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 2-3 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 A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES
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. A CRYSTAL CLEAR GEORGE PECKHAM CUT!!
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL EITHER
THERE ARE 1-2 TINY 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
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
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNMARKED. THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS JUST IMMACULATE, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE FOR A HUGE PROPORTION OF IT'S LIFE
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
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL NICELY SHAPED WITH JUST A SMALL SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP ONES AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE TOP EDGE HAS A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE SPECKS SHOWING THROUGH WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SUPERB WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN SUPERIOR CONDITION THE MAUVE SURFACE IS STILL RICH AND HASN'T WORN . 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 VERY TOP TIP, AND FOUR PIN PRICKS OF WHITE ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE
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
A REALLY INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
