THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SIX ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE WHITE BAND RUNNING THROUGH THE CENTRE OF THE LABEL IS ALSO PURE WHITE AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THERE ARE JUST 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING EXACTLY WHY THIS LP SET HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED SINCE 1973
ALSO THE LABEL IS THE FIRST ISSUE ATLANTIC LABEL WITHOUT THE WARNER 'W' AT THREE O'CLOCK
THE VINYL
THE DISCS HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY LOOK FLAWLESS.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE, AND EVEN THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES ARE NO MORE THAN A FEW
PLAYING THE RECORDS
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, SOMETHING I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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 AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO STATE IS THAT ALL THREE PLAYSWITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE SET WAS PLAYED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
IN ADDITION THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, THERE IS DEFINITELY A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIRST PRESSES AND ALL THE REST. THIS IS BY FAR A CLEARER, LOUDER CUT. EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD TO PERFECTION
THIS VINYL PLAYS TO TOTAL PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SIX SIDES, WITH A SUPERB CRISP AND CLEAR SOUND.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND NO CLICKS, AND THERE ARE SO MANY NEAR SILENT PASSAGES ON YESSONGS THAT ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VINYL WOULD BE INSTANTLY SHOWN UP AUDIBLY.
THE RUN OUTS ARE EVEN SILENT AND I HAVE RECORDED THEM IN FULL
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EITHER. ALL I HEARD WERE 3-4 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT
ANYWAY PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO IT FOR YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
A VERY HARD ALBUM TO FIND WITH A SLEEVE THAT DOESN'T LOOK AWFUL. THE BROWN POWDERY SURFACE IS USUALLY TERRIBLE AND RINGWEAR BLIGHTS THIS SLEEVE USUALLY!!!
THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE THAT HAS THA LARGE FLAT SPINE, NOT THE CONCERTINA STYLE OF THE LATER PRESSINGS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY UNCREASED. AND THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR THROUGH RUBBING
THE BROWN SURFACE IS FREE FROM ANY RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND NO GREEN UNDERCARD IS VISIBLE
THERE IS ONE SMALL DING TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER. THE OTHER THREE ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES AT ALL AGAINST THE SPINE, OR THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE
THE HUGE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED. THERE ARE NO CREASES AND NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES EITHER. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND JUST THE VERY TIPS OF THE TOP OF THE SPINE ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE THREE OPENING EDGES ARE ALL STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS ON EACH TO SHOW WHERE THE LP'S WERE REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION WITHOUT ANY OF THE USUAL RECORD SHAPE. THERE IS A LIGHT CREASE LINE ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS SIX PRISTINE INNER PANELS FEATURING ROGER DEAN'S ARTWORK
THE BOOKLET THAT COMES WITH THE SET IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION
FINALLY THE THREE INNER SLEEVES ALL HAVE THE YES LOGO'S ON THEM. NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASE LINES, JUST A LITTLE LIGHT AGEING
A REALLY TOP COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS RARITY
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
