THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER TRACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE JET BLACK SURFACE FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THE SILBER LOGO AND TYPEFACE REMAINS UNRUBBED OR WORN. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS BARELY TOUCHED A TURNTABLE, WHICH CONSIDERING THIS LP HAS THE CLASSIC RADAR LOVE AS THE OPENING TRACK IS JUST AMAZING
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING VINYL IN STUPENDOUS MINT MINUS CONDITION. LOOKING AT IT IN NORMAL LIGHT THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF REALLY WIPSY HAIRLINES. IT JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED
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 4 THREE MINUTE SECTIONS FROM THIS ALBUM WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN AND FIRST TRACK ON EACH SIDE FOLLOWED BY ONE OTHER TRACK INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE. THIS WILL DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW PERFECT THIS SOUND IS, SO PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO HEAR THIS ALBUM IN ALL IT'S GLORY.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS ALBUM DESERVES A MINT MINUS STATUS
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AT ALL ANYWHERE, MEANING THE LP WHEN IT WAS PLAYED WAS PLAYED ON A GOOD DECK WITH AN UNWORN STYLUS. THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS MIAGNIFICENT. CLEAR AS A BELL, EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS PRODUCED TO BE HEARD.
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS. THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS RICH AND VIBRANT. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR BENDS , AND EVEN THE SMALL LINES YOU WOULD EXPECT TO FIND NEAR THE SPINE ARE LIMITED TO JUST TWO. THE WHITE SURFACE HAS JUST THE MILDEST TRACES OF HANDLING, BUT IS STILL IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM AND SHELF WEAR, INDICATING THAT THE SLEEVE HAS SPENT ITS LIFE INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE, AS THIS WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY RUBBED WITHOUT SUCH PROTECTION. THE SPINE AGAIN IS UNRUBBED AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH JUST A FEW LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE LP WAS REMOVED A COUPLE OF TIMES.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECT INNER SURFACE. AGAIN UNRUBBED AND UNFADED.
THE IMPORTANT INSERT IS INCLUDED AND IS IN MINT CONDITION
EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
