THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE  ORANGE/RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT MINT!! CONDITION. THE  BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.

THE BLACK LOGO AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THIS IS THE EARLIEST GERMAN PRESS

EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I AM UNABLE TO SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE SPIDER LINE

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN FLAWLESS CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED AND THERE IS NO FOGGING OR ANY MARKS  EITHER . IT IS A ROCK SOLID HEAVYWEIGHT DISC WITH VIRTUALLY NO FLEX

WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE TINY TINY LITTLE MARK ON SIDE TWO WHICH CAUSES TWO BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE TICS ON 3RD STONE FROM THE SUN. SIDE ONE IS UNMARKED APART FROM ONE TOTALLY NON SOUNDING TINY ANGEL HAIRLINE

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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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

I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THE REPRODUCTION FROM THIS ALBUM IS JUST BRILLIANT. PURE FIRST PRESS AND THE DISC PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. TRYING TO FIND A GREAT COPY OF THIS ALBUM IS VERY HARD  AND MOST COPIES ARE TRASHED WITH SLEEVES TO MATCH. HERE WE HAVE WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A NEAR FAULTLESS PERFORMANCE.

THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE  THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED EITHER.

THERE IS NO  BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE LINKING GROOVES 

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO SOUND IS IMMENSE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED. A REAL LOUD CUT TO THE PRODUCTION ON THIS RECORDING.

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE STATIC TICS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS BEAUTIFUL VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!

I BELIEVE THIS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST COPIES OF THIS ALBUM YOU WILL EVER FIND!!!

THE SLEEVE

 

I HAVE HAD MANY COPIES OF THIS ALBUM PASS THROUGH MY HANDS, BUT THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT QUESTION IS THE BEST EVER. BEING FULLY LAMINATED UNLIKE THE UK ISSUE IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOURS. WHEREAS THE UK SLEEVE IS UN-LAMINATED IN THE BACK AND RUBS, THE FULLY LAMINATED GERMAN ISSUE DOES NOT

TO FIND A HALF DECENT SLEEVE IS RARE, BUT TO FIND ONE THAT HAS BEEN PRESERVED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW IS JUST INCREDIBLE. 

THE SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS BADLY FROM CREASING AND RING WEAR, BUT THIS COPY HAS ABSOLUTELY NO HEAVY CREASES AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE FOR THAT MATTER.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND JUST GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO BENDS, AND ABSOLUTELY NO RING WEAR OR EVEN MILD RECORD SHAPE. .

THERE ARE THREE MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, AND ONE LONGER ONE RIGHT AT THE TOP. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE JUST ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, ANDABSOLUTELY ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, PERFECT LAMINATE AND NO DAMAGE, AND THIS IS DUE TO THE SLEEVE RESIDING INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SINCE 1967.

THE SPINE IS JUST  PERFECT. LAMINATED AND WAFER THIN, IT IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE  THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS

THE  OPENING EDGE  IS RAZOR SHARP ,NO THUMB NAIL NICKS AND NO BURRING

THE REAR SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT SURFACE

THE  POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR SEAM SPLITS. ALITTLE LIGHT FOXING TO ONE EDGE

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES  MINT MINUS!!!

 

 

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