THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE 10-12 SMALL SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE,

THE LABEL HAS AN UNUSUAL RIDGE ON IT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THIS BEFORE. IT'S NOT A DECCA GROOVE, AS IT SLIGHTLY RAISED. SO I DON'T KNOW WHETER IT WAS PRESSED BY ANOTHER COMPANY OR NOT. TAKE A LOOK AND DECIDE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS AND A SOME HANDLING MARKS TO BEE SEEN. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION , THE SAME PLUS 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 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 RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS A CRISP CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION. THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE NOTES OR VOCALS.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE

THERE IS LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

SIDE ONE PLAYS WITH RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS, WHILST SIDE 2 HAS SOME CLICKS ON DR ROBERT, BUT OTHERWISE SIMILAR TO SIDE ONE

OVERALL IT IS THE DISTORTION FREE CLARITY OF THE MONO REPRODUCTION THAT OVERRIDES ALL ELSE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS RARE LP EXCELLENT PLUS / EXCELLENT (SIDE 2)

BUT I'LL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE. THIS SLEEVE IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE..

THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND THREE MORE EVEN SMALLER ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE. AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM, ALSO ONE SMALL THUMB LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF GEORGE'S HAIR

NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE. A PERFECTLY GLOSS WHITE AND BLACK SURFACE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT.ONLY THE VERY TIP END IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER SHOWS A SPECK OF RUB

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE  PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND ONLY A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING SHOWS AT EACH TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS AND THEY ARE ALSO PERFECTLY CLEAN.WITH A FEW TIN Y LAMINATE LINES ON THEM

THE VULNERABLE UNLAMINATED POWDERY BLACK SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. OFTEN FOUND RUBBED THROUGH TO THE WHITE SURFACE, THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND IS IMMACULATE. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RECORD SHAPE ANYWHERE

THE RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS  IN VERY CLEAN CONDITION, JUST A TINY SHADE OF AGEING. AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASE LINES TO THE LEFT CORNERS. THE SLEEVE REMAINS UNSPLIT

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

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