THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE  ORANGE LABELS ARE IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.

THE BLACK LOGO AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE IS A SMALL WHITE LINE ON SIDE TWO BUT THATS ALL NO WRITING OR STAINS

THERE ARE ABOUT 10-12 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL. THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT, HAS A DEEP RICH GLEAM TO IT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, SIDE ONE REVEALS SURFACE SCUFF LINES IN A V SHAPE. I WANT TO STRESS THAT THESE ARE NON FEELABLE AND ONLY ON THE SURFACE. ALSO ON SIDE ONE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND A REALLY TINY MARK ON THE LAST TRACK. SIDE TWO LOOKS FAR BETTER . NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW SMALL DULL PATCHES

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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, PURELY BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THE REPRODUCTION FROM THIS ALBUM IS STILL VERY LISTENABLE. A RARE ALBUM THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED OVER THE YEARS AND AUDIBLY ONLY HAS SOME LIGHT INTRUSIONS.

I WANT TO STRESS THAT AT NO POINT IS THERE ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE. NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS, STICKS OR JUMPS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS IN FACT REALLY CLEAR

SO WHAT MAKES THIS ONLY A VG+ GRADE IS THAT THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT AND MOSTLY WAY BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND. HEARD MOSTLY IN THE SILENT PASSAGES LIKE THE LINKING GROOVES. IN ADDITION SOME RANDOM LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE. SIDE TWO HAS FAR LESS OF THIS THAN SIDE ONE

SO MY SUGGESTION IS TO HIT THE PLAY BUTTON ON THE AUDIO PLAYER (WAIT UP TO A MINUTE WHILST IT LOADS) THEN JUDGE IF IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR COLLECTION.

I WOULD NEVER LIST ANYTHING I DIDN'T THINK WOULD MATCH SOMEONE'S NEEDS, AND WHILST THIS IS NOT THE USUAL MINT GRADES THAT I LIKE TO OFFER, ITS A MORE THAN ACCEPTABLE RARE ALBUM

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VERY GOOD PLUS

 

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FRONT LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A REALLY HIGHLY POLISHED SHEEN TO IT. 

THERE ARE SIX TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND NONE ON  THE TOP EDGE, AND FOUR ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, ALSO ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF LAMINATE LIFT ALSO BY THE SPINE, AND A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION

THE CORNER TIPS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OTHER THAN A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO EACH CORNER TIP END. THE LAMINATE IS SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH ALL THE WAY ACROSS

THE SPINE IS NEAR PERFECT. 99% OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT. NO PEEL OR FLAKE, JUST A SPECK OF WEAR TO THE TOP  AND BOTTOM TIPS. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE  OPENING EDGE ARE IS VERY SHARP , AND ONLY DISPLAYS A TINY LITTLE BIT OF EDGE BURR AT THE BOTTOM

THE REAR HAS LAMINATED FLIP BACKS WHICH ARE ALL PERFECTLY ADHERED AND UNDAMAGED. THE WHITE POROUS SURFACE IS STILL EXTREMELY WHITE. NO WRITING OR MARKS, AND ONLY A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF NATURAL AGEING TO THE EDGES 

THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS. A LITTLE CREASING TO THE CORNERS AND STILL VERY CLEAN

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES  EXCELLENT 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
