THIN THE CARD IS. MOST COPIES HAVE SEVERE CREASES TO THE LAMINATE, AND LOOK AWFUL.

WHAT WE HAVE HERE HOWEVER IS A SLEEVE THAT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS CHIPPING TO THE LEFT EDGE, BUT IN FACT IT IS THE UNDERCARD SHOWING WHERE THE LAMINATE EDGE HADN'T ADHERED PROPERLY BEFORE PACKING

THE LAMINATE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. IT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR 

THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, PLUS THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. SIX REALLY TINY ONES ON THE TOP EDGE AND FOUR EQUALLY SMALL ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE UNWORN, WITH PRISTINE UNMARKED LAMINATE COVERING THE WAFER THIS SURFACES. THERE IS JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END.

THE NON LAMINATED SPINE IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION. USUALLY ON THIS SLEEVE THE TYPEFACE HAS WORN AWAY BUT THIS COPY SHOWS JUST THE TINIEST TRACE OF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LETTERS ARE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS PRISTINE, NO MARKS OR WRITING AND NO AGEING, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL NO RINGWEAR!!!

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN SPLIT FREE CONDITION, WITH SOME NATURAL AGEING TO THE EDGES AND  A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINES

THIS SLEEVE IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING IT MINT MINUS

A WORD ON POSTAL CHARGES. I AM HAPPY TO CONFORM WITH EBAYS NEW FREE POSTAGE (WITHIN THE UK) POLICY, HOWEVER I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THE NICETIES THAT I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.

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