Description

  • FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com PETER HAMMILL - THE SILENT CORNER & THE EMPTY STAGE SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO

    MINT MINUS SLEEVE 

    AN ABSOLUTLY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE PSYCHEDELIC ALBUM FROM THE EARLY 70'S. LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN BARELY PLAYED 

    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE LARGE HATTER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

    THE VINYL

    THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS!!!  THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD ONLY SHOWS A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES

    THE TEST PLAY

    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 SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

    THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE SECOND OF VINYL NOISE

    NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

    SILENT LINKING GROOVES
    NO MORE THAN A FEW BARELY AUDIBLE TINY TICS OR POPS, ONLY A FEW MINUSCULE AND BARELY AUDIBLE SPECKS OF STATIC

     I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT

    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD FROM THE E.J.DAY GROUPE

    THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A  PRISTINE DEEP RICH COLOUR. NO RUBBING OR COLOUR FACE

     THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NOT EVEN ANY LIGHT ONES AND JUST THREE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE  SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

    THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE 
    NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

    THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED AND HAVE ONLY A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

    THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNMARKED, FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS AND HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. BOTH ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

    THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP 

    THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME GLORIOUS CONDITION AS THE FRONT

    OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS

    THE PLAIN INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS 

    THE SLEEVE GRADES   MINT MINUS
