THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SUPERB PASTEL GREEN ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE FIRST PRESS STILL RETAINS ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THERE ARE 2-3 SUPERFICIAL NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINES ON SIDE ONE, PLUS A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF DULLISH STREAKS
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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 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 STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE RECORDING AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THERE ARE A FEW MOMENTS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, HEARD ONLY DURING A FEW THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES . THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LITTLE TICS JUST AFTER THE MUSIC STARTS ON SIDE ONE, AND A COUPLE MORE CLOSE TO THE ENDS OF SIDE ONE, BUT OTHER THAN THIS NO MORE THAN A FEW BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE. THE SILENT PASSAGES PERFORM SUPERBLY.
PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN TO THE WHOLE COMPOSITION AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN, WITH A LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE LAMINATE RUNNING ACROSS THEM WITH JUST THE LEFT TOP CORNER LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THERE IS ONE SMALL CHIP TO THE SURFACE HALF WAY DOWN,
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH A SPECK OR TWO OF VERY MILD BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND A VERY WHITE SURFACE THAT HAS NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE. THE SURFACE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS, JUST A TRACE OF HANDLING CLOSE TO THE EDGES
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION.
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
