THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL STEAMBOAT TRICOLOUR LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE UNFADED OR UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THERE ARE ZERO!!!! SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT IT IS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED.THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UPTO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . A PRISTINE ROCK SOLID VERY HEAVY DISC

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 ALL MY ALBUMS ON AUCTION FROM START TO FINISH, AND WHILST THIS TAKES FAR LONGER TO DO, IT IS MY OPINION THAT BUYERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR ALL WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON. I HOPE YOU AGREE

I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC, BECAUSE I WNATED BIDDERS TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO IT, AND AS YOU KNOW UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT. MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED 

A TRUE FIRST PRESS PERFORMANCE WITH A STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. SILENT RUN IN'S AND LINKING GROOVES LEADING TO PERFECT SOUND PLAYED WITHOUT DISTORTION THUS NO GROOVE WEAR. NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO STATIC EITHER.

VINYL THAT WAS AS HEAVY AS THIS WAS OFTEN POORER QUALITY THAT SAY THE VINYL THAT EMI USED FOR THEIR ALBUMS. A CASE IN POINT IS THE EARLY ISLAND PRESSES ON THE PINK EYE LABEL. THIS ONE HAS ESCAPED ALL OF THAT AND THERE IS NONE WHATSOEVER

NO STATIC AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OF ANY DESCRIPTION

CERTAINLY THERE IS NOTHING ELSE OTHER THAN ONE OR TWO TINY DUST POPS THAT I HEARD DURING THE ENTIRE PLAY

THE LP PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE

VERY HARD TO FIND THIS SLEEVE IN PURE WHITE CONDITION AND WHILST THIS COPY ISN'T PURE WHITE IT IS STILL BETTER THAN MANY I HAVE SEEN

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE WITHOUT ANY RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR TO IT. THERE IS A BAND OF AGEING AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES WHERE THERE IS SOME LIGHT BROWNING TO THE WHITE SURFACE, AND BEING WHITE IT ALSO SHOWS SOME MILD HANDLING TO THE PERIMETERS AS WELL

THERE ARE HOWEVER NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES TO THIS SURFACE, AND AMAZINGLY NOT ONE LINE NEAR THE SPINE OR THE OTHER PERIMETER EDGES FOR THAT MATTER, AND CERTAINLY NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR APART FROM THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP WHICH IS SLIGHTLY NICKED, AND THE VERY TIP END OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS MINUSCULE RUBBING

THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION. ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND JUST THE BOTTOM TIP ENDS SHOWS MILD RUBBING

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE IS PLAIN WHITE ALL OVER AND LIKE THE FRONT IS UNCREASED BUT DOES HAVE THE LIGHT AGEING AND HANDLING AS SEEN ON THE FRONT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
