THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE RED BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SPIDER LINES ON ONE SIDE OF THE LABEL INDICATING THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL VINYL HAS ONLY EVER HAD A FEW CAREFUL PLAYS FROM NEW

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THERE ARE NO SURFACE MARKS TO BE SEEN WHATSOEVER IN DAYLIGHT WHERE IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. WHEN PLACED UNDER  UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND WITHDRAWAL LINES FROM THE PAPER SLEEVE. ALL SURFACE AND MOSTLY NON SOUNDING

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 LOVE 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

ISLAND VINYL IS NOTORIOUS FOR 'VINYL NOISE' WITH MOST PRESSINGS HAVING THIS . THIS LP HOWEVER HAS NONE OF THAT ISLAND EMBEDDED NOISE AT ALL

THE LP'S PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. 

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS, STICKS OR JUMPS

THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL SPECK OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

THERE IS THE VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POP HERE AND THERE  

BUT THIS ALBUM SOUNDS VIRTUALLY AS GOOD NOW AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED, WITH A SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION, AND EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY, AND TOTALLY DISTORTION FREE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO PERFORMANCE AS NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

A TRULY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED FRAGILE 1ST PRESS ROBOR GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE BLACK SURFACE AND THUS NO COLOUR LOSS AT ALL, OTHER THAN A VERY MILD SHADOW OF GREYING AROUND THE EDGES

 THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, BENDS OR DINGS.

THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL VERY SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM AY SHELF WEAR. THE BLACK SURFACE IS ONLY RUBBED AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNERS

THE SPINE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT UNRUBBED WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE.ABSOLOUTELY NO SQUASHING WHATSOEVER

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND TOTALLY AS NEW. NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK

THE REAR SURFACE  IS ALMOST AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, WITH A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE VISIBLE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A 100% PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS WITH NO COLOUR LOSS AGAIN

THE ORIGINL PLAIN INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN  TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS AND NO CREASES OR WEAR TO THE OPENING EDGE, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
