THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE 2 SHADES OF BLUE ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THIS SET OF LABELS IS THE EARLIER TEXTURED STYLE NOT THE LATER SMOOTH FINISH

THERE ARE 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC THAT LOOKS NEAR FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SIGNS OF HANDLING AND PLAY.

THERE ARE SOME OF THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES AND ALSO SOME SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES AND MARKS, AND AS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR THEY DO NOT CAUSE ANY SERIOUS REPRODUCTION PROBLEMS

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 NOW DO WITH ALL  MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 STUNNING BLUES SOUND GENERATED FROM THIS VINYL IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED. DISTORTION FREE AS WELL MEANING THAT THE  CAREFUL PLAYS THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A HIFI THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT AND  BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS. IN FACT THERE ARE SO MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS PERFORMANCE THAT ANY AMOUNT OF BACKGROUND WOULD INSTANTLY BE A PROBLEM

THERE IS THE ODD SECOND OF VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE VINYL NOISE, AND ON THERE IS SOME OCCASIONAL VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, AND SOME RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS HERE AND THERE

A VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE  NEAR MINT MINUS OR EXCELLENT PLUS AT WORST

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

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE, HIPGNOSIS SINGLE SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THERE ARE 6-7 SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, PLUS ONE THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE

THE BOTTOM EDGE DOES HAVE SOME SLIGHTLY HEAVIER CREASING WITH TWO LINES, ONE AT EACH CORNER SHOWING AND RUNNING HALF AN INCH PARALLEL TO THE ACTUAL BOTTOM EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE MOSTLY LAMINATED WITH JUST THE BOTTOM CORNER TIP ENDS SHOWING SOME LIGHT RUBBING

THE SPINE HAS A FEW SEMI FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT WITH JUST A FEW SLIGHTLY ROUGH EDGES WHEN RUNNING A FINGER DOWN THE SPINE. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR UNLAMINATED SURFACE IS IN EXCELLENT ORDER, A FEW LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE, BUT NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE GREY COLOURS AND TYPEFACE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL AND VERY FLAT AND CLEAN, AND FURTHER PROOF THAT THE VINYL HAS JUST SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR YEARS  LIES WITH THE FACT THAT ONE EDGE OF THE INNER SLEEVE HAS AGED AND GONE LIGHT BROWN WHERE IT HAS SAT EXPOSED BY THE OPENING EDGE OF THE COVER. THE REST OF THE INNER IS PURE WHITE AND UNCREASED

THIS SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS

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