THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE YELLOW STAX LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST 1-2 SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . TWO PRISTINE VINYLS

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC OTHER THAN THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STUFF IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

UNLAMINATED E.J DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO HEAVY CREASES AND NO RUBBING TO THE COLOURS.

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

THERE IS ONE TINY SLIVER OF WHUTE VISIBLE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH LIGHTLY RUBBED ACROSS THE SURFACES

THE SPINE ALSO IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND THE ONLY RUB TO THE COLOURS SHOWS A A TINY SPECK ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP, SHOWING HOW LITTLE THE LP'S HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE COVER

THE REAR SURFACE ONLY HAS TWO TINY TINY PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE, AND A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PERFECT INNER PANELS. A LITTLE RUB ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGES, AND A COUPLE OF WHITE SPECKS VISIBLE ON THE BLACK SURFACE OF THE RIGHT SIDE

THE CORRECT POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE DATE PRINTED 12/71 INDICATING THEY ARE THE RIGHT MATCH FOR THIS SET. A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES AND ONE OF THEM HAS A SMALL NICK ON THE DIE CUT HOLE. NO CREASES AND NO SEAM SPLITS

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

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