THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BLACK PHILIPS LABEL IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT . THE SILVER TYPEFACE REMAINS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

I CAN JUST MAKE OUT ONE TINY SPIDER LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY  FLAWLESS. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, A TRULY STUNNING PRISTINE DISC

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED 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 GIVE MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT MEANING WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH A CORRECTLY TRACKED, WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AT, ALL, AND WHAT LITTLE THERE IS CAN ONLY BE HEARD DURING A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAY-THROUGH

AN OUTSTANDING FIRST PRESS, THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

THIS NON LAMINATED GATE-FOLD SLEEVE IS RARELY FOUND IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN 'WORN OUT' CONDITION, WITH MANY COPIES HAVING THE CAGE BARS TORN. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN AN AMAZING NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS WHICH ARE OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY ON MOST COPIES. THERE IS  NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RING WEAR, AND THE DIE CUT CAGE BARS ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY DAMAGE OR WEAR

THE TWO LEFT CORNER TIPS HAVE A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF RUB

NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO PAPER SNAGS  OR STICKER MARKS

 NOT EVEN A HINT OF RECORD SHAPE EITHER

THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE RIGHT EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR INTACT AND THERE IS ONLY A PIN PRICK OF RUB AT THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END.

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS VERY LIGHT RUB , AND A LITTLE AT THE RIGHT CORNER AREA

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR  SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.  

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS PLUS A TINY SPECK ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE BY THE TOP END

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. ONE VERY LIGHT CREASE LINE NEAR THE TOP RIGHT CORNER AND A MILD SHADOW OF GREEN UNDER CARD VISIBLE AROUND THE EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PRISTINE  INNER SURFACE . A VERY LIGHT SPECK OF GREYING TO THE BLACK SURFACE ON THE LEFT PANEL

THE OPENING EDGE ON THIS SLEEVE IS ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD BY THE SPINE AND REMAINS IN PERFECT CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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