THE LABELS
THE YELLOW STONES LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO MINISCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE, VISIBLE ONLY UNDER STRONG ILLUMINATION, TO INDICATE THAT THIS SUPERB STONES ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT I CAN MAKE ONE ONE VERY FINE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE, EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. A SUPERB GLEAMING NEAR MINT 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 AS I AM DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THIS DISC PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH. WITHOUT CLICKS
THERE IS THE ODD VERY MILD BIT OF VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY DURING THE QUIETEST SPOTS LIKE A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO SOUNDBITES AND I AM CERTAIN YOU WILL AGREE, BUT YOU BE THE JUDGE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC NEAR MINT!!!
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL HEAVY CARDED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE , AND INCREDIBLY NOT EVEN ANY OF THE TINY ONES THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY EXPECT TO SEE NEAR THE SPINE.
THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A SMALL DENT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE VERY MINIMAL SHELF WEAR.
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND AGAIN FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OR COLOUR LOSS OR CREASES. ONE TINY LINE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICK TO SHOW WHERE THE LP WAS REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE
THE TWO INSERTS SHEETS ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION AND NEEDLESS TO SAY ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUES THAT CAME WITH THIS ALBUM.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS.
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER NEAR MINT
A REAL VAULT COPY OF THIS LP SET
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
