I HAVE ONLY EVER LISTED ONE COPY OF THIS ALBUM BEFORE, AND THIS IS BECAUSE I HAVE LOST COUNT OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE SEEN SLEEVES THAT ARE COVERED IN CREASE LINES. THIS ALBUM WAS A HUGE SELLER AND MOST COPIES WERE OWNED BY TEENAGERS WHO JUST WANTED TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC NOT ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF THE ALBUM. HERE HOWEVER IS ONE COPY THAT WAS PLACED INTO A COLLECTION AFTER BEING PLAYED JUST THE ONCE. IT HAS REMAINED IN MINT CONDITION EVER SINCE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.EVEN A CLOSE EXAMINATION USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS CANNOT REVEAL ANY SPIDER LINES AND I KNOW I STATED PLAYED ONCE, BUT IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT THIS ALBUM HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED UNTIL TODAY!!!
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING. MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPORADIC WISPY LINES
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 AM CONVINCED THAT BUYERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS ULTRA LOUD FIRST PRESS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN POWERHOUSE SOUND THAT CAPTURES THE THUNDEROUS SOUND THAT WAS SLADE
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AND NO LOUD CLICKS. NO VINYL NOISE JUST THE VERY ODD AND RANDOM SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC. I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO AND JUDGE IT'S QUALITY FOR YOURSELF
FOR ME I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SET COULD EVER BE UPGRADED AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT OR MINT MINUS AT THE VERY WORST
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED MACNEILL SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. I HAVE LOST COUNT OF THE SLEEVES THAT I HAVE EXAMINED ONLY TO REJECT THEM FOR CREASE LINES AND SERIOUS LAMINATE LIFT. HERE THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SLIVER DOWN THE SPINE AND ONE SMALL LAMINATE LINE ON THE TOP EDGE. AMAZINGLY NONE DOWN THE SPINE AT ALL.TWO NEAR INVISIBLE THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE.
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. EVERY INCH OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY ADHERED AND THE EDGES ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT IN MINT CONDITION
THE SPINE IS ALSO UNRUBBED, ABSOLUTELY AS NEW WITHOUT ANY LAMINATE PEEL OF FLAKE, A PERFECTLY FLAT SURFACE AND TYPEFACE THAT IS PRISTINE!!
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK. THE RECORD HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE!!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, GLEAMING POLISHED LAMINATE THAT IS UNBLEMISHED
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
