THE MAGNIFICENT SLIDER FROM 1972. THIS ALBUM HAS THE APPEARANCE OF AN UNPLAYED ALBUM HAVING NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER, A SPOTLESS VINYL, AND A CLEAR CRIPS UNAFFECTED PLAYTHROUGH. ADD THIS TO WHAT AMOUNTS TO A MINT MINUS SLEEVE AND YOU HAVE THE PERFECT COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS OR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL SURROUNDING THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW. THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE VINYL AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE, APART FORM JUST TWO WISPY HAIRLINES. THIS DISC HAS SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE SINCE 1972.

THERE IS A LIGHT BAG RASH EFFECT ON SIDE ONE OF THE VINYL WHICH APPEARS AS A LITTLE BIT OF PATCHINESS  THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE DISC HAVING SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE WITHOUT REMOVAL.  BUT IN NO WAY DOES THIS AFFECT THE PLAYING PERFORMANCE AS YOU WILL HEAR WHEN YOU LISTEN TO IT. THE DISC HAS THE VERY SLIGHTEST LIP WHICH HAS NO EFFECT ON THE PLAY WHATSOEVER 

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 THE ALBUMS THAT I LIST AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEAR CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE. THERE ARE A FEW ODD SECONDS OF LIGHT STATIC IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS, AND A FEW RANDOM TINY TINY AND BARELY AUDIBLE POPS HERE AND THERE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

THIS UNLAMINATED SLEEVE HAS ON VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THREE MAJOR FAULTS

1. DIRTY WHITE SURFACE
2. SEVERE RING WEAR
3. SPLITS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER SLEEVE

THIS COPY IS ABOUT AS MINT AS I HAVE EVER SEEN ONE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THERE IS NO GRUBBINES OR HANDLING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS OR DINGS, AND AMAZINGLY THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL LINE THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY FIND NEAR THE SPINE. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. ALL 4 CORNERS ARE PERFECT, AND THE RING WEAR THAT BLIGHTS THIS COVER IS RESTRICTED TO JUST A SMALL SLIVER OR RECORD IMPRESSION AT THE VERY BOTTOM, AND ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THIS IS BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW.

THE SPINE IS THE TAPERED FIRST ISSUE AND LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT IS FLAT AND SQUARE, AND JUST HAS TWO TINY HALF FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHED LINES

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS THAT YOU GET BY REMOVONG THE VINYL

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE, AND THE TINEST BIT OF RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE THIS GOOD. THE RED COLOUR IS PERFECT ALL OVER AND THERE IS NO RUBBING ANYWHERE

NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT, AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO CREASES OR EVEN ANY SMALL LINES AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE INNER. IT IS TOTALLY AS NEW. THERE IS THE LIGHTEST RECORD IMPRESSION ONLY

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

THIS IS A SUPERB COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS MAGNIFICENT ALBUM, AND WILL NOT NEED UPGRADING

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