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
EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
AS I PLACED THE LP ONTO MY TURNTABLE, I COULD HEAR AND FEEL RESIDUAL VINYL SHARDS INSIDE THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT IS ABSOLUTELY MIRROR FINISH LIKE, AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS THE DAY IT WAS FIRST PRESSED
WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN MAKE OUT JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES BUT NOTHING TO SUGGEST THAT THIS LP HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER. IT IS QUITE SUPERB
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 IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF HEARING THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. FIRSTLY NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AND SECONDLY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER
NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO VINYL NOISE
A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO RANDOM SPOTS AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FIRST ISSUE FROM JAMES UPTON LIMITED
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR HEAVY CREASES
THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE VIRTUALLY FREE FROM AMY SHELF WEAR AT ALL WITH THE ONLY TINY SPECK OF RUB SHOWING ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THE RIGHT CORNER TIP, AND A SPECK MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE.
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY RUBBING WITH THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO TO CORNER. ONLY THE RIGHT TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH.
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW TINY WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE LENGTH AND THE RIGHT TIP IS RUBBED A LITTLE
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
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.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST THUMB NAIL NICKS TO THE FRONT EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT. ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY BETTER BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEAR THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL HEAVY DUTY PLAIN RED CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO THE DELICATE SEAMS, AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE. THE THUMB NOTCH IS ALSO UNBLEMISHED
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT !!!
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
