- CATALOGUE:CBS 69154

THIS LP WAS TAKEN FROM NEW PLACED INTO A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE AND LEFT UNPLAYED FOR THE PAST 39 YEARS. PLEASE READ BELOW ABOUT THE SLEEVE WHICH IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION
- THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
SUPERB MINT CONDITION CBS LABELS. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO UNMARKED AND UNRUBBED AND IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES SURROUNDING THE HOLE WHATSOEVER. WHICH IS CORRECT FOR AN UNPLAYED ALBUM
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. A TRULY UNPLAYED ORIGINAL ISSUE
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, AS I FIRMLY 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 BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT, AND MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS INCREDIBLE. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT
ALL OF THE NOTES ARE HEARD PERFECTLY AND THERE ARE MANY SILENT PASSAGES WHICH PERFORM SUPERBLY
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS OR EVEN ANY VINYL NOISE
INCREDIBLY NO STATIC AND NO MORE THAN ONE DUST POP WHATSOEVER THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT !!!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION. THE SLEEVE WAS MADE FROM A VERY HEAVY CARD AND COATED WITH A SILVER FOIL EFFECT FINISH. SIMILAR TO THE CREAM LP ' WHEELS OF FIRE ' THE SILVER FINISH RUBS AWAY ALMOST BY LOOKING AT IT, AND EVERY SINGLE COPY OF THIS LP I HAVE EVER SEEN HAS THE BLACK UNDERCOAT COMING THOUGH IN VARYING DEGREES OF SHABBINESS. CLEARLY THIS WAS HOUSED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER AS IT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! NOT ONE BLEMISH TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. NOT EVEN ANY DENTS OR SCRATCHES. I AM BLOWN AWAY BY JUST HOW PRISTINE THIS SLEEVE IS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB. TOTALLY FLAT MARK FREE, THE SILVER FINISH GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO 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 AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, APART FROM THAT TOP LEFT CORNER, OTHERWISE THE LAMINATE IS ALL FULLY INTACT AND RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER UNBLEMISHED.
THE TOP EDGE IS ALSO INCREDIBLE. FULLY FINISHED IN SHINY SILVER FROM CORNER TO CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNMARKED. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SILVER AND BLACK FINISH AND THIS IS VIRTUALLY AS PERFECT WITH JUST A VERY THIN LINE OF WHITE VISIBLE IN THE RIGHT CORNER.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE SILVER FINISH IS JUST IMMACULATE ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. PERFECT TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND PRISTINE BLACK TYPEFACE.
THE REAR SURFACE ONCE AGAIN IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, JUST LIKE THE FRONT NOT ONE JOT OF RUBBING TO THE SILVER SURFACE. . THERE IS ONE SMALL LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE AND THAT'S ALL
THE TWO PAGE LYRIC INSERT IS IN MINT UNTOUCHED CONDITION
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN, FLAT AND UNSPLIT CONDITION
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
