- THIS ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1969 ON THE BLUE LIBERTY LABELS. IN 1970 LIBERTY CHANGED THE LABELS TO YELLOW AND BLACK AND THE PRESSINGS WERE REISSUED ON THIS NEW LABEL
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE , SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 55 YEARS. IT IS EVEN POSSIBLE THE VINYL HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED IT LOOKS THAT GOOD
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS. AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE A TRUE MINT RECORD IN EVERY WAY
THE TEST PLAYS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.MEANING THAT ANY PLAY THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO STATIC AT ALL
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
YOU WILL NEVER FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS ONE
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED TEXTURED MACNEILL PRESS SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER.
THE LAMINATE IS EXTREMELY GLOSSY AND APART FROM A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE SPINE HAS NO FURTHER BLEMISHES
THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER.
THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED AND UNFADED
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR ANY RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE. FULLY LAMINATED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION
THE SPINE IS ALSO MINT. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. AGAIN LIKE THE FRONT THERE IS A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT A LONG THE SPINE. ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE AND A MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
