THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE CBS LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS, AND NO RUBBING TO EITHER THE COLOUR, ALL THE BLACK TYPEFACE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 SMALLSPIDER LINES, SHOWING THAT THIS VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THIS FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, HAS A DEEP RICH SHEEN, IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES AND A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
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 THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
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.
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS VINYL HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN PLAYED ON A HI-FI SYSTEM THAT HAD CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND BALANCED, AND UNWORN STYLUS.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, AND JUST A ONE OR TWO TINY LITTLE BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC TICS, AND THE ODD SECOND OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN JUST A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I AM AM DELIGHTED TO GRADE THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION OF THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
E.J DAY FRONT LAMINATED, REAR UN-LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THERE IS A HEAVY CREASE LINE ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER WHICH HAS DEVALUED THE SLEEVE FROM A NEAR MINT GRADE. BECAUSE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS NEAR PERFECT
SO PART FROM THE CREASE LINE, THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A VERY GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE LAMINATE AND THERE IS NO PEEL OF FLAKE OR LAMINATE LIFT EITHER. THERE ARE TWO OTHER LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, SIX ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. AND TWO NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE CORNERS ARE ALSO SHARP APART FROM THE BOTTOM LEFT ONE WHICH HAS A SMALL DING
THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SURFACE AND BOTH CORNER TIPS ARE UN-BLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE UNLAMINATED SPINE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY UN-SQUASHED. USUALLY THESE UNLAMINATED SPINES RUB BADLY, BUT THIS ONE HAS ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT CONDITION
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE DAY THAT THIS SLEEVE WAS PUT TOGETHER.
THE UNLAMINATED WHITE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND BARELY A LIGHT SHADOW OF HANDLING ON THE OPENING EDGE
THE PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE, IS IN CLEAN CONDITION, NO SPLITS AND JUST A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION, ONE CORNER CREASE, AND A LITTLE AGEING TO THE EDGES
THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
