THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND COMPLETELY UNMARKED
THERE ARE 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS CLASSIC ALBUM HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE. IMPOSSIBLE AS IT SEEMS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A FEW TIMES. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE IT IS STILL FLAWLESS
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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. WITH A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION AND PRODUCTION
EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY. THERE IS NO FRYING BACON OR SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLING AT ALL ANYWHERE!!
NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS ETC.
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS ME GRADING THIS A FULL MINT PLAYTHROUGH IS THAT THERE IS A LITTLE STATIC BETWEEN SOME OF THE TRACKS IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE UNLAMINATED ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE BRIGHT COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED. THE WHITE BORDER IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST THE ODD LITTLE GREY FLECK HERE AND THERE, AND THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE ARE NO CREASE LINES AT ALL ON THE SURFACE, AND NO BENDS OR FOLDS, AND AMAZINGLY JUST TWO MINUSCULE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH STILL PERFECTLY WHITE AND REMAIN UNRUBBED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE WHITE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP ALONG BOTH EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS UNWORN AS THE FRONT AND JUST AS MAGNIFICENT, WITH JUST ONE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE.
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS, VERY WHITE AND UNCREASED, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT WRINKLES. TOTALLY UNSPLIT
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET THAT IS OFTEN MISSING IS IN MINT!!! CONDITION
THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
