THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND BLACK COLUMBIA LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE BLUE COLUMBIA LOGO IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE AND THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND OR NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL IS JUST PRISTINE, GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND HAS NO MARKS ON IT WHATSOEVER, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. JUST BY PULLING IT FROM THE INNER SLEEVE I COULD TELL I HAD SOMETHING RATHER SPECIAL HERE.
I WAS IN TWO MINDS AS TO WHETHER I SHOULD PLAY THE VINYL, BUT MY ONE VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL CERTAINLY NOT HARM THIS SUPERB VINYL
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, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS THAT ON OFFER. THE REPORDUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMOSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. THERE IS NO CRACKLING NOR CLICKS AND IF I WAS TO BE VERY PICKY THEN THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE SOUND IN A COUPLE OF THE QUIETEST SPOTS, AND THE VERY ODD DUST POP OR TWO, WHICH YOU CAN GET ON ANY LP EVEN IF IT HASN'T BEEN PLAYED. DON'T FORGET THIS HAS SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 46 YEARS!!!
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE FLIPBACKED SINGLE SLEEVE WITH A LAMINATED FRONT AND NON LAMINATED REAR
THE FRONT SURFACE JUST SPARKLES. IT HAS AVERY HIGHLY POLISHED FINISH TO THE SURFACE. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS. THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE OF ANY SHELF WEAR.
THE SPINE HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS.
THE PICTURE PANELS ARE ALL IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS
THE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. THIS HAS ALL OF THE INFO REGARDING THE FILM CREDITS AND THE FULL TRACK LISTING. THERE ARE NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
