THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GLOSSY ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE GLOSSY LABELS ARE EVIDENCE OF A FIRST PRESS, AS LATER PRESSES WERE RELEASED ON LIGHTER VINYL WITH MATT LABELS
THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THE BARELY VISIBLE
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, 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 ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB WITH EVERYTHING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
JUST THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND NO MORE THAN 1-2 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS HEARD THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED CLOUT & BAKER SINGLE SLEEVE.
ONLY THE VERY 1ST ISSUES OF THIS ALBUM CAME HOUSED INSIDE A FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS AND THE SLEEVE JUST LOOKS ASTOUNDING. THERE IS THE TINIEST SLIVER OF LAMINATED LIFT NEXT TO THE SPINE
NO LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONLY ONE MINUTE THUMB LINE JUST ABOVE THE SHAPED AREA OF THE GUITAR
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OR LAMINATE DAMAGE
THE SPINE HAS A ONE LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB SQUASH. THE LAMINATE IS ALL THERE AND THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NO WEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE ALL THESE YEARS
THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.AGAIN THERE IS SOME LAMINATE LIFT NEXT TO THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION . UNSPLIT AND STILL VERY WHITE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
