THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND SILVER STEREO LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.THE BLUE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNBLEMISHED, WHILST THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS ALL PRSITINE AND UNRUBBED .THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN, AND A CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS JUST A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES 

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THE DISC SHOWS NO SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NO MORE THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE.

PLAYING THE RECORD

WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE  INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON

THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS

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

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES BECAUSE THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS QUITE BRILLIANT, AND THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM.

WE ARE REALLY DELIGHTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VINYL AS WE WERE EXPECTING A LITTLE OF THE DECCA VINYL NOISE THAT IS INHERENT IN MANY DISCS OF THIS AGE, BUT NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS.

THERE IS A LITTLE ODD AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, BUT EXTREEMLY HARD TO DETECT. ALSO NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY LITTLE STATIC POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

WE HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SOUND QUALITY MINT MINUS!!!

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!!!!

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS ROBERT STACE LAMINATED SINGLE UK SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THE LAMINATE STILL SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR, JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE JUST FIVE REALLY  SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE PERFECT LAMINATE WHICH RUNS UNBROKEN FROM CORNER TO CORNER , AND NO RUBBING EVEN TO ANY OF THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS STILL FLAT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE LAMINATE IS ALL PERFECT, AND THEBLUE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND ALL LEGIBLE. THE  ENDS HAVE NO RUBBING TO THEM WHATSOEVER

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL  SHARP AND ONLY HAS A FEW TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AGAIN GLEAMING LAMINATE, AND JUST TFOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE 

THE BLACK PICTURE INSERT SHEET IS ABSOLUTELY MINT!!!

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNSPLIT . NO CREASES WHATSOEVER.

WE ARE  HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
