THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS THAT THERE AREJUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES AND IN DAYLIGHT IN IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES TO SEE , AND A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINES ON THE SURFACE
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION ANYWHERE
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
IF THERE IS ANY STATIC AT ALL IT IS TOTALLY RANDOM AND NO MORE THAN A SPLIT SECOND IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH. I DID HEAR A COUPLE OF RANDOM LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS DURING THE PLAY
THIS VINYL AUDIO GRADES NEAR MINT WITH EASE
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE , THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN PERFECTLY RETAINED. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE.
THERE IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT, AND A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE SPINE
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE,FIVE ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND TWO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS
THE WAFER THIN SPINE HAS A FEW SPECKS OF WHITE VISIBLE AND AT THE TIP ENDS. A LITTLE FLATTENING AS WELL
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
