STATUS QUO - BLUE FOR YOU

IN MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS ONE PLAY !!!! CONDITION

SUPERB ORIGINAL GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN MINT CONDITION

MAGNIFICENT COPY

TO LISTEN TO THE LP PLEASE PRESS THE BUTTONS BELOW (ONE PER SIDE) THE RECORDING WILL TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO LOAD

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE  AND I AM CERTAIN THAT THE LP HAS REMAINED JUST ONCE PLAYED UNTIL TODAY. 

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE (other than a few tiny wispy hairlines and a light embedded non sounding dull streak)

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 JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

A TRULY MINT MINUS REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END. THE SILENT BITS ARE ALL SILENT AND THE MUSIC IS FAULTLESS

NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES ANYWHERE. AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL

ALL YOU WILL HEAR I A SPECK OR TWO OF LIGHT STATIC IN A FEW OF THE QUIETEST MOMENTS

NO DUST POPS

A TRULY INVESTMENT GRADE VINYL AND SLEEVE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AS IT'S YOUR OPINION THAT COUNTS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED , GATEFOLD FROM HOWARDS PRINTERS

THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A PRIZED COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. DUE WHOLLY TO THE UNLAMINATED  SURFACE RUBBING ALL TO EASILY.PLUS THE CHROME EFFECT TYPEFACE ON THE BACK GETTING SEVERELY SCRATCHED.

THIS PARTICULAR SET HAS BEEN HOUSED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER AND IN IN STUNNING ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH AN INNER SLEEVE TO MATCH.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS PRISTINE. THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO FOLD OR BENDS, AND NO MARKS OR STAINS.

ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NOR FOR THAT MATTER ANY ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH PRISTONE CORNER TIP ENDS

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ALL EIGHT CORNER TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNBLEMISHED

WHAT IS CLEAR IS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AT ANY POINT. ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE .PRISTINE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THE TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS THAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH THE LP BEING REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND UNBLEMISHED AS THE FRONT. THE CHROME LETTERING AT THE TOP HAS NO SCRATCHES AT ALL, JUST THE USUAL ODD SPECK OF DULLING

THE CHROME TRACKLISTING AND 'FROM THE MAKERS OF' PICTURES ARE BOTH PERFECT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER SURFACE. BOTH PANELS ARE MINT AND IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THE GATEFOLD HASN'T BEEN OPENED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO SEAM SPLITS, AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD IMPRESSION. TRULY OUTSTANDING.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT

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