BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST - ONCE AGAIN
SUPERB AUDIO THROUGH THE QUIET PASSAGES - EX+ / NM
NEAR MINT GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE
SO VERY MANY QUIET PASSAGES IN THIS ALBUM, AND THEREFORE VERY VERY HARD TO FIND A COPY THAT IS FREE FROM BACKGROUND NOISES. THIS ONE IS SUPERB ALMOST NEAR MINT
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN NICE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT FOXING MOTTLE VISIBLE
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE JUST A FEW VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS 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.
WITH BJH'S MUSIC YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT ANY BACKGROUND WILL BE HEARD THROUGH THE MANY MANY QUIET PASSAGES.
THIS RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A FEW TINY SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW RANDOM SILENT PASSAGES
AND 2-3 VERY TINY STATIC TICS / DUST POPS
A SENSATIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL LOOKING AND SOUNDING RECORD
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO EX+/NEAR MINT
TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT MIRROR FINISH TO THIS LAMINATED GATEFOLD FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE.
THE FRONT SURFACE JUST SPARKLES. IT HAS AVERY HIGHLY POLISHED FINISH TO THE SURFACE.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
JUST TWO REALLY SMALL LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE EDGE.
NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. TWO TINY ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECT AND THE CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LAMINATED. NO SQUASHES AND NO WEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AT THE VERY TOP
THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AVERY VERY WHITE NON LAMINATED SURFACE, WITH SOME VERY PALE FOXING ON THE OUTER EDGES
THE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. PERFECT CONDITION AND NO SEAM SPLITS
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
