THE LABELS
THE SLIGHTLY ROUGH TEXTURED MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THIS IS THE EARLIEST PRESS , IN MONO
THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN 52 YEARS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED AND THERE IS NO FOGGING OR ANY MARKS EITHER . IT IS A ROCK SOLID HEAVYWEIGHT DISC WITH VIRTUALLY NO FLEX
WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM IN EVERY WAY
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 BECAUSE 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
THE REPRODUCTION FROM THIS ALBUM IS JUST BRILLIANT. PURE FIRST PRESS MONO AND THE DISC PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
TRYING TO FIND A GREAT COPY OF THIS ALBUM IS VERY HARD AND MOST COPIES ARE TRASHED WITH SLEEVES TO MATCH. HERE WE HAVE WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A NEAR FAULTLESS PERFORMANCE.
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED EITHER.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS
CERTAINLY NO STICKS OR JUMPS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THE CLARITY OF THE MONO SOUND IS IMMENSE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED. A REAL LOUD CUT TO THE PRODUCTION ON THIS RECORDING.
I WOULD SAY THAT THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 4-5 TINY LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS DURING THE ENTIRE AUDIO PERFORMANCE
I WOULD SAY THAT THIS ALBUM EASILY FALLS INTO A NEAR MINT GRADE FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF. JUST HIT THE PLAY BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A DISTORTION FREE, CLEAR, LOUD, AND NEAR IMMACULATE RECORDING
THE SLEEVE
E.J DAY AND CO. UK 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS BADLY FROM CREASING AND RING WEAR, BUT THIS COPY HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME EXTREMELY WELL AND IS IN SUPER CONDITION (VERY COLLECTABLE CONDITION)
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND JUST GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THE LAMINATE HAS NOT SUFFERED ANY PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO BENDS, AND ABSOLUTELY NO RING WEAR , JUST A VERY MILD SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ON THE RIGHT EDGE
THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE. SIX ALONG THE TOP EDGE OF WHICH 5 ARE VERY TINY AND THE OTHER ONE CLOSE TO THE LEFT CORNER IS A LITTLE LONGER. FIVE SMALL ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE SMALL THUMB LINE BY THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE ON BOTH SURFACES HAVING A SILKY SMOOTH FEEL ALL THE WAY ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO IT.
THE SPINE IS JUST NEAR PERFECT. UNLAMINATED AND WAFER THIN, IT IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE TYPEFACE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF RUBBING TO THE TOP OF THE LETTERS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP ,A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AND NO BURRING.
THE REAR SURFACE USUALLY SUFFERS FROM SERIOUS GRUBBINESS TO THE GREY SURFACE , BUT THIS SURFACE ONLY HAS THE VERY MILDEST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AND A LIGHT TRACE OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES
THE POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SPLITS TO THE SEAMS, AND NO CORNER CREASES EITHER JUST SOME GLUE AGEING AND AVERY MILD AGEING TO THE ONCE WHITE SURFACE. GUARANTEED ORIGINAL INNER AS IT HAS THE DATE 077 (JULY 67) IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. ALSO THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAND WROTE THE CATALOGUE NUMBER NEATLY IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
TA SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE AND FOR ME THIS GRADES VERY VERY CLOSE TO NEAR MINT! A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE EXAMPLE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
