PLAYING THE RECORD
AS USUAL I HAVE RECORDED THE WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH SO THAT AS A BIDDER YOU ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD RATHER THAN TRUST TO JUST WORDS. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, AND AS THE RECORD STARTS TO PLAY "ASTROMONY DOMINE" IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT YOU ARE LISTENING TO A VERY CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO SOUND. THE PRODUCTION 0N THIS ALBUM IS EXCEPTIONAL.
EACH TRACK PLAYS THROUGH WITH UTMOST CLARITY.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE ARE NO CLICKS OR POPS
NO CRACKLE OR STATIC NOISE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT FOR THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE IS IN VERY VERY CLEAN CONDITION.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES AT ALL.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE LAMINATE HAS A VERY GLOSSY SHEEN TO IT ALL OVER WITH JUST A TINY DOT OF LAMINATE LIFT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER WHERE THERE IS ALSO A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIP
THERE ARE SEVEN SMALL LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED WITH JUST THE CORNER TIPS SHOWING A TINY SPECK OF RUB
The spine is also laminated with tapered ends which have the rub at the tips, a couple of the laminate lines on the front have crept over onto the spine
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH A TINY BIT OF FEATHERING AT THE BOTTOM, SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE VERY OFTEN
THE REAR SURFACE IS A NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK SLEEVE, AND ONCE AGAIN IS IN TOP CONDITION. NO LOSS TO THE GREY SURFACE WHICH USUALLY SHOWS UP THROUGH RUBBING AND SHELF WEAR, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE FLIPBACKS EITHER.
THERE IS A LITTLE HANDLING EVIDENCE ON THE EDGES AND THE SHOP STAMP SHOWS IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
THE SLEEVE HAS FILE UNDER POPULAR: POP GROUPS IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT EMI ADVERTISING SLEEVE AND IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. NO CREASES AND NO SPLITS
THE RECORD HAS BEEN PRESERVED IN A NEW POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE, THE ORIGINAL IS INCLUDED AND LEFT INSIDE THE SLEEVE.
SO ONCE AGAIN THIS IS A VERY VERY HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE ALBUM IN THE MOST SUPERB CONDITION IMAGINABLE, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE, AND GOOD LUCK IF YOU DECIDE TO GO FOR IT
