THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE COLOURED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
AS MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE THERE IS A SMALL MARK ON THE FIRST TRACK OF SIDE TWO. OTHER THAN THIS THE ORIGINAL 1963 HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SURFACE WISPY LINES AND A COUPLE OF DULL STREAKY LINES (AGAIN SURFACE)
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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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
SO I HAVE MENTIONED THE ROTATIONAL TICS ON TRACK ONE, SIDE TWO, BUT THE REST OF THE ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS (OTHER THAN THOSE MENTIONED)
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN A FEW SMALL SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE LIGHT STATIC
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM LITTLE STATIC DUST TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL U.S HEAVY CARD PASTE OVER REAR SURFACE SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE HAS THREE LITTLE SPECKS OF CHIPPED PAPER AT THE TOP OF THE COVER , BUT UNLIKE MANY COPIES OF THIS ALBUM, THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR FOLD OR BENDS OR DINGS TO THE CORNERS
THERE ARE TWO NEAR INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES INCREDIBLY HAVE NO SHELF RUB OTHER THAN A SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP. AND TOP LEFT, WHICH IS VERY RARE ON THIS SLEEVE.
THE SPINE IS IN GREAT SHAPE TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING THE ENDS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, JUST A SPECK OF RUB ON THE TOP ONE.THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE PASTE ON IS IN SUPERB CONDITION COMPARED TO MOST COPIES. STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR AT THE TOP
THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT, NO SPLITS TO THE SEAM AND NO DAMAGE . I THINK THE INNER IS NOT THE ORIGINAL INNER THAT CAME WITH THE RECORD AS THE DATES ON THE TOP ARE LATER THAN THE RELEASE DATE OF THE LP
THIS IS A GREAT SLEEVE AND GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
