THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. BOTH COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE BLUE BAND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE,THERE ARE 4-5 VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. THE SURFACE IS SPOTLESS UNDER NORMAL LIGHT AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WIPSY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN. CLEARLY THIS LP HAS BEEN HANDLED AND PLAYED WITH GREAT CARE
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 FOUR 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 SUPERB PERFORMANCE
WHAT YOU SHOULD HEAR IS A VERY CLEAN, CLEAR REPRODUCTION, WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND NOISE. THE CLARITY OF SOUND IS EXCEPTIONAL. I HAVE RECORDED TWO OF THE QUITER TRACKS SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR MORE OF THE SILENT PARTS. THERE IS JUST THE VERY OCCASIONAL TINY DUST POP HERE AND THERE, AND PERHAPS AN ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED ISSUE OF THIS FIRST PRESS SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.THE SLEEVE SHOWS MILD TRACES OF HANDLING AND A LIGHT OUTLINE OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE VERY TOP OF THE SLEEVE THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ALSO SHOW MINIMAL SHELF WEAR AS DOES THE SPINE BUT THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY VERY SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED A FEW TIMES. THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME EXCELLENT CONDITION, AGAIN WITH JUST A LIGHT TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
