THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.

THERE ARE AROUND FIFTEEN  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS BARELY LIGHTLY PLAYED SINCE 1964

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS CLEAN IN DAYLIGHT. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS . UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARENUMEROUS WUISPY SWIRLY HAIRKINES AND A FEW FINE HANDLING LINES, BUT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE THEY SHOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE REPRODUCTION, BUT AS YOU WILL HEAR THE REPRODCUTION IS QUITE MAGNIFICENT

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 BECAUSE I JUST KNOW 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 SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN MONO REPRODUCTION. JUST PURE FIRST PRESS MONO SOUND.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH

THERE ARE NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS EITHER

EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS THE PRODUCER INTENDED AND BEARING IN MIND THIS ALBUM IS 49 YEARS OLD. IT IS QUITE STUNNING

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

A SUPERB VINYL THAT I AM HAPPY TO GRADE NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE IS MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE NEW.  THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW WHICH HAS COMPLETELY PROTECTED IT. THERE ARE NO BENDS OR FOLD OR HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.

THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE, AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE . ONE MINUSCULE ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH ALL THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE VERY TIP ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS A SPECK OF RUBBING

THE SPINE IS JUST IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, ONLY THE TOP TIP HAS  SPECK OF RUBBING . THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE

THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS. THERE IS THE VERY VERY LIGHTEST TRACE OF HANDLING TO THE OPENING EDGE, AND THAT'S BEING REALLY PICKY. THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL IMMACULATE

THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO HEAVY CREASES, JUST ONE LIGHT WRINKLE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. NO SPLITS AND NO WEAR TO THE TOP OPENING EDGE. SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE WHITE SURFACE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!!

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