THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE LIGHT BROWN RSO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

A MAGNIFICENT SET OF LABELS IN MINT CONDITION. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE. 

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING VINYL, LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL EXAMPLE

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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

THE LP PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOT E HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

THERE IS THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES 

NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS VINYL GRADES MINT 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND!!

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED ROBOR GATEFOLD SLEEVE SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND HAS RICH VIBRANT COLOURS

THERE IS A LIGHT BAND OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE RESIDUE ACROSS THE SLEEVE ABOUT ONE INCH INDER THE TOP EDGE. MOST VISIBLE TO THE LEFT OF THE TREE AND RIGHT ON THE LETTER 'N'

THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THE ONLY MINUSCULE EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING IS A LITTLE ON THE BOTTOM CORNERS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, THERE IS A TINY PAPER SPLIT  RUNNING THROUGH 'CLAPTON' BUT OTHER THAN THIS NO WEAR AT ALL

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER,

THE REAR SURFACE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM PRESSURE LINES LIKE THE FRONT. THAT BAND OF RESIDUE APPEARS ON THE REAR RIGHT SECTION JUST BELOW THE TOP EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL  INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL, AND UNCREASED, AND THIS AGAIN SHOWS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT EX+++

I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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