THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE BLUE LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST HALF A DOZEN SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED IN OVER 40 YEARS

THE VINYL

REALLY GLOSSY HEAVYWEIGHT LP THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN, AND IS MARK FREE, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A SOME WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF REALLY FINE HANDLING LINES TO BE SEEN. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE MONO PRESSING

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. I HAVE RECENTLY DECIDED THAT ALL OF MY LISTINGS WILL BE DONE THIS WAY AS IT IS MY BELIEF THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THUS NO GROOVE WEAR. CLEARLY PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

A CRISP CLEAN MONO SOUND THAT IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, AND THERE IS JUST THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT BIT OF STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HERE AND THERE, HEARD ONLY IN THE QUIETEST OF SPOTS.

I CAN'T SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL PLAYTHOUGH NEAR MINT!!! OR NEAR MINT MINUS AT THE VERY WORST

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE.

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS AND IS HIGHLY POLISHED.

MOST COPIES OF THIS SLEEVE THAT YOU WILL COME ACROSS WILL BE HEAVILY CREASED, BUT NOT THIS ONE IT IS VIRTUALLY IMMACULATE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE FRONT SURFACE, JUST HALF A DOZEN TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND A COUPLE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE SMALL THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS 1005 INTACT AND RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP.

THE SPINE IS ALSO PRISTINE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND EVERY SPECK OF LAMINATE IS PROPERLY ADHERED RIGHT THE WAY TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS EVEN.

THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS, A COUPLE OF TINY LINES ACROSS THE RIGHT HAND SIDE ONE

THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE, WHICH USUALLY SUFFERS BADLY ALL OF THE TEXT CAN CLEARLY BE READ. THIS IS THE BEST LOOKING REAR SURFACE I HAVE SEEN FOR YEARS

THE ORIGINAL ADVERTISING INNER IS INCLUDED AND IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSPLIT

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!

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