THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP BLUE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE REALLY SMALL AND BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED IN THE PAST 47 YEARS

THE VINYL

A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.

IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE ONLY 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I KNOW 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 RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS.

THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL, JUST SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE STUFF IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS , HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES LIKE A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROVES.

THERE ARE SOME RANDOM TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS ALSO

.I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!

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

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT / NON LAMINATED REAR 'PORTHOLE' SINGLE SLEEVE. THE RARER NO MAKERS NAME ISSUE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT AND CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASING OR BENDING TO ANY PART OF IT, NOR ARE THERE ANY DEFECTS TO THE LAMINATE ITSELF.

THERE ARE FIVE TINY  LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THIN THUMB LINE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER AREA.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE TO THIS SLEEVE

 THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY INTACT, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS MAINLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH A SMALL BEND TO THE BOTTOM TIP AND A TINY DIMPLE JUST UNDER THE TOP TIP.  THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT AND THE TYPEFACE ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASING AND BENDS. DUE TO IT BEING UNLAMINATED , AND ONLY SHOWS A REALLY TINY AMOUNT OF HANDLING

THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT CREASE LINES AND THE SIDES HAVE SMALL SEAM SPLITS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS INTACT THOUGH

THE POSTER IS IN MINT CONDITION, HAVING NEVER BEEN NEAR A WALL. ALL OF THE FOLD LINES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND IS IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS HAS JUST HARDLY BEEN OPENED LET ALONE TAKEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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