THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP BLUE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT DISC.IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE WISPIEST HAIRLINES , AND A FEW SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE
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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.
THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
NEXT THE RUN IN GROOVES TO BOTH OPENING TRACKS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE LINKING GROOVES BETWEEN THE TRACKS ARE THE SAME, AND EVEN THE RUN OUT GROOVE IS CLEAN AND CRACKLE FREE
THE RECORDING IS A VERY LOUD STEREO CUT AND IS REPRODUCED SUPERBLY.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT.
NO TICS OR POPS ANYWHERE AND THE ONLY PICKY THING I COULD SAY IS THAT THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES
SO PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS GREAT ALBUM FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!! FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH, MINT MINUS AT THE VERY LOWEST
IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST HIT THE PLAY BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND YOU CAN HEAR THE WHOLE THING AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED OFF WHITE GATEFOLD FROM ROBERT STACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT AND CLEAN CONDITION, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND ONLY TWO SMALL LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP EDGE, AND JUST ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB. NO THUMB LINES AND NO LINES ACROSS ANY OF THE FOUR CORNERS EITHER.
NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED AND UNBLEMISHED . TOTALLY SMOOTH ALL THE WAY ACROSS, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE IMMACULATE
THE SPINE IS ALSO IMMACULATE, HAVING ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY INTACT AND NOT ONE BLEMISH TO THE TYPEFACE WHICH IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED, JUST A SUPERB EXAMPLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASING AND BENDS.AND IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT. JUST ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE,AND BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO OTHERS WHATSOEVER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING.
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE BLUE TEXT IS UN-SPLIT AND FREE FROM CREASING, JUST A LITTLE EDGE GLUE AGEING
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
