THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
CBS ORANGE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. CLEARLY A WELL CARED FOR 41 YEAR OLD ALBUM
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1-2 MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT AND IS MADE OF THE VERY HEAVY VINYL THAT MOST LATE 60'S RECORDINGS WERE PRESSED ON.IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN
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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EITHER, EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I DON'T BELIEVE I HEARD ANY DUST POPS EITHER ANYWHERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING DISC MINT!!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SHOREWOOD GATFOLD SLEEVE
THE GREYS, BLACKS ON THE FRONT SURFACE ARE MAGNIFICENT. NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER TO THESE DELICATE COLOURS AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS.
THERE ARE FOUR NEAR INVISIBLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NONE EITHER ALONG THE RIGHT EDGE.
THERE IS A VERY LIGHT SLIVER OF BROWNING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT EDGES THROUGH AGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP ENDS SHOWING A SLIGHT ROUGHNESS TO IT
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH A JUST A FEW LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ALONG THE EDGES. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE. THE SURFACE HAS LIGHTLY AGED, BUT THERE IS NO DAMAGE AT ALL
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, IT IS INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD BY THE SPINE AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE INNER SURFACE OF THE SPINE IS ALSO IMMACULATE AND UNDAMAGED
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A FEW LIGHT BROWN SPECKS OF AGEING AND HANDLING. BUT STILL REMAINS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES
THE ORIGINAL CBS ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO SPLITS OR CREASES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
