THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE WHITE AND MAUVE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE WHITENESS OF THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST PERFECT. NO MARKS OR STAINS, OR SIGNS OF HANDLING, JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ON A RECORD THAT HASN'T HAD MORE THAN A COUPLE OF PLAYS. THE MAUVE LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING PRISTINE VINYL. HAS A MIRROR LIKE FINISH TO IT, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE DISC, AND EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW NATURAL EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS MOSTLY VISIBLE ON THE RUN OUT

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 LP 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

AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION

THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL, MEANING THAT WHAT PLAY THIS HAS HAD, WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO STATIC EITHER

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAY GRADE AS MINT !!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWNS STANDARDS

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

UNLAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB

A REALLY CLEAN AND MARK FREE FRONT SURFACE. THE ONLY MINOR RUB IS SHOWN JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE AS A LITTLE GREYING. THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER ALSO HAS A TINY DING

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND ONE THUMB PRESSURE POINT NEAR THE OPENING EDGE .

THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED. THERE IS A SMALL DENT IN THE REAR EDGE IN THE MIDDLE. THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE BOTTOM EDGE  HAS A LITTLE SHELF RUB SHOWING AS A FEW WHITE FLECKS OF UNDERCARD

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED.. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR ARE THERE, AND ONLY THE VERY BOTTOM SHOWS A LITTLE WHITE UNDERCARD. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS, WHICH IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FROM NEW

THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION TUCKED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE FRONT. A NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE, OR ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES THERE IS A LIGHT ARC OF RING WEAR JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A TRULY PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE UNSPLIT, UNCREASED, AND PERFECTLY FLAT. IT HAS JUST A SPECK OF GLUE AGEING TO THE TOP EDGE. IT HAS THE CORRECT DATE PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER 11-72 (NOV 1972) WHICH IS PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE ALBUM IN DECEMBER 1972

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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