THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE  BASE COLOUR IS CLEAN (LIGHT MARK ON SIDE TWO) AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK RCA LOGO IS CLEAN AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS A STICKER ON THE A SIDE DENOTING THE CATALOGUE NUMBER. THERE IS ALSO TYPEFACE STATING TEST PRESS

 THERE ARE 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING THE LIMITED PLAY THIS HAS HAD IN 40 YEARS

THE VINYL

BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED  ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW OF THE TINIEST 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 RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANY LP THEY ARE CONSIDERING PLACING A BID ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

FIRSTLY THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.A POWERHOUSE PRODUCTION THAT IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE ON THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THE SILENT PASSAGES ARE SILENT!! AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE TO BE HEARD AT ANY POINT.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN A TINY SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AT THE START OF EACH SIDE AND IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO  STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE SLEEVE IS IN GOOD CONDITION REGARDING CREASES, AND OTHER THING LIKE BENDS OR FOLDS ETC, BUT THE WHITE SURFACE HAS AGED A LITTLE AROUND THE EDGES, AND THERE IS A LITTLE HANDLING TO IT AS WELL, MEANING THAT IT DOESN'T LOOK AS PURE WHITE AS IT ONCE DID

THERE ARE THREE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST THE RIGHT TIP END SHOWING A SPECK OF RUB. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR 

THE  SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,  THE COLOUR HAS SOME LIGHT AGEING AND A SPECK OF RUB AT THE TWO TIPS. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT. PLUS A LITTLE RING WEAR SHAPE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PERFECT INNER PANELS. JUST THAT LIGHT AGEING BY THE SPINE

THE RCA INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS FREE FROM ANY SPLITS. LIGHT AGEING AND  CORNER CREASES

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
