THE LABELS
THE PLAIN WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS OR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES AT ALL SURROUNDING THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER A SPOTLIGHT THERE IS SOME EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLES IN THE VINYL. THESE ARE ALL NON SOUNDING AND JUST TYPICAL OF A VINYL RECORD OF THIS AGE. IN ADDITION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, BUT OVERALL A STUNNING TOP NOTCH COPY
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 AM DOING WITH ALL THE ALBUMS THAT I LIST AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEAR CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION REALLY IS LOUD AND CLEAR AND SOUNDS PERFECT
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND STATIC OTHER THAN RIGHT AT THE END OF SIDE ONE WHERE THERE ARE TWO LIGHT SCUFF SOUNDS IN THE RUN OUT GROOVE AFTER THE MUSIC HAS FINISHED
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS ALBUM BEING MINT IS THAT THERE ARE 5-6 TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, BUT AGAIN THESE ARE REALLY INNOCUOUS
THIS ALBUM EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
A VERY FLIMSY CHEAPLY MADE SLEEVE WITH A SUPERB DRAGON DESIGN ON THE FRONT BY TARQUIN BOLTON, PRESUMABLY THE SAME TARQUIN WHO APPEARS ON THE ALBUM
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL VERY SHINY AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THERE IS NO SPINE AS SUCH AS ALL THE SEALED EDGES ARE JUST THAT, SEALED!. ONE PIECE OF CARD FOLDED IN HALF AND SEALED AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM. NO SPINE, AND THEREFORE NO SPINE TYPEFACE.
THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT CREASE LINES ON THE EDGES, AND A LITTLE DARK SHADOWING FROM THE RECORD SHAPE, BUT THATS ALL
THE CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE WEAR
THE THREE EDGES HAVE LIGHT SHELF RUB BUT THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR TEARS
THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO FREE FROM ANY TEARS OR RIPS WHICH IS A LITTLE SURPRISING, BUT GREAT TO SEE. THERE IS A VERY LIGHT BURRING EFFECT IN SMALL PATCHES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST IN MINT CONDITION, AND REFLECTS JUST WHY THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE COVER
NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT, AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO CREASES OR EVEN ANY SMALL LINES AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE INNER. IT IS TOTALLY AS NEW. THERE
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
