THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP RED COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED IN THE PAST 59 YEARS

THE VINYL

A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT IS STILL IMMACULATE. COULDN'T EVEN SEE ANY WISPY HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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 RICH AND POWERFUL MONO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.

THERE IS NOT ONE SECOND OF DISTORTION TO THIS AMAZING SOUND, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS SILENCE BETWEEN THE TRACKS NO STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH. 

THE RECORDING IS A VERY LOUD MONO CUT AND IS REPRODUCED SUPERBLY, SO PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS GREAT ALBUM FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS  MINT 

AN OUTSTANDING FIRST ISSUE VINYL

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT HAVE A LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT AND CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASING OR BENDING TO ANY PART OF IT, NOR ARE THERE ANY DEFECTS TO THE LAMINATE.

THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS NO PEEL, FLAKE OR LIFT

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP EDGE HAS SMOOTH UNBLEMISHED LAMINATE RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE, SHOWING NO BLEMISHES TO THE CORNER TIP ENDS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL

THE SPINE HAS TAPERED ENDS WHICH ARE BOTH IMMACULATE. THE REST OF THE SURFACE IS FULLY PROTECTED WITH PERFECT LAMINATE. NO RUBBING TO THE TIP ENDS, AND THE TEXT IS PRISTINE AND LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASING AND BENDS.AND IS IN THE SAME TOP CONDITION OTHER THAN THE BAREST TRACE OF NATURAL AGEING TO THE CARD SURFACE

THE WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE  WITH THE MAUVE TEXT IS UNSPLIT AND ONLY LIGHTLY CREASED, TINY NICK ON ONE SIDE OF THE DIE CUT HOLES

THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS

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