THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE CBS LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS JUST ONESMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLES INDICATING THAT THIS SET HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE
THE VINYL
TWO GLEAMING FIRST PRESS DISCS, THAT LOOK AS GOOD AS THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED. IT IS CLEAR THAT THESE LP'S HAVE HARDLY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. THE VINYL IS JUST STUNNING, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY WISPS
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 EIGHT THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS PERFORMANCE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS QUITE MAGNIFICENT. CRISP CLEAN AND VERY CLEAR, WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR CLICKING. IF I AM BEING PICKY THEN THERE IS THE VERY VERY ODD LITTLE DUST POP IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS, AND MAYBE A SECOND OF RANDOM STATIC HERE AND THERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT, APART FROM THE RESIDUE OF A STICKER IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS, DENTS ETC. THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY OF THE SMALL LINES THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY GET NEAR THE SPINE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE MOST MINIMAL AMOUNT OF SHELF WEAR.
THE SPINE HAS NONE AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY VERY WHITE STILL WITH JUST A TRACE OF HANDLING TO THIS SURFACE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS STAMPED 'PROMO COPY NOT FOR RESALE'
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE TWO INNER SURFACES WHICH ARE BOTH IN TOP CONDITION
THE TWO ADVERTISING INNERS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. FLAT AND BARELY A CREASE LINE ON THEM
THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY DEPICT WHY THIS LP SET IS IN THE MAGNIFICENT CONDITION THAT IT IS
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
