THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE MATT BLACK LABEL IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.
THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION , WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LETTERS SHOWING A LITTLE RUB
AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THIS IS THE EARLIEST PRESS , LATER REISSUED ON THE POLYDOR LABEL AFTER HENDRIX BECAME COLLECTIBLE FOLLOWING THE ELECTRIC LADYLAND ALBUM RELEASED LATER IN 1968.
THERE ARE JUST TWO RIDICULOUSLY SMALL SPIDER LINES, AND ONE LONGER ONE ON SIDE TWO, CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM HAS HAD JUST THE TWO OR THREE PLAYS FROM NEW
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED AND THERE IS NO FOGGING OR ANY MARKS EITHER .
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
A SUPREME EXAMPLE
THE TEST PLAY
AN INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THIS TRACK CLASSIC
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE APART FROM THE GUITAR WORK THAT SHOULD SOUND DISTORTED OF COURSE. THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED OR WORN EITHER.
SECONDLY THERE IS NO CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THE STEREO SOUND IS SPECTACULAR WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD AS WAS INTENDED
CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN SOUND THROUGHOUT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS
AND JUST A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS BEAUTIFUL VINYL MINT
YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED WITH THIS EXAMPLE
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN AMAZING CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED AND LOOKS SUPERB ALL OVER. NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL NICELY SQUARE WITH A LITTLE SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP LEFT ONE
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE EVERY BIT AS GOOD
THE SPINE IS NEAR PERFECT. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND THE ONLY AREA OF COLOUR RUB IS AT THE TOP TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AS IT POSSIBLY COULD BE,WITH AND DEPICTS WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE UNPLAYED FOR MANY YEARS.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE VERY TOP, BUT THE COLOURS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND CLEAN . UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED. THERE IS SOME GLUE AGEING TO THE SEAMS
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
