TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAYTHE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABEL IS IMMACULATE, THE WHITE SIDE SIMILAR WITH A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE FOXING MOTTLES. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL RUB FREE AND I DON'T SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVY VINYL STILL RETAINS A VERY HEALTHY SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND AND COUPLE OF DULL MARKS, PLUS A FEW 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 NOW 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 THROUGH SUPERBLY WITH A CRISP CLEAN FIRST PRESS SOUND THAT CAN ONLY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE 1ST PRESS VINYL OFFERINGS. THE REPRODUCTION IS EXCEPTIONAL AND THIS PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS
THE ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN ONE OR TWO SILENT PASSAGES AND SOME LINKING GROOVES
NO DUST POPS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN . THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING
THERE ARE SIX SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE SPECK OF RUB ON THE TIP ENDS
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER , AND A SPECK ON THE TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE FLECKS OF WHITE ALONG THE SURFACE
THE SPINE ALSO HAS A LITTLE SPORADIC SPECKS OF WHITE UNDER CARD VISIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL NICKS IT IS CLEAR THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A SCUDD TO THE SURFACE NEXT TO THE TOP OF THE SPINE, AND A FEW EDGE LINES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PERFECT SILVER INNER PANELS.
THE ORIGINAL WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. TOTALLY UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED, JUST A FEW FOXING MOTTLES
THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT GRADES EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
