THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE HARVEST LOGO IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE AND THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND LOOKS AMAZING. IT IS CLEAR THAT IT HASN'T HAD MORE THAN ONE PLAY. THE DISCS GLEAM LIKE NEW AND HAVE LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE BOTH FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE
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 BOTH LP'S FROM START TO FINISH AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORDS BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE L'SP PLAY THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL FOUR SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS SET SOUNDS.
THE REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. MEANING THAT THE ONE AND ONLY PLAY WAS CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND JUST A RANDOM SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE SILENT PASSAGES.
I CAN' EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN OF THE MOST MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, AND A FEW TINY ROTATIONAL TICS AS SIDE 4 FADES OUT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS ONLY ONE REAL BLEMISH AND THAT IS SOME LIGHT RING WEAR, WHERE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PRESSED TO CLOSELY TO ANOTHER IN THE COLLECTION. CERTAINLY THE VINYL HASN'T BEEN PLAYED. HAVING SAID THAT IS IS NOT TOO TERRIBLE, BUT CERTAINLY NOTICEABLE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND EVEN THE SMALL LINES THAT FORM NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTICTED TO JUST TWO VERY VERY TINY ONES. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE TOP RIGHT CORNER DOES HAVE SOME LIGHT CREASING AND THE CORNER IS SHELF WORN, WHILST THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS ALSO RUBBED. THE RING WEAR IS CONFINED TO THE BOTTOM SECTION OF THE SLEEVE WITH JUST A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE SHOWING ON THE REST OF THE COVER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES SHOW LIGHT RUBBING TO THE BLACK SURFACE IN PATCHES
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE AND TEXT IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE IS SOME LIGHT RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND A FEW PIN PRICK WHITE FLECKS ELSEWHERE
THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. EACH HAS JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE LENGTH
THE REAR SURFACE IS ACTUALLY IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THE FRONT WITH JUST THAT LIGHT TRACE OF RINGWEAR SHOWING, AND A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NO WEAR ON THE CORNERS HOWEVER LIKE THAT ON THE FRONT
NEAR MINT CONDITION PANELS.TOTALLY AND BEAUTIFULLY BLACK WITHIN JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE INNER SLEEVES IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. FLAT WITH BARELY A WRINKLE. UNSPLIT AND ONLY VERY LIGHTLY AGED
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
