THE RECORD
SUPERB AUDIO - PLEASE LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS
THE LABELS
THE FAMOUS RED AND PLUM ATLANTIC LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE TWO COLOURED SECTIONS ARE RICH AND DEEP IN COLOUR, AND THE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS REMAIN TOTALLY UNWORN. THE WHITE BAND ACCROSS THE MIDDLE IS VERY WHITE, AND NOT SOILED LIKE A LOT YOU WILL SEE. THERE ARE BUT TWO REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATING THAT THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED LESS THAN 3 TIMES, AND IN ADDITION THERE IS STILL SOME RESIDUAL VINYL SHARDS ATTACHED TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, FURTHER ADDING TO THE BARELY PLAYED STATUS
THE VINYLTHA STUNNING DEEP BLACK GLOSSY VINYL WHICH LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE HANDLING LINES BUT THATS BEING VERY PICKY
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 SECTIONS FROM THE LP, WHICH CONSISTS OF BOTH OPENING TRACKS TO EACH SIDE INCLUDING THE DEAD WAX, AND ONE FURTHER TRACK FROM EACH SIDE INCLUDING THE PRECEEDING RUN IN. THIS SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO UNDERSTAND HOW CLEAN THE SOUND IS
THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS PURE "FIRST PRESS" AND DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS EVER!!
AS THE OPENING TRACK STARTS TO PLAY IT IS CLEAR THAT THE LP IS PLAYING WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED IF IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS WORN OR FAR TOO HEAVY. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND THE SOUND IS PERFECTLY CLEAN. . THIS SUPERB PERFORMANCE CONTINUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, THERE IS THE VERY OCCASIONAL BIT OF LIGHT STATIS AND ONE OR TWO MINI LITTLE POPS HERE AND THERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS THE E.J.DAY SLEEVE
A VERY HARD SLEEVE TO GET IN GREAT CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT ONLY UNLAMINATED, BUT HEAVILY REXTURED, AND THIS MEANS COLOUR LOSS USUALLY AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT A LOT OF THESE SLEEVES THE BROWN SURFACE APPEARS MOTTLED WITH WHITE FLECKS. THIS IS JUST WHERE THE TEXTURED HIGH PINTS HAVE WORN AND SHOWING THE WHITE BELOW. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE WITH BARELY ANY COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS A VERY LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINE BOTTOM LEFT BUT THAT IS ALL THAT MARS THE FRONT SURFACE , WHICH INCIDENTALLY HAS A PERFECTLY ADHERED PASTE ON PICTURE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF SHELF WEAR, AND IT IS CLEAR THIS HAS BEEN HOUSED IN AN OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW. THE SPINE IS INCREDIBLE, BECAUSE IT HAS REMAINED FLAT AND AGAIN AMAZINGLY FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS. THIS IS JUST UNHEARD OF. THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND THE REAR SURFACE EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT AND TO MY AMAZEMENT NO RINGWEAR. OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A SLEEVE THAT DOESN'T WANT TO LIE FLAT. THIS SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN OPENED, AND FURTHER ADDS TO THE ARGUMENT THAT THE SLEEVE WAS HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. IT IS A TRULY AMAXING COVER AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLEACTION, AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING IT EXCELLENT PLUS
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. VIRTUALLY NO CREASES WHATSOEVER, AND NO SPLITS, JUST A SMALL TEAR ON ONE INNER RIM
I
THE WOULD BE HARD TO UPGRADE FROM
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
