THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE BLUE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE WAS VERY TIGHT OVER THE SPINDLE OF MY DECK, AND THERE IS STILL RESIDUAL VINYL SHARDS INSIDE THE HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS VINYL IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS. THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS ORIGINAL VINYL IS SPOTLESS. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER DISC AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY LOOK TO BE TOTALLY MINT, AND FLAWLESS UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND ALSO A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE HANDLING MARKS, PLUS A COUPLE OF DULLISH PATCHES ON THE OUTER RIM

THEY DON'T ANY EFFECT ON THE REPRODUCTION AS YOU WILL HEAR. IT DOESN'T DETRACT FROM THE MINT PLAYBACK ONE IOTA

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 HAVE TAKEN THIS EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT AS I BELIEVE IT'S WHAT EBAYERS WANT FROM SELLERS. IT IS OFTEN SAID AND FAIRLY SO THAT BUYING FROM EBAY CAN BE A TOTAL LOTTERY, AND THAT SELLERS OF LIMITED KNOWLEDGE DESCRIBE LP'S AS MINT AND ARE ACTUALLY ANYTHING BUT. WELL HERE YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE ACTUAL ALBUM YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE.

ISLAND / CHRYSALIS RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR EARLY LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND I HAVE EVEN RECORDED ALL OF THE RUN OUT WAX ON EACH SIDE TO DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW NOISE FREE THIS VINYL REALLY IS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR CLICKS.

THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

THERE WERE IN THE REGION OF 6-7 TINY DUST POPS / TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

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

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SLEEVE THAT HAS DEFIED IT'S YEARS AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID BACK IN 1978 WHEN IT WAS FIRST PRINTED UP

A VERY HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE TOTALLY BLACK SURFACE. MOST ARE RUBBED BADLY AND ANY CREASE LINES USUALLY SHOW THROUGH TERRIBLY

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. NOT ONE CREASE ON IT ANYWHERE, AND NOT ONE OF THOSE TINY LINES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. NOR ARE THERE ANY ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

 IT IS CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW. THE BLACK SURFACE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND APART FROM A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING , IT IS JUST SUBLIME. CLEARLY THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST IMMACULATE AND NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS AS THE BLACK RUNS COMPLETELY FROM TIP TO TIP. ANOTHER SIGN THAT THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM NEW

THE SPINE IS UNWORN AND ALL OF THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE COLOUR ONCE AGAIN IS THERE AND PRISTINE. NO RUBBING EVEN TO THE TIPS ENDS. THE SPINE IS ALSO TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED

THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE THUMB NAIL NICK ON EACH ONE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS  AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT. PERFECTLY BLACK AND NO LINES NEAR ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. ONCE AGAIN THE BLACK SURFACE IS JUST SUBLIME!!!

THE TWO PICTURE INNER SLEEVES ARE ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. SLIGHT RECORD SHAPE BUT UNSPLIT AND UNDAMAGED

THIS STUNNING SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS!!!!

THIS IS A SUPERB COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS GREAT ALBUM, AND IN MY OPINION COULD NEVER BE BETTERED AND THEREFORE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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