THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK RED UNBOXED DEEP GROOVED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UN-RUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 3-4 VISIBLE  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE THE LP APPEARS FLAWLESS  UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I COULD JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT  A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, AND A TINY NON SOUNDING HANDLING MARK

 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 AM DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL 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 CUSTOMER

I HAVE RECORDED TI HOW IT WAS INTENDED TO BE HEARD IN MONO

THE VINYL PLAYS WITH A CRISP CLEAR MONO SOUND WITHOUT DISTORTION TO THE MUSIC MEANING THAT WHAT VERY LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

WHEN YOU PLAY THIS LP THE POWERFUL SOUND IS CRYSTAL CLEAR WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, SO PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THE RECORD BEFORE DECIDING IF IT IS RIGHT FOR YOUR COLLECTION.

YOU WILL HEAR AN OUTSTANDING MONO RECORDING FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED NOISES, OR POPS. 

BEING ULTRA PICKY I HEARD A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE STATIC TICS / DUST POPS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

WHAT A FABULOUS ALBUM IN SUCH MAGNIFICENT CONDITION I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS MINT MINUS

 PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE

I HAVE MENTIONED SO MANY TIMES JUST HOW THIN THESE EARLY STONES ALBUM SLEEVES ARE. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE QUALITY SLEEVES THAT THE BEATLES ALBUMS CAME IN IT, MAKE YOU WONDER WHY THEY DECIDED TO PUT WHAT WOULD BE VERY POPULAR RECORDS IN SLEEVES THAT COULDN'T HANDLE THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF THE VINYL. MOST COPIES WILL BE HEAVILY CREASED AND MAYBE EVEN TORN, PLUS THE POROUS REAR SURFACE IS USUALLY ALWAYS STAINED AND VERY BROWN....

THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY CREASED ALL OVER, IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. FIRST OF ALL THE LAMINATE ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS AND HAS A REALLY DEEP SHEEN TO IT.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, FOLDS OR BENDS AND NO TEARS OR SPLITS ANYWHERE.

THERE ARE JUST EIGHT SMALL LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE  NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE. 

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE WAFER THIN LAMINATE . THE TOP EDGE HAS A SOME LIGHT STAINING TO THE WHITE SURFACE, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE IS PERFECT

THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, AND HAS NO CHIPS OR ROUGHNESS TO THE LAMINATE. IT IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE, AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS, AND THE ONCE WHITE SURFACE HAS AGED A LITTLE

THE WHITE REAR SURFACE HAS A LITTLE NATURAL HANDLING / AGEING, BUT IS STILL FAR CLEANER THAN MANY. 

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCELLENT UN-SPLIT CONDITION, ALSO VERY FLAT AND UN-CREASED, AGAIN SHOWING WHY THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THIS INNER DOES HAVE AGEING TO THE ONCE WHITE SURFACE 

THIS SLEEVE LIKE THE LP GRADES CLOSE TO NEAR MINT 

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