THE SUPERB 1967 DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE NICE FEATURING KEITH EMERSON. THIS ALBUM AND SLEEVE ARE IN THE MOST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION IMAGINABLE, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THERE CAN BE A BETTER COPY OUT THERE

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE PALE LILAC LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE PASTEL BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTI THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON THE LABELS. THERE IS ONE MINISCULE SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED AND WHEN YOU HEAR IT YOU WILL ALSO UNDERSTAND WHY 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND LOOKS SUPERB AND MARK FREE APART FROM TWO TINY NON SOUNDING SPOTS ON SIDE ONE. IT GLEAMS LIKE AN UNPLAYED ALBUM AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. IT'S 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 DECIDED WITH ALL LISTINGS WHERE PRACTICAL TO RECORD THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. THE EXTRA TIME THIS TAKES ME TO COMPLETE THIS WILL I HOPE ENABLE POTENTIAL BIDDERS TO WANT TO COME BACK TO LISTEN TO MORE OF MY ALBUMS UP FOR AUCTION

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE CLARITY IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.

IF I AM BEING ULTRA PICKY THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POPS AND THE VERY OCCASIONAL SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC, BUT THAT IS BEING PICKY, BECAUSE THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO PERFECTION

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS REPRODUCTION MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE BY RIGHTS SHOULD BE IN A VERY POOR CONDITION LIKE MOST I HAVE SEEN, AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT IT IS MADE OF A VERY FLIMSY CARD, AND IT'S UNLAMINATED, AND THE COATING ON THE SURFACE IS ONE OF THISE WHAT I DESCRIBE AS A DUSTY POWEDERY FINISH, AND MOST YOU WILL SEE HAVE BEEN BADLY RUBBED, BUT THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM IS SEVERE RING WEAR, AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THIS ONE IS NEAR PERFECT

SO THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, IN FACT APART FROM ONE SMALL LIGHT LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE THERE ARE NO MORE AT ALL.THE DUSTY BLACK SURFACE HAS ALL BEE RETAINED AND THE COLOURS REMAIN UNRUBBED. AS FOR RING WEAR THERE IS NONE, JUST THE BAREST AND I DO MEAN BARETS TOUCH OF RECORD SHAPE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS VERY VERY MINOR SHELF WEAR WHILST THE TOP EDGE IS UNMARKED

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE CAN BE CLEARLY REARD

THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT AND RAZOR SHARP. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT MINUS CONDITION, AGAIN BACKING UP THE ONE PLAY CONDITION

I WILL BE ON HOLIDAY WHE THE AUCTION CLOSES SO I WILL BE HAPPY TO WAIT FOR PAYMENT UNTIL I AM ABLE TO POST IT AROUND OCT 10TH

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