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 IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE ON ONE SIDE OF THE LABEL INDICATING THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL VINYL HAS ONLY EVER HAD ONE CAREFUL PLAY 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 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 VERY 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'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. 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 TRULY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED FRAGILE 1ST PRESS ROBOR GATEFOLD SLEEVE
AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED IT HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE PLASTIC FROM NEW AND HAS ONLY BEEN TAKEN OUT ONCE TO PLAY THE RECORD. WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A PRISTINE ' AS NEW ' SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE BLACK SURFACE AND THUS NO COLOUR LOSS AT ALL. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, BENDS OR DINGS, AND ASTOUNDINGLY JUST ONE RIDICULOUSLY SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE . THERE IS ONE PIN PRICK DENT THTREE INCHES ABOVE THE LETTER A
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM AY SHELF WEAR,APART FROM THE VERY CORNER TIPS BOTTOM RIGHT AND LEFT
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 AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT.
