THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
CBS ORANGE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. CLEARLY A WELL CARED FOR 42 YEAR OLD ALBUM
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 5-6 SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT AND IS MADE OF THE VERY HEAVY VINYL THAT MOST LATE 60'S RECORDINGS WERE PRESSED ON.UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, AND SIDE ONE HAS A NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON TRACK ONE
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW 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 CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THE REPRODUCTION PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.
NO VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EITHER
SOME ODD RANDOM LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE MAINLY ON TRACK 1 SIDE 2, AND A COUPLE OF DUST POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS NEAR MINT
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS EASILY WRECKED SLEEVE.
THIS IS A GENUINE FIRST ISSUE GATEFOLD FROM SHOREWOOD PACKAGING CO LTD
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. THE SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF HAVING RING WEAR BECAUSE OF THE DELICATE NATURE OF THE COLOURS APPLIED TO THE SURFACE WHICH ARE A DUSTY POWDERY TOP SURFACE. THIS SLEEVE HOWEVER HAS SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE AND HAD NOT SUFFERED THIS FATE.
NO CREASES, BENDS OR FOLDS, AND ONLY 2 REALLY TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE VERY LIGHT LINE ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, APART FROM THE TWO RIGHT CORNER TIPS WHICH ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE SPINE SHOWS A FEW LITTLE NICKS TO THE LEADING EDGES.PLEASE REMEMBER WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES THAT THESE ARE TAKEN ON A MACRO SETTING AND THE HUMAN EYE IS FAR MORE FORGIVING. THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD BY THE SPINE JUST LIKE THE BEATLES FOR SALE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY;Y RAZOR SHARP AND UN DAMAGED, AS IS THE INNER SURFACE OF THE SPINE WHICH CAN EASILY GET DAMAGED THROUGH INCORRECT POSITIONING OF THE VINYL. THIS LP HAS BEEN SO BARELY OUT OF THE SLEEVE THAT NO DAMAGE CAN POSSIBLY HAVE OCCURRED.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AGAIN WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT. THERE IS ONE SLIVER OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND A TINY LINE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND THE TWO MINUSCULE LINES NEAR THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL TONY BENNETT ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS JUST IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASE LINES TO ONE CORNER, BUT NO SPLITS AND NO RUBBING OR TEARS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
