THE LABELS

THE GREEN LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PASTEL  GREEN COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1 NEAR INVISIBLE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED, IN FACT NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE NEW.

THERE IS STILL SOME LOOSE SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE BACKING UP THE BARELY PLAYED STATUS 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE

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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS  RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR EARLY LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS. HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH .

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO  GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT!!! 

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE  SLEEVE FROM HIPGNOSIS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES NOR ARE THERE ANY CREASE LINES EITHER, AND EVEN THE TINY LINES THAT USUALLY FORM NEAR THE SPINE ARE JUST NOT THERE AT ALL!!!!

THE COLOURS REMAIN PERFECT AND UNRUBBED . THERE IS ONE TINY THUMB LINE IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THE MANS HAND IS IN HIS POCKET

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% UNRUBBED, AND CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE SPINE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT AND IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND INCREDIBLY NO WEAR TO THE COLOURS APART FROM THE BAREST SPECK ON THE VERY TOP TIP END ONLY

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE,APART FROM ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE CATALOGUE NUMBER

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE ONES NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE SLEEVE  GRADES MINT MINUS WITH EASE

A SUPERB FIRST PRESS EXAMPLE OF THIS RECORD AND SLEEVE

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