IN MAGNIFICENT ONE PLAY  MINT MINUS PLAYTHROUGH CONDITION

OUTSTANDING MINT SLEEVE AND INNER

 

I HAVE AN OUTSTANDING ELTON JOHN COLLECTION TO LIST OVER THE COMING THREE OR FOUR DAYS. THE ORIGINAL OWNER KEPT THEM INSIDE A LOCKED RECORD CASE AND THEREFORE THE SLEEVE HAVE BEEN VIRTUALLY PERFECTLY PRESERVED. THE VINYLS WERE ONLY EVER PLAYED BETWEEN ONE AND THREE TIMES

  • ' TIM TOM' ETCHED INTO DEAD WAX SIDE ONE

 

THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE TAN AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS  DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF 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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

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

THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD ABOUT 3-4 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH 

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

PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, WITH NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE  COLOUR, AND A PERFECT SURFACE THAT HAS SUFFERED NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE.

 

THE ORIGINAL 'SAD SONGS' STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED IN THE TOP RIGHT SECTION

 

THERE ARE ZERO !! LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . THREE MICROSCOPIC ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH MINT. FULLY COLOURED FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNRUBBED

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PRESENT AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PERFECT. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECT AND LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP , SHOWING WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE ALL THESE YEARS

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT THE FRONT,

THE ORIGINAL PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT CONDITION. FLAT AND UNCREASED

THIS IS A REAL RARITY AND A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  MINT!!!!

 

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

GARRY
