THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE OLIVE GREEN LABELS ARE IN  MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE ZERO!!! SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES

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 AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT AND SO I HAVE DECIDED TO PLAY THIS ALBUM. I GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED

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

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

THE ODD EMBEDDED SPECK OF NATURAL VINYL STATIC

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN THREE TINY STATIC TICS  THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH,

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS !!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED AND VERY FRAGILE THIN GATEFOLD SLEEVE

MY FIRST EVER COPY OF THIS ALBUM  AND JUST BY LOOKING AT HOW DELICATE THIS SLEEVE IS YOU CAN TELL THAT NOT MANY WOULD HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THE 44 YEARS SINCE RELEASE UNSCATHED. IT IS LIKE THE BEATLES FOR SALE ALBUM COVER WHERE THE LP SLIDES INTO THE SLEEVE ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD NEAR THE SPINE, WHICH USUALLY LEADS TO SPLIT ENDS AT THE SPINE AND SEVERE CREASING OF THE THIN FRONT 'FLAP'

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL. THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT

THERE IS ONE TINY LINE AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE, AND ONE ON THE RIGHT HAD EDGE LIKE A THUMB LINE. NONE ELSEWHERE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. ALL OF THE DELICATE PASTEL GREEN COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNRUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE  HAS A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS NEAR PERFECT. TOTALLY FLAT WITH A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A SMALL SPECK OF RUB, AND THERE ARE ONE OR TWO TINY SLIVERS OF WHITE ON THE LEADING EDGES, BUT THIS SPINE HAS REALLY STOOD THE TEST OF TIME CONSIDERING THAT THIS IS THE WEAKEST POINT OF THIS SLEEVE.

THE INSIDE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION TO THE FRONT, THE TOP LEFT TIP END HAS A SPECK OF RUB

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. NO MARKS, STAINS, SPLITS OR CREASES

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