THE RECORD LABELS
THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THE LP HAS ONLY EVER HAS ONE PLAY SINCE 1970, SO THEY SHOULD BE. PROBABLY THE ORIGINAL OWNER DIDN'T LIKE THE MUSIC OR TAPED THE LP'S, BUT WHATEVER HAPPENED HERE IS A MINT COPY OF THIS GREAT PROG ALBUM. THE GREEN LABELS ARE UNBLEMISHED, THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN, AND THERE IS BUT ONE RIDICULOUSLY SMALL SPIDER LINE ON EACH LABEL CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT ONLY BEEN HANDLED WITH CARE, BUT IN FACT JUST NOT PLAYED!!
THE VINYL
SUPERB BLACK HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN HAS BEEN RETAINED, THESE TWO DISCS ARE JUST AS NEW, AND MAGNIFICENT. THEY ARE TOTALLY MARK FREE AND EVEN IF OFFERED UP INTO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. IT IS RARE TO FINE A CLASSIC ALBUM SUCH AS THIS THAT HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED
PLAYING THE RECORD
I HAVE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS ME TO RECORD FOR YOU SOME SOUNDBITES. I AM CERTAIN THAT ALL THE WORDS I CHOSE TO TYPE ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO ACTUALLY HEARING WHAT YOU MAY BE CONSIDERING TO BID ON. I HOPE YOU AGREE
I HAVE INCLUDED FEIGHT, THREE MINUTE SECTIONS FROM THE LP INCLUDING THE OPENING TRACK TO EACH SIDE, AS THIS INCLUDES THE RUN IN WAX, ALLOWING YOU TO IDENTIFY ANY UNWANTED NOISE THAT MIGHT BE PRESENT.I HAVE ALSO RECORDED SECTIONS OF THE LINKING GROOVE THAT PRECEED EACH TRACK, ONE FROM EACH OF THE FOUR SIDES, SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO GUAGUE THE SILENCE BETWEEN THE TRACKS.
ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN AND THAT IS THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY OF THE TRACKS WHICH WOULD BE PRESENT IF THE RECORD HAD BEEN ABUSED WITH A WORN OR TOO HEAVY STYLUS
THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THIS ALBUM IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY. THE STEREO MIX IS PERFECT, AND THE SPOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE AT ALL, AND IF I AM BEING REALLY PICKY THERE ARE A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE POPS IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS, WHICH PROBALY NEED JUST ANOTHER DEEP CLEAN, AS THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE VINYLS
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THE VINYL MINT MINUS
TAKE A LISTEN
THE SLEEVE
THE OVERALL GRADING OF THE SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD PLUS
THIS IS THE E.J.DAY FIRST PRESS SLEEVE
LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND SHOWS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND A VERY VERY LIGHT TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE. THE LAMINATE IS IN PERFECT ORDER (NO LIFT OF SPLITS)
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES SHOW MARGINAL SHELF WEAR, AND THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH A COUPLE OF TINY CHIPS OUT OF THE LAMINATE. THE OPENING EDGES ARE PRETTY SHARP WITH JUST A FEW THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THEM.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FRONT WITH JUST A TINY SPEC OF LAMINATE LIFT IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE NON LAMINATED BLACK AND WHITE INNER SURFACE. CLEAN BUT DOES SHOW SOME MILD HANDLING
TWO POLY LINES UNSPLIT INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH INCLUDED
THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT A VERY HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE ALBUM, AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO FOR IT
