THE LABELS
THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PASTEL GREEN COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 3-4 NEAR TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN
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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR EARLY LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY DURING SOME OF THE QUIETEST MOMENTS, AND NO MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM NEAR MINT MINUS !!!
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SINGLE LAMINATED SLEEVE FROM SHOREWOOD
THE FRONT SURFACE IS GLEAMING. AND UNUSUALLY FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. INCREDIBLY NOT EVEN ONE LAMINATE LINE DOWN THE SPINE. NOR ARE THERE ANY ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. A VERY HIGHLY POLISHED SPARKLING LAMINATED SURFACE, WITH JUST A THIN SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT CLOSE TO THE SPINE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND RUNS NICELY FROM CORNER TO CORNER
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE LAMINATE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND UNBLEMISHED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION.NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, JUST ONE TINY LINE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THAT SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT BY THE SPINE
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, AS IS THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE , WHICH IS UNSPLIT. TOTALLY WHITE AND UNCREASED
THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT WITH EASE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
