IN MAGNIFICENT 1-2 PLAY NEAR MINT!!!! CONDITION
STUNNING MINT SLEEVE
- CATALOGUE:CBS 62690
- MATRIX: S62690 A2 / B4
THIS LP HAS COME FROM AN INCREDIBLE RECORD COLLECTION, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FROM THE VERY DAY OF PURCHASE BY PLACING THEM INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES. THEREFORE VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE RECORDS THAT I WILL BE LISTING FROM THIS COLLECTION WILL HAVE MINT, MINT MINUS OR AT THE WORST NEAR MINT SLEEVES!
THE INNER SLEEVES HAVE ALL BEEN KEPT FLAT AND UNWRINKLED AND FURTHER ENHANCE THE COLLECTION.
THE VINYLS ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE, WITH A FEW HAVING NEVER BEEN PLAYED, AND AGAIN THE GRADING’S VARY BETWEEN MINT AND NEAR MINT...NOTHING LOWER.
THE RECORDS WERE PLACED INTO THOSE RECORD BOXES WITH HANDLES ON THEM, ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN KEPT AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT OR SUNLIGHT AND COLD.
FINALLY THERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER TITLES IN THIS COLLECTION, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK DAILY FOR THE LATEST FROM THIS AMAZING SELECTION OF 197O'S ROCK ALBUMS
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
CBS ORANGE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE, JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE CATALOGUE NUMBER ON SIDE ONE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. CLEARLY A WELL CARED FOR 41 YEAR OLD ALBUM
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1-2 SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE TINY NON SOUNDING HANDLING MARK
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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS 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 CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION
I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THE INCREDIBLE STEREO SOUND THIS RECORDING PRODUCES AND ALL OF THIS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A FEW SPLIT SECONDS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING DISC NEAR MINT!!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IS AS NEW CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES THE FOUR CORNERS ARE IN MINT SHARP AND SQUARE CONDITION
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH THE COLOUR RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, WITH ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT WITH JUST A SPECK OF FOXING TO THE SURFACE. IT IS 100% UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE AND WHEN IT WAS IT WAS HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE FRAGILE WHITE CARD SURFACE WHICH USUALLY WEARS BADLY AND STAINS EASILY, BUT HERE WE HAVE ONE THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL WHITE SURFACE
THE ORIGINAL CBS TONY BENNET ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
TOTALLY UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED AND STILL PERFECTLY WHITE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT!!
