THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE SILVER BAND IN THE MIDDLE IS UN-RUBBED AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. -THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ONLY 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES BY EACH SIDE OF THE HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS VINYL IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS-
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS YOU COULD WANT.EVEN WHEN PUT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, OTHER THAN ONE TINY MARK IN THE LEAD IN WAX TO SIDE ONE. THIS CAUSES TWO POPS IN THE DEAD WAX AND ONE TINY LITTLE TIC ON THE FIRST BAR OF THE MUSIC
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 JUST KNOW THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND WHILST THIS TAKES ME FAR LONGER TO COMPLETE, I AM CONVINCED THE EFFORT IS WORTH IT
THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS ALL THE WAY. JUST CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL. THIS LP HAS BARELY HAD ANY PLAY AND WHAT LITTLE IT HAS RECEIVED WAS CONDUSTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ONE THAT WAS ALSO UNWORN
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST AS NEW!! NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS
I SIT NO MORE THAN A FEW INCHES FROM MY SPEAKERS AS I TYPE THIS OUT AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR AND STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES, NOR ANY DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A KEEPER COPY OF THIS CLASSIC BOLAN ALBUM THEN I BELIEVE YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE THAN THIS ONE
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN A REAL COLLECTIBLE CONDITION BECAUSE THE LAMINATED SURFACE IS SO EASILY CREASED, AND MOST COPIES LOOK TERRIBLE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS SUSTAINED ZERO!!! COLOUR LOSS , AND THE LAMINATED SURFACE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND ALSO NO RECORD SHAPE. NO LAMINATE PEEL, FLAKE OR LIFT, JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND INCREDIBLY NONE OF THE SMALL LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE EITHER
NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE TINY ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS A MINOR IMPERFECTION ON THE TOP EDGE, WHERE THE MIDDLE OF THE SURFACE HAS A SMALL SCUFF TO THE LAMINATE REVEALING THE UNDERCARD, OTHER THAN THIS THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IMMACULATE, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE IN PERFECT CONDITION AND NO BLEMISHES TO THE CORNER TIPS EITHER
THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE, AND THE LAMINATE IS SMOOTH AND UN DAMAGED. THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO EACH CORNER TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP, AND THIS IN ITSELF TELLS A STORY. IT IS PRETTY CLEAR THE VINYL WAS LEFT UNPLAYED FOR MANY YEARS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A SMALL PAPER SNAG NEAR THE OPENING EDGE AT THE TOP, JUST TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE
THE OFTEN MISSING LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CREASE FREE CONDITION
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. IT IS UN-CREASED AND UNSPLIT, AND VERY WHITE
DESPITE THE SMALL BLEMISHES ON THE TOP EDGE IS AM STILL HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
