THE LABELS

THE WHITE  LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE VINYL HAS HAD JUST A FEW CAREFUL PLAYS IN THE 50 YEARS IT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS

EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I DON'T SEE ANY WISPY LINES AT ALL. A PRISTINE DISC IN EVERY WAY

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 AM DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL 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 RECORD PLAYS AS NEW ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO UNWORN .

FIRSTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR SCUFF NOISES

YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY CLICKS OR LOUD POPS ANYWHERE THROUGH THE PLAY THROUGH, SHOWING ONCE AGAIN JUST HOW SPECIAL THIS ALBUM IS

YOU WILL HEAR A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE QUIETEST MOMENTS ON SIDE ONE

THERE ARE ALSO SOME RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS ALSO ON SIDE ONE MAINLY IN THE FINAL COUPLE OF TRACKS

SIDE TWO PLAYS TO A HIGHER GRADE WITH JUST A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS AND BARELY ANY STATIC BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER

WITH ALL THINGS CONSIDERED AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE STUNNING CONDITION OF THIS ALBUM I AM GOING TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS EXCELLENT PLUS / NEAR MINT

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, PLAY ALL OF THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL

THE PURPLE SIDE (JULIE DRISCOLL) IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE DELICATE COLOURS ARE ALL IN PLACE WITHOUT ANY RUBBING TO THE SURFACE AT ALL. THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE FOUR TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE, ONE ON THE TOP EDGE WHICH RUNS RIGHT ACROSS THE RIGHT CORNER, AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, PLUS TWO SMALL THUMB LINES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PICTURE

THE ORANGE COLOURED TO EDGE, ONLY HAS A LITTLE LIGHT SHEFL RUB WITH A FEW WHITE FLECKS AND A LITTLE MORE AT THE RIGHT CORNER AREA. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE MORE SHELF RUB THAN THE TOP

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL VERY SHARP AND SQUARE, WITH JUST A LITTLE RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE

THE SPINE IS IN SUPERB FLAT AND SQUASH FREE CONDITION THE TAPERED ENDS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED. THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL PERFECTLY WHITE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL WITH A LITTLE VERY LIGHT BURRING

THE ORANGE SIDE SURFACE HAS TWO PAPER SNAGS WHERE I SUSPECT SOME THING GOT STUCK TO THE COVER AND WAS POORLY REMOVED. THE TOP LEFT CORNER HAS A CREASE LINE ACROSS IT AND THERE ARE A FEW BY THE SPINE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN OK CONDITION. NO SEAM SPLITS, THE POLY INNER HAS COME UNGLUED AND THERE IS SOME AGEING TO THE EDGES

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT

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