THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. 

THE BASE COLOURRICH AND VIBRANTAND NOT SOILED AT ALL. 

THE BLUE TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.  

THERE ARE 1-2 SPIDER LINES BY EACH HOLE

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE ONE TINY NON SOUNDING DULL SPOT BUT THATS ALL

THE TEST PLAY

THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO PERFECTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTOTION ANYWHERE, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS ALL THE WAY. JUST CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL

THE DELICATE SOUNDS ARE JUST PERFECT. 

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

TOTALLY SILENT IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND QUIET PASSAGES

NO TICS OR POPS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM THE E.J.DAY GROUP WHICH IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.

SO MANY OF THESE ORIGINAL HAVE RUBBING TO THE DELICATE COLOURS THAT TO FIND ONE IN THIS CONDITION IS QUITE HARD

WHEN THIS ALBUM FIRST CAME OUT THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE HAD THE BLUE HORIZON LOGO ON THE BACK IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS DECIDED TO CHANGE TO THE PARENT COMPANY POLYDOR. THE SLEEVES WERE PRINTED BEFORE THE BLUE HORIZON LABELLED ALBUMS RAN 

THIS ONE HOWEVER IS THE ORIGINAL BLUE HORIZON SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO CREASES OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE THREE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS UNRUBBED OR SHELFWORN, FULL COLOUR WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT TIP END

 THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A  LITTLE RUB TO THE CORNERS

THE SPINE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. NO SQUASHING AND NO RUBBING. ALL THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE

THE OPENING EDGE ONLY HAS A TINY BIT OF FEATHERING

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED. AGAIN NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. AND JUST FOUR PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE

THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT GRADES NEAR MINT

 

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