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, AS 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 VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR EVEN ANY LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WITH SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO STATIC HEARD AT ALL
NO E DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
A TRULY MAGNIFICENT COLLECTABLE COPY
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED AND VERY HEAVILY TEXTURED E.J DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
TO ME THIS IS THE WORST TYPE OF SLEEVE FOR WEAR, DUE TO THE TEXTURED SURFACE .
HERE IS ONE THOUGH THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY WELL
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER. NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
INCREDIBLY THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE.
NO LINES ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THE TEXTURED SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS AND THERE IS NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR.
THE TOP EDGES ARE FREE FROM SHELF WEAR, WITH JUST A LITTLE RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS MILD RUBBING TO BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RETAINED AND THE FACE IS STILL VERY FLAT WITH JUST TINY BIT OF NEAR INVISIBLE RUB TO THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE IN 1970
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE , AND A SMALL WHITE MARK NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN UNMARKED PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
