THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE / GREY 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 ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER AROUND SPINDLE HOLE , AND COUPLED WITH THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL AND HOW THIS PLAYS I AM CERTAIN THAT MY TEST PLAY TODAY IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITON. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO HAIRLINES, JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE WISPS. WHERE THE LP HAS SAT INSIDE THE INNER SLEEVE FOR ALL THESE YEARS THERE ARE A FEW PATCHES WHERE THE VINYL HAS STATED TO LOOK A LITTLE CLOUDY, MAINLY NEARER THE CENTRE OF THE DISC. THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NO AFFECT ON THE PLAYING PERFORMANCE WHATSOEVER, AS YOU WILL HEAR
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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS VINYL PERFORMS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT. DISTORTION FREE SOUND THATS IS CRISP AND CLEAR
I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO MINISCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY, AND THE OCCASIONAL TINY BIT OF VINYL NOISE IN THE SILENT PASSAGES LIKE ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES. AND THATS BEING REALLY PICKY, BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEST PERFORMING COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO PLAY
I HAVE TO GIVE THIS VINYL A MINT MINUS STATUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.NO RING WEAR,JUST ONE LIGHT LINE ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THERE ARE THREE SMALL LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE AND THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS A SLIGHT DING
THE MULTI SHADED COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE ONLY PATCH OF LIGHT RUBBING WOULD APPEAR TO BE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, WHERE IN ADDITION THERE THERE IS A THUMB PRINT MARK ABOUT HALF WAY UP THE COVER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE BAREST TOUCH OF RUBBING IN A COUPLE OF PATCHES
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED . THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE SOME VERY LIGHT RUBBING, BUT ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND TOTALLY AS NEW
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS IN TOP ORDER WITH JUST A LIGHT LINE AV=CROSS THETOP LEFT CORNER, AND THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
