THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK SCROLL CHARISMA LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, A SLIGHT BIT OF MOTTLING ON SIDE 1, BUT THE PINK BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO DEMONSTRARE HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, NO REAL LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND A PART FROM A COUPLE OF REALLY INSIGNIFICANT SURFACE MARKS IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. OFFERING THE VINYL UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN
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 DECIDED WITH ALL LISTINGS WHERE PRACTICAL TO RECORD THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. THE EXTRA TIME THIS TAKES ME TO COMPLETE THIS WILL I HOPE ENABLE POTENTIAL BIDDERS TO WANT TO COME BACK TO LISTEN TO MORE OF MY ALBUMS UP FOR AUCTION
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. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE CLARITY IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS AND THE ODD RANDOM LITTLE POP
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS REPRODUCTION NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
INCREDIBLE TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE PRINTED BY E.J DAY AND CO LTD
THIS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE I HAVE EVER COME ACCROSS. THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNMARKED. THE LIGHT PASTEL COLOURS ARE RICJ AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE AND HAS THEREFORE BEEN PERFECTLY PRESERVED UNLIKE MOST COPIES OF THIS THAT YOU WILL COME ACCROSS.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES , IN AMAZINGLY THERE IS JUST ONE MINISCULE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, SO SMALL I ALMOST MISSED IT COMPLETELY
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHICH IS ALSO A REAL RARITY ON THIS SLEEVE
THE SPINE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS STUNNING AS THE FRONT, WITH JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE LINE ACCROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER
WHAT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING IS THAT THERE IS NO RINGWEAR, AND NOT EVEN A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE UNRUBBED PAIR OF INNER PANELS
A REALLY INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
