THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
SUPERB MINT CONDITION ORANGE CBS LABES. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO UNMARKED AND UNRUBBED AND IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES SURROUNDING THE HOLE, AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED UNTIL TODAY
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL IS IMMACULATE. LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED 36 YEARS AGO. IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SEE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. BUT THIS IS A SUPERB DISC IN EVERY WAY
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 RECENTLY TAKEN THE DECISION TO RECORD ANY LP THAT I LIST ALL THE WAY THROUGH FROM START TO FINISH. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY HEAR WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND WHILST THIS TAKES ME FAR LONGER TO DO, I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL 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 INCREDIBLE. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF CRACKLING, DISTORTION OR EVEN ANY POPS. IT IS FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES AN UNPLAYED DISC
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SHOREWOOD SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR SCRATCHES. AMAZINGLY THERE IS A NO TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE,WHICH USUALLY BLIGHTS THIS SLEEVE. THERE ARE NONE OF THE USUAL TINY LINES THAT FORM ALONG THE PERIMETER EDGES WHICH IS ALSO VERY UNUSUAL. .
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM DAY ONE INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER COVER
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT, RAZOR SHARP
THE SPINE IS ALSO MINT. NO WEAR, EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO SQUASHING AT ALL AT ANY POINT ON THE SPINE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MINT CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE ONE SHEET LYRIC INSERT IS FLAT AND UNCREASED. THERE IS THE LIGHTEST TRACES OF AGING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES IN THE FORM OF LIGHT TANNING
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
