THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN HARVEST ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST 2-3 REALLY MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS IMMACULATE WITH JUST ONE SUPERFICIAL AND TOTALLY NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON THE OUTER RIM RUNNING A LITTLE INTO THE FIRST TRACK, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND BARELY A SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE THERE AND LAMINATE SHINES BRIGHTLY
THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE IF THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TOP TIP, WITH JUST A FEW TINY WHITE SPECKS ALONG THEM, AND A TINY BIT OF RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, WITH JUST ONE TINY ROUGH LINE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. NO RUBBING TO THE TIPS AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, AND A THIN CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BLACK AND WHITE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM HAVING THE ROUNDED CORNERS AND THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO MARKS TO THE IMMACULATE SURFACE, JUST A FEW TINY LINES AGAINST THE BOTTOM EDGE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
