THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE FAMOUS BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE DEEP BLACK BASE COLOUR IS PERFECT. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND REMAINS UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

THE SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT ORIGINAL PARLOPHONE VINYL IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THE WISPY HAIRLINES AND A SPATTERING OF NEAR INVISIBLE FINE LINES

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 NOW 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

FIRSTLY THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, NO VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC

THIS VINYL WOULD GRADE MINT MINUS IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS HERE AND THERE.MAINLY IN THE LINKING GROOVES. CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH EXCELLENT PLUS / NEAR MINT MINUS

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE , AND FLIPBACKED NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE ON THIS 'GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING' SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS. THERE ARE MANY TINY  LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND JUST TWO NEAR THE TOP EDGE.

THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE. AT A VERY ACUTE ANGLE THERE IS THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE, BUT CANNOT BE SEEN AT MOST ANGLES. THE CORNERS HAVE THE MOST MINOR WEAR TO THEM, APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT WHICH HAS A SMALL NICK IN IT.

THERE ARE NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE ON THE LAMINATE, AND NO OTHER LAMINATE LINES ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE FRONT SURFACE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR APART FROM THE VERY TIPS OF THE CORNERS.

THE SPINE IS NEAR PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.AND JUST A COUPLE OF TINY ROUGH SPOTS WHERE A COUPLE OF THE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ON THE FRONT HAVE CREPT ROUND ONTO THE SPINE ITSELF

THE OPENING EDGE IS SEMI SHARP HAVING SOME BURRING TO THE EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND THE MAGENTA SURFACE IS VERY VERY RICH AND VIBRANT WITH NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING OR WEAR

THE INNER ADVERTISING SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION VERY FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND UNSPLIT

 

THE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS

 

 

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