THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES.
THE VINYL IS ALSO PLUM TRANSLUCENT WHICH CAN ONLY BE SEEN WHEN PLACED IN FRONT OF A STRONG LIGHT
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 JUST THE VERY ODD SPECK OF STATIC HERE AND THERE IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FIRST ISSUE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, WITH NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE COLOUR, AND A PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNBLEMISHED IMAGE. THERE IS A CIRCULAR STICKER MARK VISIBLE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT IT SITS NEXT TO THE OPENING EDGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SLEEVE
