THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS . WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS A HERRINGBONE EFFECT FROM BAG RASH ON A SECTION OF THE VINYL. FORTUNATELY THIS DOES NOT SOUND WHILST PLAYING THE ALBUM (PLEASE CHECK BY PLAYING THE SECOND AUDIO PLAYER WHICH CONTAINS ALL OF SIDE TWO)

BAGRASH IS CAUSED BY THE LP REMAINING INSIDE THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE FOR A LONG TIME. THE POLY CHEMICALS CAN START TO DETERIORATE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES AND FORM A FILM ON THE SURFACE OF THE RECORD. MOST TIMES THIS WILL CAUSE NO AUDIBLE ISSUES, BUT ON OCCASION WHEN IT HAS EMBEDDED FOR A LONG PERIOD IT CAN CAUSE A SHUSHING NOISE ALL THROUGH THE PLAYING SURFACE. ODDLY THOUGH IT OFTEN ONLY APPEARS ON ONE SIDE OF THE LP. THIS COPY IS UNAFFECTED BY THE SMALL AMOUNT ON THIS ALBUM

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS VINYL PLAYS EVERY BIT AS SUPERBLY AS IT LOOKS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS SOUND IN EVERY WAY.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR LOUD CLICKS

CERTAINLY NO VINYL NOISE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY AND BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH plus three tiny static tics in the fourth linking groove side two

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS !!!! FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, AND UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE JAMES UPTON 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. I CAN'T SAY I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS SLEEVE LOOKING SO GOOD, AS MOST HAVE UNSIGHTLY CREASES ALL OVER THEM.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND INCREDIBLY ZERO LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM AS WELL, AND FINALLY NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW. NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO TIP

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND PRISTINE, AND ONLY THE VERY TIP AT THE BOTTOM SHOWS A TINY SPECK OF RUB

THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE INCREDIBLE STATE THAT IT IS, BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER WHICH IS QUITE RARE ON THIS TYPE OF SLEEVE. NO LINES AGAINST ANY OF THE EDGES

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE SLEEVE IS JUST SUPERB!!

THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION WITH BARELY A CREASE LINE ON IT. THIS AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN HANDLED.

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT!!!!

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