THE LABELS
THE JET LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, . THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORD HAS HAD VERY LIMITED PLAY IN THE 37 YEARS SINCE IT WAS RELEASED
THE VINYL
THE DISC HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW 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 FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS PERFECT STEREO REPRODUCTION. THIS SHOWS THAT THE ONE OR TWO PLAYS THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1981 WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
CLEAR AND CRISP SOUND THAT PAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLESTATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY STATIC TIC THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THE VINYL GRADES MINT FOR THE AUDIO
TAKE A VERY GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE BY SHOREWOOD
THE FRONT SURFACE IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE IS A TINY LITTLE PAPER SNAG NEAR THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE A STICKLY LABEL ONCE WAS AND A LITTLE LABEL RESIDUE ALSO IN THAT PLACE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES, AND THE CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE THREE TINY LITTLE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEARS THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE UNDER THE TOP EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, WITH JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE AT THE VERY TIP OF THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH A COUPLE OF TINY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. ALL OF THE BLACK COLOUR IS THERE AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE ON THE TOP EDGE NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER
THE ORIGINAL ISSUE CARD INNER WITH THE THUMB NOTCH IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. NO CREASES AND NO CREASE LINES
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
