THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK FACTORY LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS. EVEN THE CATALOGUE NUMBER HAS BEEN HAND STAMPED AND NOT HANDWRITTEN
THE LABELS STATE THAT THE RECORD IS NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FINISHED RECORD AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR REVIEW PURPOSES
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE AT ALL
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISCS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST HANDLING 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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PERFORMS EXACTLY AS YOU WOULD EXPECT OF TEST PRESSING, WITH JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND HEARD IN THE QUIETEST SPOTS.
THE DISC HAS ONLY EVER HAD THE ONE PLAY AND ANY NOISE THAT YOU CAN HEAR IS EMBEDDED IN THE TEST PRESS, APART FROM THE ODD LITTLE POP HERE AND THERE
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND THE MAJORITY OF THIS VINYL HAS VERY SILENT PASSAGES WHICH A RE CRYSTAL CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS JUST THE OCCASIONAL LITTLE TIC HERE AND THERE, AND SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND MORE TOWARD'S THE START OF EACH SIDE
IF THIS WASN'T A TEST PRESS I WOULD BE GRADING THE PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT MINUS!!!
BECAUSE IT STATES ON THE LABEL THAT THE SOUND WILL NOT BE REPRESENTATIVE, I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU TO JUDGE IT
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM HOWARDS OF SLOUGH ENGLAND
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS. THERE ARE EIGHT LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND A COUPLE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE FRONT AT ALL
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE VERY MILD SHELF WEAR WITH SOME SMALL PATCHES OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH AND THE CORNER TIPS LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LITTLE DIMPLES HERE AND THERE, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE VERY TIP ENDS
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CLEAN AND TIDY CONDITION AS THE FRONT, JUST THOSE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT, AND JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE OPENING EDGES IS RAZOR SHARP CONDITION WITH JUST A THUMB NAIL NICK ON EACH TO SHOWN WHERE THE VINYL WAS REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, AND HAS THE CORRECT 8-77 DATE STAMP IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES AND NO AGEING
THIS SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
