THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THIN DARK LINES ON EACH SIDE WHICH I BELIEVE TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE FACTORY. OTHER THAN THIS A FEW TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD HAS STILL RETAINED VIRTUALLY ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN, AS IT HAS A FEW RANDOM DULLISH PATCHES AND HAS ALSO GOT SOME FINE HANDLING LINES ON THE SURFACE MIXED IN WITH THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES.
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. I AM CONVINCED 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
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ALBUM WHERE THE RECORDING HAS BEEN DONE LOUDLY, AND THE ENERGY THAT THE VINYL OUTPUTS IN PHENOMENAL. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND. MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS FIRST CLASS,WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED
THERE IS THE ODD LITTLE BIT OF VERY VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND IN THE QUIETEST OF MOMENTS LIKE BETWEEN A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS IN THE LINKING GROOVES, WHICH AMOUNT TO NOTHING MORE THAN A TINY BIT OF STATIC.PERHAPS A COUPLE OF TINY TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY AS WELL
CERTAINLY NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE VINYL EASILY PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT STANDARD IN MY OPINION. NEAR MINT MINUS AT THE VERY WORST
THE SLEEVE
FANTASTIC DIE CUT GARRODPRINT UK SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO GET IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN HAS NICKS TO THE DIE CUT HOLES, AND SEVERE CREASING THE THE EXTREMELY FLIMSY CARD USED FOR THE SLEEVE
THIS COPY HOWEVER IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND THE DIE CUT 'EYE' IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL LINES AGAINST THE LEFT EDGE, AND THREE EVEN SMALLER ONES AGAINST THE RIGHT EDGE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM, AND THE SEMICIRCULAR CUT OUT ALONG THE TOP EDGE IS JUST MINT!!
THE TWO SPINES ARE ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. WAFER THIN WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP, AND NOT EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE WORN OR RUBBED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE BOTTOM EDGE WHICH ALSO CONSTITUTES AS A SPINE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
THE TOP OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER. NO THUMB NAIL NICKS WHATSOEVER
THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT IS STUNNING, BOTH DIE CUT SQUARES ARE PERFECT AND UNBLEMISHED
THE SLEEVE REMARKABLY DOESN'T HAVE ANY RING WEAR, OR EVEN ANY TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE
THE SLIDE IN INNER SLEEVE IS IN THE SAME INCREDIBLE CONDITION AS THE OUTER SLEEVE. EVERY THING JUST SUPERB
THE ORIGINAL RCA DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED. IT IS TOTALLY WHITE AND UNSPLIT,AND HAS THE CORRECT1-76 DATE PRINTED IN THE CORNER (JAN 1976_
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!
IT IS THAT GOOD
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
