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 IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AGAINST THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EACH SIDE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB. .IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME DULL PATCHES AND SPECKLES TO THE VINYL. TOTALLY NON SOUNDING, AND A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES WHERE THE RECORDS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE INNER SLEEVE FOR INSPECTION

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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP 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

THE DISCS PLAY TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, PERHAPS A SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES, AND I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE I HEARD ANY  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE FOUR SIDES EITHER. ACTUALLY I HEARD THREE ON THE FINAL TRACK OF SIDE TWO AND THESE HAVE BEEN RECORDED, BUT IT WAS PURELY DUST AS WHEN I PLAYED IT OVER A SECOND TIME IN THIS AREA THE POPS HAD GONE

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 MINT MINUS !!!!

IT REALLY IS THAT MAGNIFICENT

THE SLEEVE

MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL ROBOR UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD WHICH HAS BEEN HOUSED UNMOLESTED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER COVER FROM NEW

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 ONE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. THERE IS ONE SMALL ONE ON THE TOP EDGE NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER. ONE AT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE . NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TOP TWO CORNER TIP ENDS

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGE  HAS LIGHT SHELF RUB TO THE TWO SURFACES IN TO THE RIGHT OF CENTRE.

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND AGAIN FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER,THE BOTTOM TIP IS PERFECT WHILST THE TOP TIP HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. NO SQUASHING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT.ONE TINY LINE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

JUST AN IMMACULATE SLEEVE

THE OPENING EDGES ARE BOTH RAZOR SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THEM,

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY MINT CONDITION INNER PANELS.

THE TWO COLOURED INNER SLEEVES ARE ALSO IN THE SAME INCREDIBLE CONDITION AS THE REST OF THE SET. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS DESPITE THE VINYL LIVING IN THEM SINCE 1977. NO CREASES , NO RECORD SHAPE, AND CERTAINLY NO MARKS OR STAINS, A COUPLE OF TINY LIGHT SURFACE WRINKLES ONLY

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER NEAR MINT !!!!

THERE CAN BE NOTHING BETTER OUT THERE. IT IS THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN

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