THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DEEP REDLABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. .FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS INCREDIBLE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. I DAY LIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN
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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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
THIS MONO RECORDING PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OFLIGHT STATIC EITHER
ALL THAT I HEARD WAS A COUPLE OF RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS ON EACH SIDE.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL JAMES UPTON LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE. THE LAMINATE IS ALL INTACT , ALTHOUGH THERE IS A STRIP OF LAMINATE LIFT RUNNING DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE SPINE
THERE ARE 5 SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND TWO THIN THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE WAFER THIN TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP AND THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING AT ALL ON THE TOP EDGE, AND JUST A SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END.
THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LAMINATED AND HAS THE TAPERED ENDS. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ON AN OTHERWISE FLAT SURFACE, PIN PRICK RUBBED TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS, WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE SPINE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS TO THE FRONT EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE AND AL OF THE TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED. THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF HANDLING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES. THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. FLAT AND CLEAN AND TOTALLY UNSPLIT. A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES, AND SOME VERY LIGHT NATURAL AGEING
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
