THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL LOOK ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAY GRADE
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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. 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
FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS ITS THE VINYL. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING EXTRA SPECIAL
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY NOTE IS LOUD, CLEAN AND CRISP, JUST HOW IT WAS INTENDED TO BE HEARD.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, TRUE FIRST PRESS AUDIO QUALITY AND IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED. THERE ARE SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM THAT ANY SERIOUS NOISE WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND ONLY THE VERY OCCASIONAL SPECK OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES OR MORE SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY LITTLE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE/ RINGWEAR VISIBLE
THERE ARE THREE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TEN ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A FEW PRESSURE INDENT LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE CORNER TIPS ARE ALSO A LITTLE RUBBED
THE TOP EDGE ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING ALONG IT WHICH IS UNRUBBED. THE CORNER TIP HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUBBING. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH ONE OR TWO ADDITIONAL WHITE FLECKS ELSEWHERE
THE SPINE IS A LITTLE SQUASHED AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS TINY WHITE FLECKS VISIBLE WHERE THE TOP SURFACE HAS CHIPPED A LITTLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A LITTLE MILD BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION TO THE FRONT WITH LESS RING WEAR
THE INSERT SHEET IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION JUST A TINY THUMB NAIL NICK TO ONE EDGE.
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT. LIGHTLY WRINKLED
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE VERY GOOD PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
