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 ZERO SPIDER LINES 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, AND A LITTLE DULLING IN PATCHES
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 AND THIS ONE HAS A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE STUFF IN A COUPLE OF QUIET PASSAGES ONLY
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN 2-3 TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM NEAR 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 ARE JUST TWO TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE IF ANGLED AWAY INTO A STRONG LIGHT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE PRISTINE COLOUR ALL THE WAY ALONG THE SURFACE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB SHOWING ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE LILAC BASE COLOUR IS VIRTUALLY UNBLEMISHED WITH JUST A SMALL SPECK OF SCUFFING ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE BY THE DATE, AND A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE TIP ENDS.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE MOSTLY ON THE TOP AND OPENING EDGES
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS IN PERFECT UNSPLIT, UNCREASED CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
