THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE SILVER BLACK FONTANA LABELS ARE IN MINT  CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE BLACK SURFACE IS THE TEXTURED ORIGINAL ISSUE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS ONE MICROSCOPIC  SPIDER LINE NEXT TO IT ON SIDE TWO AND THREE ON SIDE ONE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND MARK FREE.  UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, A FEW TOTALLY NON SOUNDING ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES, AND SOME DULLISH SPECKS AND LINES EMBEDDED IN THE VINYL

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 DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL HEAR A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS 1967 RECORDING ANYWHERE

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY 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 OUTSTANDING MONO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. INCREDIBLE LOUD MONO MIX AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, SHOWING THAT WHAT  PLAY THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WAS UNWORN OR UNDAMAGED

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

I ONLY HEARD A COUPLE OF VERY VERY LIGHT SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN SILENT PASSAGES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THOUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH OF SIDE ONE, AND THIS EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS, SIDE TWO WOULD HAVE GRADED THE SAME APART FROM THREE ROTATIONAL TICS/POPS RIGHT AT THE END OF THE FINAL TRACK AND FOR THAT REASON I AM GRADING SIDE TWO NEAR MINT!!!

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWNS STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND FLIPBACKED NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE WHICH IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION

THE LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE HAS A REALLY DEEP GLOSSY SHINE AND LOOKS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.

THERE ARE ZERO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND JUST FOUR MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. ONE LIGHT THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. IN ADDITION THERE IS A LITTLE WRINKLING OF THE LAMINATE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, WHERE TWO LINES HAVE FORMED OVER THE YEARS. THERE IS A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH SUPERB. BOTH FULLY LAMINATED WHICH RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THERE IS ONE  SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY IN PLACE . NO PEEL OR FLAKE AND IT IS ALSO FLAT AND UNSQUASHED.THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH A LITTLE BURRING AT THE BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS, NO CHIPS OR DAMAGE AT ALL

INCREDIBLY THE UNLAMINATED WHITE SURFACE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO AGEING OR HANDLING TO THE PRISTINE SURFACE.

THE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. UNSPLIT BUT DOES HAVE FOUR CORNER CREASE LINES . NO MARKS OR STAINS THOUGH

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!

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