THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE AROUND EACH OF THE HOLES
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
THE VINYL
BOTH VINYLS ARE JUST IMMACULATE. THEY GLEAM LIKE THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN
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 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 OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I WAS BY FINDING AND THEN HEARING THIS ONE PLAY LP SET.
THE WHOLE THING PLAYS TO A MAGNIFICENT STANDARD. WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION,EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL TRACK PRESSING FROM 1967. I AM CERTAIN THE SAME MASTERS MUST HAVE BEEN USED.
THE LP'S PLAY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
THE ONLY STATIC OCCURS IN A COUPLE OF THE RUN IN GROOVES AT THE START OF EACH SIDE, BUT OTHERWISE THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST PERFECT
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THE MOST MINUSCULE LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS. IT IS THAT GOOD!!!
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS MAGNIFICENT AND GLEAMS LIKE A NEW SLEEVE WITH A LAMINATED SURFACE THAT IS UNCREASED IN ANY WAY. THERE ARE NO BENDS OR FOLDS, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT. NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND CERTAINLY MO LAMINATE LIFT EITHER. INCREDIBLY THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, TWO MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE.
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ALL SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR EITHER. THIS IS A FABULOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS FRAGILE SLEEVE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% UNWORN, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE IN PERFECT CONDITION, AND FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED.
THE SPINE IS ALSO TOTALLY PRISTINE, IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED
BOTH OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND IT'S OBVIOUS BY LOOKING AT THIS THAT THE LP'S HAVE JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES, AS THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE OPENING EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO CREASES OF ANY DESCRIPTION. ONE TINY LINE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM. NONE AT ALL NEAR THE SPINE AND AGAIN NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS ONE TINY FINGERNAIL SIZES SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT NEAR THE TOP OF THE SPINE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF LAMINATED INNER PANELS. GLEAMING WITH JUST A TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES ALONG THE TOP RIGHT EDGE
FINALLY THE TWO ORIGINAL POLYDOR POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION.
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION IN GRADING THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
