THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK & SILVER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE BLACK BASE FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE,THERE ARE 3-4 VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. WHEN PLACED UNDER A SPOTLIGHT THERE IS A LIGHT HERRINGBONE PATTERN ON SIDE ONE (NON SOUNDING) AND SOME SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES. SIDE TWO ONLY HAS A TINY PATCH OF HERRINGBONE AND AGAIN SOME WISPY HAIRLINES
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 AM CONVINCED 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 BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THIS WELSH TRIO PRODUCED SOME OF THE BEST HEAVY METAL OF THE EARLY SEVENTIES, INTERMINGLED WITH BEAUTIFUL AND GENTLE SLOWER TRACKS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I URGE YOU TO LISTEN TO THE SUPERB YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU' WHICH IS THE QUIETEST TRACK AND WILL DEMONSTRATE WHY THIS VINYL PERFORMS SO WELL
THE SOUND GENERATED IS UNDISTORTED IN ANY WAY, AND THERE IS NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OFEMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO SOUND IS JUST SUBLIME. NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS AND NO HEAVY CRACKLE ANYWHERE
ONLY DURING SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES YOU CAN HEAR A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND AND JUSY A COUPLE OF TINY TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VIRTUALLY SPOTLESS WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY PRESERVED. NO RUBBING AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE.
JUST THREE NEAR INVISIBLE TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BLUE COLOURS FULLY EXTEND FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN THE SAME SUPER CONDITION WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS ONLY
THE SPINE IS AS GOOD AS I HAVE SEEN ON THIS ALBUM. FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS ARE RETAINED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP, WITH JUST A SPECK OF BURRING AT THE TOP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IEVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN AN UNSPLIT, LIGHTLY CREASED CONDITION.
HAPPY TO GRADE THE MINT MINUS
