THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE COLOURED LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND IT

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES. THE VINYL HAS THAT FEEL ABOUT IT WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE INNER SLEEVE THAT YOU ONLY GET WITH AN UNPLAYED DISC

 

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

ISLAND/CHRYSALIS VINYL USUALLY HAS A LITTLE VINYL NOISE DUE TO THE PRESSING BUT THIS ONE HAS NONE!

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY  TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT  !!!!

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF

 

THE SLEEVE

 

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THE DEEP COLOURS ARE ALL UNRUBBED. THERE IS A SMALL DING TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP

THERE ARE FIVE MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE  BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE VERY RIGHT TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS JUST A TINY SPECK OF WHITE ON BOTH CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE BLACK BASE COLOUR HAS MICROSCOPIC RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE  FRONT WITH JUST FOUR LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE.

THE  WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS  ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO MARKS OR STAINS,

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!

 

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

GARRY
