THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SWAN SONG LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BROWN BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE ANGEL LOGO WHICH CAN RUB AND WEAR BADLY IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION ON BOTH SIDES. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS THAT THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER AROUND IT, AND THERE ARE STILL SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE FROM THE PRESS
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS 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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS THAT ON OFFER. THE REPORDUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
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 ALBUM SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
IT IS RARE TO FIND SUCH AN INCREDIBLE ALBUM CONDITION WISE, AND I CAN ONLY SAY AGAIN THAT IT IS MINT!!! AND CANNOT BE BETTERED
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED , GATEFOLD FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE FROM GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS
FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS SLEEVE CANNOT UNDER ANYCIRCUMSTANCES BE BETTERED. IT HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM DAY ONE INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE AND IS JUST AS NEW!!.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND THERE IS NO STAINING OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NOT EVEN ANY LIGHT ONES OR THE REALLY SMALL ONES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL.
THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECT. FLAT, CLEAN, UNSCUFFED, UNMARKED, FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS AND HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.THERE IS NO TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE AT ALL ANYWHERE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER SURFACE, WITH A PERFECT INNER SPINE.
THE LYRIC INSERT IS ABSOLUTELY MINT CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
