THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK ORANGE FIRST PRESS LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE RED FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON EITHER SIDE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION.THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING THE VINYL HAS JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS. SIDE TWO DOES HAVE A LIGHT CLOUDING PATTERN OVER A THIRD OF THE VINYL. IT IS TOTALLY NON SOUNDING AND PRESUMABLY AS A RESULT OF SITTING UNPLAYED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 40 ODD YEARS. THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC JUST BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE MINT. I DO GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS QUITE MAGNIFICENT
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS IS AN EXTRA SPECIAL COPY OF THIS 1969 ALBUM AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING IT MINT MINUS
IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO IT IN FULL AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
MACNEIL GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS 99% OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR INTACT. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THIN WHITE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ON THE LEFT SIDE WHICH IS THE ONLY COLOUR IMPERFECTION
THERE ARE FOUR LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, THREE OF WHICH ARE CLUSTERED TOGETHER TOWARDS THE TOP. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ON THIS SLEEVE ARE JUST PLAIN CARD DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE SLEEVE, AND THEY ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION WITH JUST A SPECK OF BURRING HERE AND THERE
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS. IT CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND JUST A COUPLE OF VERY THIN LINES NEAR THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. A TINY DING TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP AT THE BOTTOM AND A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, AND UNCREASED WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLE LINES
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
