THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITEBAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.  THERE IS JUST ONE MINISCULE SPIDER LINE BY EACH HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS VINYL IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL  IS AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS YOU COULD WANT IN DAYLIGHT.EVEN WHEN PUT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A VERY FAINT TRACE OF WHERE THE LP HAS REMAINED IN THE INNER BAG FOR ALL THESE YEARS, AND A FEW 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 JUST KNOW THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTOTION ANYWHERE, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS ALL THE WAY. JUST CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC OR VINYL NOISE

I HEARD A FEW LITTLE POPS AND TICS HERE AND THERE, BUT NOTHING TO MAR THE OUTSTANDING REPRODUCTION OF THIS ALBUM, AND BEAR IN MIND THAT THERE ARE MANY MANY SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES ON THIS DISC

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED AND LIGHTLY TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN A REAL COLLECTIBLE CONDITION BECAUSE THE BROWN SURFACE IS SO EASILY WORN THROUGH, AND MOST COPIES LOOK TERRIBLE

THIS COPY HOWEVER IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND MARK FREE APART FROM ONE VERY LIGHT STCIKER RESIDUE MARK IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THIS FROM THE PICTURES OF THE SPINE.

ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND THE CORNERS ARE REALLY SQUARE

AND TO CAP IT ALL, THERE ARE NONE OF THE TINY LINES THAT USUALLY GATHER NEAR THE SPINE

THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE, AND 99% OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE FLECKS HERE AND THERE

.

THE OPENING EDGE BY CONTRAST IS  ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP, AND THIS IN ITSELF TELLS A STORY. IT IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT THE VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE IN ITS 40 YEARS.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN MAGNIFICENT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE. NO RUBBING, OR RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND AGAIN NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER

A SUBLIME EXAMPLE, AND OPENING THE GATEFOLD ONLY ENHANCES THE STANDARD OF THIS SLEEVE AS BOTH INNER PANELS ARE TOTALLY MINT!!

THE  ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. IT IS UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT, ANOTHER SIGN THAT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN OUT SIDE OF THE SLEEVE. JUST A TRACE OF GLUE AGING TO THE  BOTTOM EDGE. IT IS CORRECTLY MATCHED WITH THIS SLEEVE AND HAS THE 0371 IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, MEANING MARCH 1971

THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT WITH EASE

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