THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND CLOSE EXAMINATION CANNOT FIND ONE SPIDER LINE ON ANY OF THE 4 SIDES. THE LP SET HAS UNTIL TODAY NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY OF THE SURFACES. IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE BOTH ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST 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 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
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED SET, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT. I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THIS SET FIRST OF ALL HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION. I AM CERTAIN THE ORIGINAL MASTERS MUST HAVE BEEN USED TO PRODUCE THE CLEANLINESS OF THIS SOUND
THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND ONLY THE BAREST ODD SECOND OF STATIC. A LITTLE OF WHICH IS IN THE RUN IN TO SIDE THREE
NO DUST POPS AT ALL
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!! MINT MINUS AT THE VERY WORST
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THIS NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION, AS MOST COPIES YOU WILL EVER FIND WILL HAVE HUGE WHITE CREASE LINES RUNNING OUTWARDS FROM THE SPINE. THE BASE COLOUR IS VERY UNFORGIVING TO ANY CREASE WHATSOEVER, BUT HERE WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL COPY.
THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR VIRTUALLY ALL OF IT'S LIFE WHICH IS WHY IT HAS REMAINED IN THIS INCREDIBLE STATE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. THERE IS ONE VERY TINY WHITE SCUFF JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE OPENING EDGE NEAR THE TOP, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY BLEMISH TO THE FRONT.
THERE IS NOT ONE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE, AND THIS REALLY IS UNHEARD OF. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO A VERY STRONG LIGHT THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE,
THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION WITH JUST THE CORNER TIPS LIGHTLY RUBBED.
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND AGAIN THERE ARE NO LINES AT ALL, JUST A COUPLE OF VERY TINY WHITE SCUFFS, ONE ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE AT THE TOP OF THE SPINE AND THE OTHER ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE HALF WAY DOW.. THE VERY TIP ENDS HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH.
THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND SHOW JUST WHY THE SET HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE FRONT,WITH JUST ONE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND THAT TINY TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER SURFACES
THE TWO PLAIN WHITE EMI INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH UNSPLIT. ONE HAS A LIGHT CREASE LINE IN ONE CORNER
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
