THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS NEATLY PENNED HIS INITIALS ONTO THE LABEL
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS LP HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIME EVER!!! . IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES , AND A FEW ULTRA FINE SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES
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, BECAUSE 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 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.
THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.THIS SHOWS THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
THERE IS A LITTLE VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD DURING SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, AND NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT ++++
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOUR SELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB!!. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS ETC. EVEN THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST SEVEN REALLY TINY ONES, AND THERE ARE NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES. THERE IS ONE SMALL THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS PERFECTLY LAMINATED WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE. NO RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS EITHER. THE BOTTOM EDGE JUST HAS A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE LAMINATE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END SHOWS A SPECK OF RUB. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS HIGHLY POLISHED AS THE FRONT, AND AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR LINES. JUST A FEW TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECTLY CLEAN AND MINT PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE INNER SLEEVE IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SURFACES, NO CREASES AND STILL VERY WHITE WITH SOME LIGHT AGEING
THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
