THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TAN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 48 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAY LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS SPARKLING VINYL, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE SMALL NON SOUNDING MARK ON SIDE ONE

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 KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE ACTUAL ITEM THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON, SO HERE YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP BEFORE DECIDING TO BID OR NOT

THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH A CRISP CLEAR AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL. THERE IS NO HEAVY CRACKLING OR CLICKS EITHER. I CAN'T EVEN SAY I HEARD MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGHOUT THE PLAY.

THERE IS SOME RANDOM AND VERY LIGHT STATIC HEARD IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES .BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

ORIGINAL WB GATEFOLD SLEEVE. THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF BEING HARD TO FIND IN A COLLECTABLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS A VERY POROUS SURFACE. 

THIS USUALLY LEADS TO STAINING ON THE DELICATE SURFACE, AND MOST COPIES I HAVE SEEN ARE DISCOLOURED AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES. 

THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW AND HAS THUS ESCAPED ANY AGEING AND HANDLING.

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE LIGHT BROWN SURFACE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. 

THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS FROM BEING A PERFECT MINT COVER IS THAT THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A VERY TINY DING

INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE WHATSOEVER

NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NOE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS OR STAINING WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT'S TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, AND THIS HAS A DELICATE BROWN FINISH WHICH IS JUST PRISTINE

NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD SHAPE ON EITHER FRONT OR REAR SURFACE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A  PRISTINE PAIR OF  PANELS. THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LOGO IS IN THE CORRECT POSITION BOTTOM LEFT.

INSIDE THE SLEEVE THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER IS IN IMMACULATE UNTOUCHED CONDITION

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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