THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW SIRE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. ONE TINY BLACK PEN MARK ON SIDE ONE, THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE LOOK OF THIS VINYL IS NOT GREAT. YOU CAN TELL THAT IS IS VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED BY THE GLEAMING SURFACE, BUT IT DOES HAVE WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A SPATTERING OF DULLNESS TO BOTH SIDES. THIS DOESN'T AFFECT THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AT ALL, BUT DOES MAKE THE VINYL LOOK LIKE IT SHOULD SOUND POOR. THERE ARE ALSO NUMEROUS ULTRA FINE WISPY HAIRLINES, BUT AGAIN THEY DON'T REALLY AFFECT THE AUDIO QUALITY. TAKE A LISTEN AND THEN JUDGE IT
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
THE SUPERB 1ST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS LOUD AND MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER.
THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAN, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE , BUT YOU CAN HEAR SOME VERY VERY MILD LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE LINKING GROOVES
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THE PLAYTHROUGH EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE DELICATE BLUE SHADE IS UNRUBBED AND THERE HAS BEEN NO COLOUR LOSS TO THE ENTIRE SURFACE. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND JUST SIX SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE ONES ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, BUT NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR WITH EVEN THE CORNER TIP ENDS STILL UNRUBBED, APART FROM ONE PIN PRICK TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP. A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE AND A SLEEVE THAT HAS CLEARLY BEEN WELL PROTECTED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW
THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT WITH JUST 2-3 SMALL FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS , THE COLOURS ARE ALL THERE AND UNRUBBED AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE MINT. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND EVEN FREE OF ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT. THOSE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND A TINY THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE BEING THE ONLY BLEMISH
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE FRONT OR BACK
THE ORIGINAL LYRIC CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN PERFECTCONDITION. NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO DAMAGE TO THE TOP EDGE. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO WRINKLES, MARKS OR STAINS
