THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE  RED ELEKTRA LABELS DETERMINE THIS AS A FIRST PRESS.

THE RED BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE WHITE SLEKTRA LOGO IS IN THE SAME MINT CONDITION

THERE IS JUST 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUNDTHE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

 

 THE VINYL

CLASSIC HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH GLEAMS LIKE A POILSHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE DISC AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ALL I CAN SEE ARE A COUPLE OF THE WISPIEST HAIRLINES. A MAGNIFICENT VINYL

 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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I HAVE BECOME 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 LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH A CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CLEANLINESS TO THE SOUND, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF CAREFUL PLAYS THIS HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETD ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, AND THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES ARE EXACTLY SILENT

THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AT ALL AT ANY POINT NOR IS THERE ANY STATIC EITHER

A SUBLIME RECORDING THAT HAS JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS AT THE MOST

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL  MINT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

THE CORRECT FIRST PRESS UNLAMINATED MACNEILL GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS ALBUM COVER IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. THE COLOURS ARE ALL PRISTINE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS. THERE ARE JUST TWO REALLY SMALL  LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE.THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RING WEAR, OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE MOST MINIMAL RUBBING, JUST A FEW WHITE SPECKS SHOWING THROUGH IN PLACES

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. JUST A COUPLE OF SEMI FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES, BUT OTHERWISE TOTALLY FLAT. EVERY LTTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ONLY THE ABSOLUTE TIP ENDS HAVE MILD RUBBING

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS IMMACULATE WITH THE FRONT, WITH JUST ONE TINY  LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE , BUT NONE AT ALL NEAR THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT CONDITION INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. IT IS THE CORRECT ISSUE HAVING THE DATE 0370 IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER (MARCH 1970) NO AGEING OR STATINS JUST PURE WHITE WITH A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

 

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

GARRY
