THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK SCROLL CHARISMA LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE PINK BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, NO LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE WHATSOEVER. IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD LOOKS IMMACULATE AND UNBLEMISHED IN ANY WAY, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND THREE MINUSCULE DULL DOTS ON SIDE 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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, WITH THE ACOUSTIC GUITARS SOUNDING ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS GLORIOUS SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AT ALL, AND BARELY ANY STATIC WHATSOEVER, AND WHAT LITTLE THERE IS IS LOVE LEVEL AND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES. A CRYSTAL CLEAR GEORGE PECKHAM CUT!!
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL EITHER
THERE ARE NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH AND ON THAT BASIS I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF IT'S QUALITY
THE SLEEVE
INCREDIBLE TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE PRINTED BY E.J DAY AND CO LTD THIS IS THE HEAVIEST TEXTURED EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. MOST ARE LIGHTLY TEXTURED, BUT THIS ONE IS ALMOST LIKE HESSIAN
MOST COPIES OF THIS SLEEVE YOU WILL COME ACROSS WITH BE VERY HEAVILY WORN, AND THE TEXTURED SURFACE RINGWORN. THE SPINE AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WILL MOSTLY BE WORN AWAY AND THE TYPEFACE BARELY LEGIBLE IF AT ALL. THIS ONE ONLY HAS LIGHT RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNMARKED. THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS JUST BRILLIANT. NO RUBBING TO THE HIGH POINTS AT ALL AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THERE IS A LITTLE RUB AT THE BOTTOM CORNER TIPS
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES , IN AMAZINGLY NOT ONE SMALL LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NOR ARE THERE ANY OTHER LINES NEAR THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES DO HAVE SHELF RUB AND THIS IS THE ONLY POINT AT WHICH THIS SLEEVE IS LESS THAN PERFECT
THE SPINE IS JUST AMAZING. THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE SEEN. THE MAUVE SURFACE IS STILL RICH AND HASN'T WORN WHATSOEVER. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY SINGLE LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND AL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. JUST THAT ONE TINY BIT OF WHITE SHOWING AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP, NOT EVEN ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS STUNNING AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO SMALL LINES ANYWHERE
NO RECORD SHAPE NO RING WEAR!!!
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT PLAIN WHITE INNER WITH 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. ITS UNSPLIT, AND VERY FLAT. SOME AGEING TO THE EDGES
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX+ WOULD HAVE BEEN MINT MINUS IS NOT FOR THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
