THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL SURFACE MARKS AND ONE LINE ON TRACK ONE WHICH CAUSES A COUPLE OF ROTATIONAL POPS, AND SOME HAIRLINES WHEN EXAMINED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, BUT NOTHING THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS
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. THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE DECIDED TO ADD TO THE AUCTIONS AND ALTHOUGH IT TAKES EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT, I BELIEVE IT'S WELL WORTH IT. IT HAS LONG BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A LOTTERY WHEN IT COMES TO RECORDS. SO MANY INEXPERIENCED SELLERS DESCRIBE RECORDS AS MINT, ONLY FOR THEM TO BE ANYTHING BUT, AND THIS IS A VALID ARGUMENT THAT BUYERS WILL LEVY AGAINST SELLERS. FAIR ENOUGH, BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR THE ENTIRE RECORD BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO BID. I HOPE YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD.
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRSIPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER.
THERE IS SOME VERY OCCASIONAL LIGHT BACKGROUND WHICH IS ONLY HEARD DURING THE QUIETEST SPOTS ON OCCASION.
THE LAST TRACK HAS 3-4 LITTLE ROTATIONAL DUST POPS, AND OTHER THAN THAT PERHAPS A COUPLE MORE AT RANDOM THROUGH THE PLAY, BUT PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNMARKED OR STAINED. THIS NON LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND INCREDIBLY JUST ONE MINISCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE,
THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEE RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE RIGHT AT THE VERY TOP OF THE COVER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES DO HAVE LIGHT SHELF WEAR
THE SPINE IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY THAT MOST ARE RUBBED SO BADLY THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE TYPEFACE. THIS COPY HAS EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE VERY BOTTOM TIP HAS LIGHT WEAR, AND THERE IS SOME MILD THUMB TO FINGER SQUASHING. THESE PICS OF THE SPINE ARE TAKEN WITH MACRO SO EVERY MINSICULE BLEMISH SHOWS UP
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE VINYL HAS BEEN REMOVED A FEW TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN A VERY TIDY, UNSPLIT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
