THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THESE MONO UNITED ARTIST LABELS DIFFER FROM THE OTHERS OF ITS ERA BY BEING JET BLACK RATHER THAN THE BUFF COLOUR THAT ALL OF THE OTHERS WERE. THE BLACK SURFACE ON BOTH LABELS IS PRISTINE AND UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER UA LOGO AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY AND EVEN A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, JUST A COUPLE OF STRETCH LINES FROM THE FACTORY PRESS
THE VINYL
THE DISC IS IN MINT UNMARKED CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE IT HAS JUST BEEN PRESSED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS
EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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 WHOLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID
THIS IS SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS RARE DEBUT LP PLAYS TO PERFECTION BOTH SIDES. THE FACT THAT THE RECORDING IS IN MONO I BELIEVE ENHANCES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VINYL AND MAKES THE RECORDING LOUDER THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN STEREO.
THE ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND CERTAINLY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES .
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS!!!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN TRULY INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND REALLY SPARKLES LIKE NEW. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS.
EVEN THE TINY LAMINATE LINES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST TWO MINUSCULE ONES. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.THERE ARE TWO LIGHT RAISED AREAS ON THE BOTTOM EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS A FEW TINY CHIPS TO THE LAMINATE, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS JUST A COUPLE
THE SPINE IS JUST PRISTINE. NOT ONE JOT OF LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE. IT IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE PRISTINE NO RUB NOTHING!!!!
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP,WITH JUST SOME SMALL SPECKS OF BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST LIKE THE FRONT. VERY GLOSSY WITH THREE SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, AND A FEW ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS STILL AS WHITE AS WHEN NEW, AND HAS NO SPLITS, JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASE LINES ACROSS A COUPLE OF THE CORNERS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
