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, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THIS SOUND WHICH IS QUITE INCREDIBLE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE TYPE OF RECORD PLAYER THAT WAS BEING USED IN 1962. BUT DUE TO THE EXTREMELY LIMITED PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED IT IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THE ONLY SLIGHTLY AUDIBLE NOISE IS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES. THERE IS SOME MORE AUDIBLE LIGHT BACKGROUND IN THE SECOND HALF OF SIDE TWO

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN 2-3 TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE FLIPBACKED FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE JUST SPARKLES. IT HAS A VERY HIGHLY POLISHED FINISH TO THE SURFACE. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS. INCREDIBLY THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE  BOTTOM EDGE, AND  NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE BOTTOM  RIGHT CORNER TIP IS VERY LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE TOP EDGE IS PERFECTLY LAMINATED. SMOOTH ALL THE WAY ACROSS WITH ONLY THE VERY TIP ENDS SHOWING A SPECK OF RUB

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SMALLCHIP TO THE LAMINATE IN THE MIDDLE EXPOSING THE WHITE UNDERCARD, AND THE RIGHT CORNER TIP IS ALSO RUBBED.

THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT!! TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE, PLUS ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND COMPLETELY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED GLEAMING  FLIPBACKS. THE WHITE POROUS SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF NATURAL AGEING

THE EMITEX POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED. STILL VERY WHITE

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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