THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TWO ROGER DEAN LABELS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. SO IS THE BLACK TYPEFACE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO UNWORN

THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, EVEN WHEN I EXAMINED BOTH WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A A COUPLE OF SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES VISIBLE

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, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

RELAYER HAS SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES THAT FINDING A COPY WITHOUT NOISE AND CRACKLE IS REALLY DIFFICULT

HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB EXAMPLE

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS WHATSOEVER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK OF STATIC AT THE VERY START OF EACH SIDE, AND THE ODD SPECK HERE AND THERE

I CAN'T SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, AND THAT WAY IN THE LINKING GROOVE TO THE SECOND TRACK ON SIDE TWO

FOR ME THE PLAYTHOUGH GRADES MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED SHOREWOOD SLEEVE WITH THE ROGER DEAN ARTWORK.

THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE GREY AND WHITE SURFACE.

THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE THAT THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN WAS TO PROTECT IT FROM DAY  I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THE LP'S ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THE FORESIGHT TO DO JUST THAT. AND HERE WE HAVE WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A 99% PERFECT SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND UNWORN.THERE IS A TRACE OF YELLOWING AT THE SPINE EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND NO RECORD SHAPE ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE.

THERE ARE INCREDIBLY ZERO!!! LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE AND AGAIN THIS IS NIGH ON IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE BEEN PRESERVED, AND THERE IS NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP WHICH HAS A SPECK OF RUB

THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST MINT!!.  TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN EVERY SPECK OF COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED, AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE MINT

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION THAT ANY COLLECTOR TO COULD WISH TO HOPE FOR. NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND TOTALLY RUB AND WEAR FREE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE MINT INTERIOR PAIR OF SURFACES.

FINALLY THE CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS

A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS !!!!

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