THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PINK WHITE AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.
THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
NO DUST POPS EITHER ANYWHERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!!
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, WITH NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE COLOUR, AND A PERFECT SURFACE THAT HAS SUFFERED NO LOSS OF COLOUR OR SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE ZERO !! LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH MINT. FULLY COLOURED FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNRUBBED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PRESENT AND ONLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECT AND LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP , SHOWING WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE ALL THESE YEARS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT THE FRONT, ACTUALLY NO SMALL LINES NEAR ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS.
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT CONDITION. FLAT AND UNCREASED
THIS IS A REAL RARITY AND A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
