 TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC ALBUMS OF THE EARLY 70'S AND NEAR ON IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT COLLECTING THIS RECORD YOU WILL UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY WHY I AM SAYING THIS. JUST TYPE IN ELECTRIC WARRIOR TO THE EBAY SEARCH ENGINE AND JUST LOOK AT ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUES UP FOR AUCTION OR SALE. THE SLEEVES WILL ALL BE TERRIBLY RINGWORN AND CREASED ALL ALONG THE SPINE. HARDLY ANY OF THEM WILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL STICKER IN PLACE, AND THE GOLD LETTERING ON THE SPINE WILL BE IN MOST CASES OBLITERATED. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WILL HAVE HARDLY ANY BLACK LEFT ONE THEM,PLUS THERE WILL MOST LIKELY BE PAPER SNAGS ON THE SURFACE AND DAMAGE TO THE OPENING EDGE AND 99 TIMES OUT OF 100 THE POSTER WILL ALSO BE EITHER MISSING OR IN POOR CONDITION. THAT'S BEFORE WE EVEN GET TO THE VINYL.

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABEL, AND THE WHITE SIDE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS OR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR ON THE PICTURE SIDE FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THE WHITE SIDE IS PURE WHITE AND UNMARKED. THE TYPEFACE ON THE TRACK LIST SIDE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE JUST 2-3 VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED SINCE 1971

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S LUSTRE AND SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES (ALL TOTALLY NEAR INVISIBLE AND NON SOUNDING)

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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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

EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND COULDN'T BE ANY CLEARER. EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION. IT IS ALSO A VERY LOUD CUT AND SOUNDS JUST SUPERB ON MY SYSTEM

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED NOISE

THIS RECORD PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND IN MY OPINION SOUNDS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY LITTLE INSIGNIFICANT STATIC TIC DURING THE WHOLE PLAY THROUGH

THIS IS JUST A SUPERB VOLUME AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SIT BACK AND LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP

I AM VERY PLEASE TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE PLAYTHROUGH AS CLOSE TO MINT AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET. THE VINYL IS SIMPLY STUNNING TO LOOK AT AS WELL

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

I HAVE NOTED AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE JUST HOW NEAR IMPOSSIBLE IOT IS TO FIND A GREAT 'WARRIOR' SLEEVE. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE ONE THAT IS AS GOOD AS THE BEST OUT THERE I BELIEVE

IT'S THE CORRECT 1ST ISSUE E.J DAY POWDERY BLACK SINGLE SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THE JET BLACK POWDERY MATT SURFACE IS STILL UNRUBBED AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS TO THIS DELICATE SURFACE WHATSOEVER APART FROM THE LIGHTEST SHADOW OF GREYING AROUND WHAT WOULD BE THE EDGE OF THE RECORD SHAPE IF THERE WAS ANY.

UNLIKE ALL THE REST THERE IS NO RING WEAR ON THIS SLEEVE AT ALL, JUST THE ABSOLUTE MOST MINIMAL SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO A STRONG LIGHT

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES,NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A WHITE PINPRICK VISIBLE ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP END

THERE ARE JUST SIX VERY SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND EVEN THESE ARE STILL BLACK IN COLOUR NOT WHITE AS THEY WOULD BE IF THEY WERE DEEP LINES.THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE .

THE ORIGINAL POSTER STICKER IS FIRMLY IN PLACE.

INCREDIBLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, WITH ALL OF THE BLACK COLOUR FULLY INTACT AND RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP WITH JUST THE TWO RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVING A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING.

THE SPINE LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. FIRST OF ALL IT'S FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE BLACK COLOUR HAS ALL BEEN RETAINED WITH JUST A CREALLY TINY OUPLE OF SLIGHTLY GREYER PATCHES VISIBLE USING A MACRO LENS. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB. THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE CONDITION

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND JUST HAS A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS TO THE EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, JUST A FEW SMALL (STILL BLACK) LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP AND NONE MORE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. 

THE INNER SLEEVE IS FREE FROM ANY SEAM SPLITS AND ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE CREASE LINES AND A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING

THE ALL IMPORTANT POSTER IS STILL IN MINT CONDITION. I AM CERTAIN THIS POSTER HAS ONLY EVER BEEN OPENED ONCE OR TWICE. THE FOLD LINES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE IT WILL NOT LIE FLAT BECAUSE OF THIS. BOTH SIDE ARE IMMACULATE. PERFECT WHITE REAR SURFACE AND AN UNMARKED PICTURE IN EVERY WAY.NO PIN HOLES SO HAS NEVER BEEN UP ON SOMEONES WALL

SO IN SUMMARISING, I WOULD SAY THAT THIS SLEEVE IS IN THE MOST STUNNING CONDITION WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW THEY USUALLY ARE PRESENTED, AND TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ALL OF THE ABOVE I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT

THE ULTIMATE UPGRADE COPY FOR SOME COLLECTOR

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