THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN NICE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE LABEL HAS THE CORRECT 1ST ISSUE GROOVE.THERE IS A VERY FEINT PAIR OF INITIALS ON SIDE TWO, THIS IS BECAUSE IT WAS WRITTEN IN BLUE BIRO AND ALMOST CANNOT BE SEEN, THERE IS ALSO A TINY SMUDGE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SIDE TWO LABEL
EVIDENCE OF A LOT OF PLAY AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS LITTLE SPIDER LINES VISIBLE - BUT LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES TO HEAR JUST HOW INCREDIBLE THIS SOUNDS
THE VINYL
A TESTAMENT TO THE INCREDIBLE QUALITY VINYL OF THE 60'S IS THAT IT CAN WITHSTAND MARKS AND SURFACE LINES AND STILL SOUND AMAZING, NEVER WOULD HAPPEN WITH A 70'S VINYL. SO INITIAL INSPECTION IN DAYLIGHT REVEALS A VERY GLOSSY ALBUM THAT SHOWS A FEW LIGHT SURFACE DULL LINES. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS WISPY HAIRLINES, SURFACE HANDLING LINES AND DULL LINES. I STRESS THAT NONE OF THESE ARE FEELABLE, AND ARE ALL SURFACE
PLAYING THE RECORD. I HAVE TAKEN MY USUAL DAYLIGHT PICTURES WHICH HARDLY SHOW ANY BLEMISHES, BUT ALSO ONE PICTURE AS BEST I COULD MANAGE UNDER A SPOTLIGHT SHOWING THE SURFACE 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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS MONO ALBUM PLAYS REALLY CLEANLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AUDIO IS CRISP AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY CRACKLE OF CLICKS WHATSOEVER
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT AND REALLY SHOWS HOW THE 60'S VINYLS STAND UP TO THE TEST OF TIME
SO WHAT WILL YOU HEAR WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM
NO LOUD CLICKS. NO LOUD POPS, AND NO HEAVY CRACKLE
THERE IS SOME OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND AND A LITTLE STATIC LIKE STUFF TO BE HEARD
SOME OCCASIONAL LITTLE TICS, BUT NOT MANY, THE MOST ARE 3-4 RIGHT AT THE START OF SIDE TWO, BUT THEY ARE FAIRLY QUIET
SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AS IT SOUNDS FAR BETTER THAN IT LOOKS
I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO AT EX OR PERHAPS SLIGHTLY HIGHER
PLEASE JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AS YOU LISTEN TO THE RECORDING
THE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS ONE OF THE HARDEST SLEEVES TO COLLECT. MOST EVERY COPY YOU WILL SEE HAS SPLITS, TEARS , CREASES, AND HAS BROWNED ON THE BACK SO BADLY THAT YOU COULD BE EXCUSED FOR THINKING IT WAS NEVER WHITE.
THIS ONE IS CERTAINLY NOT PRISTINE, BUT IT HAS ESCAPED ANY RIPS OR TEARS TO THE SURFACE, AND IS STILL IN VERY GOOD SHAPE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEO CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER
THE LAMINATE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION AND FREE FROM ANY LIFT OR FLAKE, AND INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER
THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THERE ARE EIGHT REALLY SMALL LAMINATE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE, OF WHICH THE BOTTOM FOUR HAVE BROWNED. EIGHT EQUALLY SMALL ONES ON THE TOP EDGE, EIGHT MORE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE WAFER THIN AND BOTH ARE FULLY LAMINATED WITH A SPECK OF RUB AT THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS ALSO WAFER THIN. RUNNING A FINGER UP AND DOWN, I CAN FEEL THE POINTS AT WHICH THE LAMINATE LINES ON THE FRONT IMPACT THE SPINE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE RUBBED LIGHTLY
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL FAIRLY SHARP WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW MOST OF THESE END UP. THERE IS A LITTLE PATCHY BURRING BUT NOTHING TO SEVERE
THE REAR SURFACE IS SHOWING ITS AGE. THE WHITE POROUS SURFACE HAS AGED A LOT AROUND THE EDGES, AND THERE IS A LIGHT PATCHY BROWNING ON THE REST OF THE SURFACE. SOMEONES NAME HAS BEEN INKED OUT AT THE TOP
THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT , HAS ONE CORNER CREASE, AND IS LIGHTLY AGED
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE AS VG
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
