THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST 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 REVEALS 5-6 SPIDER LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS ALMOST FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME LIGHT SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES
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, BECAUSE 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY 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 FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.THIS SHOWS THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF STATIC HEARD DURING SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES AND SOME TINY LITTLE DUST POPS AND TICS AT RANDOM
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS AT WORST!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
REALLY CLEAN FULLY LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB!!. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS ETC. EVEN THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST TWO REALLY MINUSCULE ONES,AND SLIGHTLY DEEPER ONE, PLUS THERE IS A SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT IN TOP LEFT CORNER. THERE ARE NO LINES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGES, ANDNO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. ONE FURTHER SPECK OF LIFT IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE MAGNIFICENT, FULLY LAMINATED RUNNING UNBLEMISHED FROM CORNER TO CORNER. AND ONLY THE VERY TIP ENDS ON THE BOTTOM SHOW A TRACE OF RUBBING TO THEM
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE LAMINATE IS MOSTLY PRISTINE WITH JUST SOME MINOR FLAKING AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS HIGHLY POLISHED AS THE FRONT, AND AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR LINES. JUST A FEW TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND A COUPLE ALONG THE TOP EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A CLEAN INNER WITH JUST A TRACE OF STORAGE ON THE BORDERS.
THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SURFACES, JUST ONE CORNER CREASE, AND STILL VERY WHITE WITH A TRACE OF GLUE AGEING TO THE SEAMS
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
