THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LIGHT BROWN RSO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
A MAGNIFICENT SET OF LABELS IN MINT CONDITION. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE. THIS LP COULD BE UNPLAYED.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING VINYL, LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF 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 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 ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES WHERE IT IS DEATHLY SILENT
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM AND TINY DUST POPSHEARD DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS VINYL GRADES MINT MINUS WITH EASE
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD FIRST PRESS SLEEVE SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES.
THE COLOURS ARE ALL IN SUPERB CONDITION, AND THE GOLD LETTERING IS JUST PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS A SPECK OFCOLOUR LOSS TO THE VERY OUTER EDGES RANDOMLY BUT NOTHING SERIOUS.
THERE ARE JUST TWO REALLY TINY LITTLE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THE ONLY MINUSCULE EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING IS A LITTLE TO THE CORNERS, AND A FEW TINY SPECKS ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PIN PRICK CHIPS ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ONLY AND A COUPLE OF WHITE PIN PRICKS ON THE LEADING EDGES.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED AND IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL, AND UNCREASED, AND THIS AGAIN SHOWS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, AND AS WITH ALL SLEEVES THAT HAVE ONLY STAYED INSIDE THE SLEEVE THIS ONE HAS AGED LIGHTLY AT THE EDGES
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
