INCREDIBLE BARELY PLAYED CONDITION
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PURPLE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, SIDE 3 HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE WHITE SURFACE NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE MISSING, BUT OTHERWISE EVERYTHING IS AS MINT AS YOU WOULD WANT. THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
BEING A FIRST PRESS THE 'GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' IS WORDED AROUND THE RIM. LATER PRESSES HAD 'EMI RECORDS' IN ITS PLACE
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 S,ALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN ON A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
superb pair of first press discs. both gleam like new, and there are no marks or blemishes on any side of the surfaces. even when offered up to intense illimination there is nothing to see apart from the odd wispy hairline
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 SEVEN 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 DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. I HAVE TRIED TO CAPTURE SOME OF THE QUIETER MOMENTS AS WELL AS THE RAW POWER OF THE PURPLE SOUND.
IN PARTICULAR ITS WORTH LISTENING TO CHILD IN TIME AS THIS STARTS VERY QUIETLY AND GIVES A REAL FLAVOUR OF THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL
IT PLAYS SUPERBLY AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN THE VERY ODD LITTLE DUST POP HERE AND THERE, CERATINLY NO BACKGOUND CRACKLE AT ALL. SO TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED GATEFOLD IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE FIRST THING TO NOTICE IS THE FACT THAT THE SLEEVE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. I COMPARED IT TO MY OWN COPY AND IT OUTSHINES MINE BY A MILE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES. THERE ARE 4 SMALL ONES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND THE OPENING EDGE HAS WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A SMALL CRIMP ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN, IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE IT WAS SO TIGHTLY FITTED INTO THE PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE THAT HOUSED IT FROM NEW THAT IN ORDER TO REMOVE IT, SO EXTRA PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO EXTRACT IT. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICS THOUGH.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL
THE SPINE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT, AND THE TYPEFACE LEGIBLE COMPLETELY
THE REAR SURFACE IS ONCE AGAIN IMMACULATE WITH AN ULTRA GLOSSY SHEEN. THIS SIDE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INTERIOR
THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNERS ARE ALL INTACT AND UNSPLIT
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS TO NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
