THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TRI-COLOUR LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. . THE COLOURS RUN FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE , WHILST THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS SUPERB. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES AND A COUPLE OF TINY SCUFF MARKS VISIBLE
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 LP BEFORE LAYING A BID
THIS RARE MONO RECORDING PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF DISTORTION. THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR MEANING THAT WHAT PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY THE VERY ODD LITTLE SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT DETRACT FROM THE CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN MONAURAL SOUND OF THIS VINYL
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR DURING THE PLAY ARE SOME RANDOM LITTLE POPS AND STATIC TICS
FOR ME THIS REPRODUCTION IS EXCELLENT PLUS
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS MAGNIFICENT AND HAS RETAINED A SUPERB SHEEN.
THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE AND THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THERE ARE THREE TINY THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE, AND LIGHT WEAR TO THE CORNER TIPS. THE MAIN BODY OF THE FRONT SURFACE IS FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES
THERE IS NO RING , JUST THE BAREST SPECK OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT.
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED ALL THE WAY ACROSS WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE LEFT TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A SPECK OF RUB ON THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS, AND IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LAMINATE LINES ACROSS THE FACE, BUT ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGES IS STILL PRETTY SHARP WITH SOME LIGHT BURRING AND ROUGHNESS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND UNRUBBED TYPEFACE. NO PEN MARKS OR INSCRIPTIONS. THE WHITE SURFACE HAS LIGHTLY AGED AT THE OPENING EDGE AND VERY LIGHTLY ELSEWHERE.
THE ORIGINAL REPRISE INNER SLEEVE DOES HAVE SEAM SPLITS AND CORNER CREASES
