THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE WHITE AND MAUVE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE WHITENESS OF THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST PERFECT. NO MARKS OR STAINS, OR SIGNS OF HANDLING, JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ON A RECORD THAT HASN'T HAD MORE THAN A COUPLE OF PLAYS. THE MAUVE LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING PRISTINE VINYL. HAS A MIRROR LIKE FINISH TO IT, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE DISC, AND EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF REALLY WISPY HAIRLINES
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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD 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 FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE ABSOLUTE SILENCE DURING THE VERY LONG RUN IN TO SIDE ONE
TAKE A LISTEN TO THE FIRST TRACK WITH THE RAINFALL SEQUENCE. IT IS JUST BRILLIANT, AND THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION JUST INCREDIBLE
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS, AND THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND JUST THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC IN ONE OR TWO RANDOM SPOTS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAY
THIS REALLY IS A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS GREAT ALBUM FROM THE MOODY BLUES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST SLEEVES TO COLLECT IN MY OPINION. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR 2 YEARS TO FIND ONE THAT I WOULD BE PREPARED TO LIST FOR COLLECTORS AND THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN
THIS ONE HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE
A NON LAMINATED AND TEXTURED GATEFOLD WHICH CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS THE WORST POSSIBLE COMBINATION FOR SLEEVE LONGEVITY
THE USUAL FLAWS ARE
- SERIOUSLY RUBBED COLOURS
- TERRIBLE RING WEAR
- HORRIBLE CREASE LINES
- MASSIVE EDGE WEAR
- OPENING EDGE FRAYED AND FLUFFED
THIS COPY IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE CREASE LINE ON THE FRONT SURFACE WHATSOEVER. NOT EVEN ANY DOWN THE SPINE AND THAT REALLY IS JUST UNHEARD OF. NO THUMB LINES. IT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT!!!
THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE FRONT, AND THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FOR SOME CONSIDERABLE TIME WITHIN A PLASTIC OUTER. ACTUALLY A VERY CLOSE INSPECTION SHOWS THE THINNEST SLIVER OF A WHITE LINE NEAR THE SPINE RUNNING DOWN THE LENGTH FROM HALFWAY, BUT THIS IS REALLY BEING PICKY
THE TOP EDGE HAS NO SHELF WEAR AT ALL
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH
THE SPINE IS ALSO MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE JOT OF SQUASHING, AND THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT.
ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED EVEN AT THE TIPS, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION TUCKED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MINT AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NOT ONE CREASE OR CREASE LINE, EVEN THE SPINE. NO RING WEAR, RECORD SHAPE OR ANYTHING. ONE TINY TINY CHIP OF COLOUR LOSS ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A TRULY PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE UNSPLIT, UNCREASED, AND PERFECTLY FLAT. IT IS MINT
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS, IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD!!!
THE BEST COPY OUT THERE I AM CERTAIN OF IT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
