THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS AND FULLY 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 ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THERE ARE ALSO REMNANTS OF VINYL FROM THE PRESSING STILL HANGING ON IN THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT VINYL TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ALSO SPOTLESS. A MAGNIFICENT UNPLAYED EXAMPLE

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

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

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NOT EVEN ANY LIGHT STATIC IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND A LITTLE ON THE FINAL TRACK RUN OUT ON SIDE TWO WHICH IS COMMON TO EVERY COPY I HAVE EVER LISTED

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS 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

UNLAMINATED TEXTURED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE PRISTINE AND THERE IS NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR TO THIS SURFACE WHATSOEVER 

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP OR THE BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TOP TIP, WITH JUST A SPECK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. AGAIN THE TAN COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, WITH JUST A LITTLE LIGHT RUB. THERE IS A SPECK OF RUBBING ON THE BOTTOM TIP  AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

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

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A ONE VERY LIGHT DARK MARK JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A MINT PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS MINT MINUS (ONE TINY EDGE FOLD)

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT BUT DOES HAVE SOME GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE MINT MINUS !!!
