THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS OF COURSE ID A HEAVYWEIGHT ORIGINAL VINYL. IN DAYLIGHT I AM ABLE TO SEE ONE FINE HOOK SHAPED HANDLING LINE. THIS I CAN CONFIRM IS SUPERFICIAL AND NON SOUNDING. THERE ARE A FEW MORE NEAR INVISIBLE LINES AS WELL. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES TO ADD TO THESE.
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 RECENTLY TAKEN THE DECISION TO RECORD ALL OF THE LP'S THAT I LIST FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THERE ARE THINKING ABOUT BIDDING ON
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS A CRISP CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION. I NORMALLY WOULDN'T LIST ANYTHING WITH A GRADE OF ANYTHING LESS THAN EX+ BUT THIS IS A RARE ALBUM AND NEEDS TO GO TO A GOOD HOME.
THE HANDLING LINES ARE AS MENTIONED SUPERFICIAL AND IN THE MAIN NON SOUNDING. THERE ARE A FEW LITTLE POPS THROUGH THE PLAY BUT NO MORE THAN 5-6. THE INVISIBLE THING THAT YOU CAN NEVER TELL UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY PLAY THE VINYL IS THE LIGHT DISTORTION CAUSED BY A LITTLE GROOVE WEAR.
THE SOUND OF THE MUSIC AND VOCALS IS CLEAR ENOUGH BUT THERE IS AN UNDERLYING BACKGROUND NOISE BEHAIND THE MUSIC WHICH I BELIEVE CAN ONLY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A STYLUS THAT WAS A LITTLE TO HEAVY OR POSSIBLY WORN
ANYWAY TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE. THIS SLEEVE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE.NOR ARE THERE ANY SMALL CREASE LINES, OR EVEN THUMB LINES EITHER. EVEN THE SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE NUMBER JUST FIVE MINISCULE ONES. NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE. A PERFECTLY GLOSS WHITE AND BLACK SURFACE WITH NO YELLOWING WHATSOEVER
THE TOP EDGE HAS A SLIVER OF LAMINATE FLAKE, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY
THE SPINE HAS THE FIRST PRESS TAPERED ENDS, AND IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS AND THEY ARE ALSO PERFECTLY CLEAN.
THE VILNERABLE UNLAMINATED POWDERY BLACK SURFACE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITIION. OFTEN FOUND RUBBED THROUGH TO THE WHITE SURFACE, THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND IS IMMACULATE, WITH JUST THE SMALLEST SHADOW OVER PAULS HEAD. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RECORD SHAPE ANYWHERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
