THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN 1ST PRESS LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SMALL SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LABEL

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. 

THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE OF THE VINYL HAS BEEN RETAINED WITH A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS SPOTLESS. 

NO MARKS OR HANDLING LINES, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE  INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON

THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS

THE ALBUMS PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH. 

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE DECCA FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAR WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO

THE RECORD PLAYS SUPREMELY WELL EVEN THROUGH THE SILENT PASSAGES

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR LOUD CLICKS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS FROM BEING A SOLID MINT VINYL IS THAT I HEARD A COUPLE OF TIMES THE BAREST TOUCH OF STATIC IN A SILENT PASSAGE / LINKING GROOVE

THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN INVESTMENT GRADE VINYL, AND WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION IN GRADING IT MINT MINUS!!!!

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS REALLY CLEAN.  TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE COLOURS THROUGH RUBBING.

THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES  AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE IS A VERY SMALL PATCH OF FOXING IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THIS SLEEVE IS USUALLY AFFECTED BY HANDLING, BUT HERE ON THIS ONE, THERE IS JUST NONE, THE SLEEVE IS INCREDIBLY CLEAN AND MARK AND HANDLING FREE

THE TOP EDGES ARE NEAR PRISTINE, WITH JUST A FEW RANDOM PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR WITH A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE REAR RIGHT CORNER.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED . THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE SOME VERY LIGHT RUBBING, BUT ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE FRONT. CERTAINLY THERE IS STILL NO LOSS TO THE UNLAMINATED COLOURS SO ALL IS WELL THERE. I CAN JUST MAKE OUT A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ONLY AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM, IN THE FORM OF A SEMI CIRCLE.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO  INNER PANELS THAT ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION 

THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN  UNSPLIT CONDITION WITH GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX++

Your Purchase will be send inside a very protective square cornered professional package

The sleeve and record will then have a new outer protective sleeve placed around it
