THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SUPERB SHOCKING BLUE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,WHICH ACTUALLY STILL HAS SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE FROM THE PRESSING PLANT, AND ALL OF THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS INCREDIBLE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE FIRST PRESS ALBUM CAN EASILY BE TOLD BY THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL USED IN THE PRESSING, THIS COPY IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. STILL RETAINS ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ANY HANDLING MARKS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD CAUSE A PROBLEM ON THE PLAYTHROUGH. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY SOME VERY FEINT WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, AND A FEW DULLISH EMBEDDED AND NON SOUNDING SPECKLES NEAR THE OUTER RIM
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM VERY CERTAIN THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP'S 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.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND JUST A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW SILENT PASSAGES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 4-5 MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS, AFTER ALL THAT WHY THE RECORDING IS HERE
THE SLEEVE
CLOUT & BAKER LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
JUST AN INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THIS EASILY SOILED SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNCREASED. THE SHRINK WRAP IS TIGHT AGAINST THE SLEEVE BUT NOT TIGHT ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE.
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE
NO LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDHE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE JUST THREE TINY LITTLE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NOT ONE SPECK OF WEAR WHICH RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER , AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. AGAIN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE REAR SURFACES EXACTLY LIKE THE FRONT AND IS FREE FROM ANY IMPERFECTION.
THE ORIGINAL DECCA INNER POLY LINED SLEEVE IS TOTALLY FLAT, CLEAN AND UNCREASED .
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
