THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TAN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT MINT!! CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.
THE BLACK LOGO AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE JUST 2=3 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS CLEAN AND STILL VERY GLOSSY. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO SEE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED EITHER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS
TRACK THREE SIDE ONE HAS A LITTLE EMBEDDED STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND (NO MARKS ON THE DISC WHATSOEVER) IN A SMALL SECTION. AND JUST A COUPLE OF RANDOM TINY SEMI SECONDS IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO SOUND IS IMMENSE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
THERE ARE NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO TINY STATIC TICS / POPS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VERY VERY CLOSE TO MINT MINUS FOR THE REPRODUCTION.
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ONLY HAS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF AGEING UNDER THE LAMINATE AROUND THE EDGES. THE LAMINATE IS ALL PERFECT. NO LEFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT, WITH ALL OF THE LAMUNATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO CORNER WEAR
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND HAS THE CORRECT 1ST ISSUE TAPERED ENDS/ THERE IS ONE LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION ON THE LEADING EDGES IN THE MIDDLE, BUT OTHERWISE FLAT. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE COLOUR IS ALSO PERFECT ALL THE WAY ALONG
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ,NO THUMB NAIL NICKS AND NO BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS TWO LINES BY THE SPINE, TWO ON THE TOP EDGE AND THATS ALL, AGAIN A NEAR PERFECT EXAMPLE
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS LIGHTLY AGED AT THE EDGES AND HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES, BUT FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR SEAM SPLITS.
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
