THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS NO SPIDER LINES SO MY TEST PLAY IS PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME THIS LP HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE AT ALL
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 LP SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE ARE SO MANY QUIET PASSAGES IN THIS ALBUM BUT THERE IS NO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER. NO CRACKLES OR CLICKS AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC. THE VINYL IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINTED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, BENDS ANYWHERE AT ALL. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND ONE ON THE VERY TOP EDGE, AND A COUPLE OF TINY SCUFFS TO THE BLUE AREA JUST ABOVE THE WHITE SECTION
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL. THE LP HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC COVER FROM NEW AND HAS THEREFORE BEEN WELL PROTECTED AGAINST ANY WEAR.
THE SPINE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, TOTALLY FLAT AND NO RUBBING AT ALL, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST WHY THE LP HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED.
THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS HIPGNOSIS SLEEVE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT MINUS THE SCUFFS.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE ' TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORD' INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNSPLIT CONDITION
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
