THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PRESS AND CAN BE IDENTIFIED EASILY BY THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO EMI BOX ON THE LABEL

 THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS  100% PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE ARE ABOUT 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SMALL WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES SEEN. NO SCUFFS OR FEELABLE SCRATCHES

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 HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE VINYL PLAYS ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. WITH AN INCREDIBLE LOUD CUT.THIS IS A GREAT PROGRESSIVE SOUND GENERATED BY THIS VINYL

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES

I CANNOT FAULT THE CLARITY OF THE PERFORMANCE IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, 

 AS IMPORTANTLY THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING, AND THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS, STICKS JUMPS ETC

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN SOME OF THE SILENT PASSAGES IS SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE LOW LEVEL NOISE AND SOME LIGHT TICS

MORESO DURONG THE FIRST HALF OF EACH SIDE

HOWEVER THE OVERALL SOUND PRODUCCED FROM THE VINYL IS OUTSTANDING

BUT MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT THAT WAY

THE AUDIO GRADES

EX TO EX+

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB LAMINATED E.J DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE FRONT SURFACE 

THE LAMINATE HAS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, JUST A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS

THERE ARE FIVE LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE, JUST TWO TINY ONES ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR OR ON THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOPE EDGES ARE SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH ALL THE WAY ACROSS WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY ROUGH SPECKS WHEN RUNNING A FINGER ALONG THE SURFACE, AND A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP

THE OPENING EDGE IS  RAZOR SHARP SHOWING THAT THE LP HASN'T BEEN PULLED FROM THE COVER VERY OFTEN AS THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ON THE EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE IS A RICH AND VIBRANT AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO LAMINATE DAMAGE, JUST A FEW EDGE PRESSURE LINES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR MINT CONDITION INNER SURFACE. THERE IS JUST THE LIGHTEST BIT OF HANDLING EVIDENCE TO THE EDGES

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED HARVEST INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT ORIGINAL CONDITION. FEW TINY CREASE LINES AND SOME LIGHT GLUE AGEING

I HAVE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX++

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