- THE RECORDS
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 IS ONE WISPY HAIRLINE
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 CLEAR AS A BELL
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 ONE TINY DUST POP 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
SEMI-LAMINATED 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.
THERE IS A SMALL PATCH WHERE THE LAMINATE HAS COME AWAY FROM WHERE THE PRICE STICKER WAS PLACED. VERY COMMON ON THIS TYPE OF SLEEVE.
THERE ARE JUST THREE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED
THE BOTTOM CORNER TIPS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED
ALSO NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGE HAS THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND ONLY A FEW PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH.
THE BOTTOM EDGE DOES HAVE LIGHT SHELF WEAR IN PATCHES AND MORE AT THE CORNERS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT , BUT THERE IS SOME LOSS OF COLOUR AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS, AND A FEW WHITE CHIPS SHOWING THROUGH THE BLUE SURFACE. THE RED TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE HOWEVER.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK
THE REAR SURFACE ONLY HAS A FEW TINY LINES AROUND THE EDGES. NO OTHER WEAR AT ALL
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT. HAS SOME GLUE AGEING TO THE SEAMS AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THIS SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT !!!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
