THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES.
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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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
I HAVE DECIDED TO PLAY THE LP FOR THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE DESCRIBING AN ALBUM AS UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT!!
MY ONE CAREFUL PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS. HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT !!!
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SLIGHTLY GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND FLAT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES NOR ARE THERE ANY CREASE LINES EITHER, JUST FOUR SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. ONE ONE THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED
ALSO NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 98% UNRUBBED,APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP WHICH DOES HAVE LIGHT RUBBING, AND THE TOP LEFT ONE ALSO HAS MINOR RUB
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT APART FROM ONE TINY SQUASH WHERE THE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE IS. IT IS RIGHT AT THE TOP END OF THE SPINE. OTHER THAN THIS THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT, AND UNSQUASHED, PLUS NO COLOUR LOSS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENSD. ALL THE RED TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT . TOTALLY PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED, AND JUST THE THREE TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE AS ON THE FRONT. THE BOPTTOM RIGHT CORNER ALSO SHOWS A SPECK OF RUBBING
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION, HAVING HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, IT SHOWS NO AGEING TO THE EDGES, AND IT REMAINS UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT
THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
