THE LABELS
THE YELLOW STONES LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION NOTHING MORE THAN SOME VERY FINE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES PLUS A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES
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 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 FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH.
THIS DISC PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH. WITHOUT BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES (MAINLY ON SIDE TWO) AND BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS ON THE RUN IN
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC NEAR MINT!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL HEAVY CARDED SHOREWOOD SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT. THIS SLEEVE IS PRONE TO RINGWEAR AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE FRONT AND REAR SURFACES, BUT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW, AND HAS REMAINED PRISTINE
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE VERY RIGHT TIP END SHOWS A SPECK OF RUB.
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW VERY FINE WHITE SLIVERS ALONG THE SURFACE AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. VERY LIGHT COLOUR FADE , AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OR COLOUR LOSS OR CREASES. INCREDIBLY ONCE AGAIN NO LINES WHATSOEVER, NOT EVEN NEAR THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A LITTLE BURRING TOT HE REAR EDGE NEAR THE TOP OF THE OPENING
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION. NO RUBBING OR RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER MINT MINUS!!!!
IT IS THAT GOOD
A REAL VAULT COPY OF THIS LP SET
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
