THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL STEAMBOAT TRICOLOUR LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION.
THE COLOURS ARE UNFADED OR UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THERE ARE A FEW TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW WITH AN ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS PERFECT,
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS JUST ONE NON SOUNDING WISPY SURFACE HANDLING LINE ON THE FIINAL TRACK SIDE TWO
THE REST OF THE RECORD IS PRISTINE
PLAYING THE RECORD
A TRUE FIRST PRESS PERFORMANCE WITH A STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. NEAR SILENT RUN IN'S AND LINKING GROOVES LEADING TO PERFECT SOUND PLAYED WITHOUT DISTORTION THUS NO GROOVE WEAR.
VINYL THAT WAS AS HEAVY AS THIS WAS OFTEN POORER QUALITY THAN SAY THE VINYL THAT EMI USED FOR THEIR ALBUMS. A CASE IN POINT IS THE EARLY ISLAND PRESSES ON THE PINK EYE LABEL. THIS ONE IS NO DIFFERENT, BUT THIS VINYL IS CLEAN. THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THERE IS THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
SIDE ONE PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION WITH JUST THREE VERY LIGHT TICS ABOUT 30 SECONDS INTO THE FIRST TRACK ON SIDE ONE
SIDE TWO PLAYS PERFECTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT / MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE WITH FLIPBACKS
THIS SLEEVE IS ALSO AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN VERY CREASED CONDITION. FOR SOME REASON MOST ARE COVERED IN LAMINATE CREASES MOSTLY ALONG THE SPINE.
THIS ONE ISN'T WITHOUT ISSUES, BUT IS BETTER THAN MANY
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE LAMINATE SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. I MEAN IT REALLY GLEAMS!!!
THERE ARE FOUR LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, EIGHT MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, SIX ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND FIVE THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE SOME RUBBING WITH A LITTLE MORE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE
THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE GLOSSY BLACK SURFACE RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP AND JUST ONE SPECK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE RIGHT TIP END.
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS ONLY GOT A LITTLE RUB ON THE CORNER TIPS. THER REST IS PERFECT
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. IT HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS. AGAIN THE BLACK GLOSSY SURFACE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE FEATHERING TO THE SURFACES IN THE MIDDLE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS, AND THE VERY VULNERABLE BLACK NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS IN UNRUBBED CONDITION.
LIGHT HAMDLING EVEIDENCE AROUND THE EDGES. THERE IS A FACTORY AFFIXED 'THIS STEREO RECORD' STICKER IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS BUT DOES HAVE AGEING TO THEM.
THE POSTER IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. IT HAS SUPER SHARP FOLD LINES AND IS IN SUPER CONDITION. JUST ONE PIN HOLE IN EACH CORNER
THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT GRADES EX
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
