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 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE 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, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST THE NORMAL FEW WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES
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 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 . BAD COMPANY IS NO EXCEPTION AND THERE IS THE VERY VERY LIGHTEST TOUCH OF STATIC LIKE SOUND WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN THE SOME OF THE QUIETEST SPOTS, I.E THE LINKING GROOVES. ANYWAY THIS HAS BEEN CAPTURED IN THE RECORDING SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE LP PLAYSS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. THERE IS THE VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POP HERE AND THERE BUT THIS ALBUM SOUNDS 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 VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
A GREAT 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 OTHER THAN A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR DEEP CREASE LINES, BENDS OR FOLDS. THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A SMALL DING, AND THE TOP RIGHT ONE EVEN SMALLER.
THE RED STICKER IS STILL FIRMLY IN PLACE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
THERE ARE TWO SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE IN THE RIGHT CORNER AREA, AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM SHELF WEAR, APART FROM THE VERY CORNER TIPS WHICH SHOW A PIN PRICK OF WHITE
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 SHOWS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS . JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT PATCHES OF MILD GREYING
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS AND NO CREASES JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
