I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO SOMEONE WHO LOOKED AFTER THEM INCREDIBLY WELL, WHERE THEY WERE PLACED INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES FROM NEW, AND ONLY PLAYED ON A BANG & OLUFSEN HI FI

THIS ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN THE USA IN 1968 BUT DIDN'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY IN THE UK UNTIL 1971, WHERE THIS BECAME THE 1ST UK PRESSING ON THE WAND LABEL (SUBSIDIARY OF THE DECCA LABEL)

THIS ISSUE ALSO CONTAINS TWO EXTRA TRACKS THAT THE 68 US PRESS DID NOT HAVE

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE  LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE DEEP MAROON TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY!! SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE AT ALL

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY VINYL NOISE OR STATIC

NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS, THIS PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN INCREDIBLE MINT  CONDITION

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

INCREDIBLE MINT CONDITION LAMINATED FRONT / UNLAMINATED REAR 'SENOL' SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS PRISTINE AND IMPORTANTLY TOTALLY UNCREASED. THE COLOURED SURFACE OFTEN SUFFERS FROM RUBBING AND RING WEAR, BUT HERE THE COLOURS ARE ALL MAGNIFICENT AND UNRUBBED. THE LAMINATE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT EVERYWHERE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES . ABSOLUTELY ZERO!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE TINY THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ALL PERFECTLY SQUARE AND SHARP

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE MINT HAVING FULL COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER . ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE MINT.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THIS HAS THE TAPERED AND AND THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE THE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE MINT

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A COUPLE OF TINY CREASE LINES IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND A TINY SPECK OF MISSING COLOUR JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE IN THE MIDDLE

THE BLUE AND WHITE POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOP UNSPLIT CONDITION, AND ONLY HAS ONE CORNER CREASE. IT IS ALSO THE CORRECT INNER FOR THIS ALBUM HAVING THE DATE 10-71 IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER WHICH IS JUST PRIOR TO THE UK RELEASE DATE
