THE LABELS

THE RED AND WHITE DSS FIRST PRESS LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE WHITE AREA IS VERY WHITE AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED LOGO IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE ARE 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

BEAUTIFULLY HEAVYWEIGHT GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED  ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW 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.

THIS LP HAS SO MANY QUIET ORCHESTRAL PASSAGES, THAT ANY UNWANTED BACKGROUND NOISE IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE IN MY EYES. THIS HAS TO PLAY TO PERFECTION OR VERY CLOSE TO IN MY BOOK.

TRYING TO FIND A DECENT COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS IS A REAL CHALLENGE AND I HAVE DISCARDED 99% OF ANY THAT I HAVE PICKED UP

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANY LP THEY ARE CONSIDERING PLACING A BID ON, 

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS 

FIRSTLY THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE ON THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE OCCASIONAL ODD SPECK OF STATIC HERE AND THERE, AND CONSIDERING HOW SILENT MOST OF THE PASSAGES ARE THIS IS A REAL BONUS

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THE RECORDINGS WILL GIVE YOU A GREAT OVERVIEW OF THE ALBUM, AND IT PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS, BUT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS NEAR MINT 

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS THE GENUINE FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE, WHICH HAS THE WHITE BORDER ACROSS THE TOP WHICH THE LATER ISSUES DID NOT HAVE.

ALSO THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE SLEEVE HAS TO HAVE THE PINK AND BLUE DSS LOGO IN IT.

THE SLEEVE HAS TO BE A CLOUT AND BAKER SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THE LAMINATE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS.

THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE WHATSOEVER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE, NO PEEL OR FLAKE AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR EVEN TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECT

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS THE UNLAMINATED SIDE AND MOST PRONE TO WEAR AND TEAR. HERE THE WHITE SURFACE HAS REMAINED PRISTINE ALL ACROSS THE SURFACE. THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COVER HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL DECCA POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN AN UNSPLIT CONDITION. AND APART FROM A COUPLE OF TRACES OF GLUE AGEING , IS IN MINT CONDITION
