THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN VERY CLEAN CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THERE ARE 10-12 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED A LIMITED NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE 1965
THE VINYL
GLOSSY LP THAT STILL LOOKS GREAT. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES, PLUS A FEW ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES. I WOULD STRESS THAT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO FEELABLE MARKS OR SCRATCHES
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 IN ORDER TO ALLOW POTENTIAL BIDDERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH VERY WELL ON BOTH SIDES,WITHOUT ANY SERIOUS ISSUES.
A CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION THAT IS FREE OF ANY LOUD POPS OR CLICKS
THERE IS SOME LIGHTLY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND WHICH CAN BE HEARD IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND ALSO A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES.
'MICHELLE' HAS A LITTLE MORE OF THIS BACKGROUND BUT IS THE ONLY TRACK WHERE THIS IS SO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP AND BE THE JUDGE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP EXCELLENT / EXCELLENT PLUS
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE STILL HAS A VERY STRONG SHEEN TO IT
THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE. THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, SEVEN ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FIVE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND TWO TINY THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEAR PERFECT WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. TYPEFACE FULLY LEGIBLE, NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE. HAS THE TAPERED ENDS. THERE IS ONE LIGHT LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE. THE BOTTOM TIP ALSO HAS A LITTLE RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A LITTLE BURRING AT THE TOP
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LITTLE THIN STAIN RUNNING DOWN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE COVER. THROUGH PAUL'S HEAD.
THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED AND UNDAMAGED.
THE ORIGINAL GREASEPROOF PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOTALLY UNSPLIT CONDITION, A LITTLE AGED BUT REALLY NICE CONDITION. ONE CORNER IS CREASED
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
