THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE CHARCOAL GREY/BLACK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC THAT LOOKS NEAR FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS SOME PATCHY DULLNES TO PARTS OF THE VINYL, THAT HAVE NO EFFECT HOWEVER ON THE PLAYTHROUGH. A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES ARE ALSO VISIBLE
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 PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A HIFI THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
IN FACT THE ORIGINAL OWNER PURCHASED 'GOLDRING' ANTI-STATIC INNER SLEEVES FOR HIS RECORDS AND PLACED THEM INSIDE SO THAT NO HARM WOULD COME TO HIS COLLECTION. THIS DISC HAS SAT INSIDE SINCE NEW AFTER THE ONE AND ONLY PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT ANY 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 NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY STATIC AT ANY POINT, NOT EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD JUST THREE LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
A FLAWLESS AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE 100% MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
STIFF CARDED US STYLE ALBUM SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE HAS THE 'EXPORT' HOLE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. FORTUNATELY UNLIKE SOME IT IS SMALL AND PERFECTLY ROUND
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE COLOUR LIKE MOST US SLEEVE HAS STARTED TO RUB A LITTLE AROUND THE EDGES, BUT CERTAINLY NO HEAVY RINGWEAR
THE ONLY SMALL LINES ARE ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER. NONE ALONG ANY OF THE EDGES
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A LITTLE PAPER WEAR AND CRACKING
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. HOWEVER THE PAPER AT THE TOP HAS CRACKED AND FLAKED OFF THE CARD. THE REST OF THE SPINE IS OK WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE THICK CARD OPENING EDGE IS STILL VIRTUALLY UNBLEMISHED WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY BURRED SPECKS VISIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT IS IN CLEAN CONDITION AND AGAIN NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR HERE
THE GOLDRING ANTI STATIC INNER SITS INSIDE THIS PLAIN SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
