Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.comTHE LABELS
THE LIGHT TAN LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION SHOWING NO STAINS OR MARKS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR.
THE TYPEFACE IS EQUALLY PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I HAD TO REALLY LOOK CLOSE TO SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AT ALL, BUT DID SPOT A SINGLE ONE WHEN I ANGLED THE LABEL INTO THE INTENSE ILLUMINATION OF A SPOTLIGHT, THERE IS ALSO A SHARD OF RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN NICE CONDITION AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS SOME DULLING TO THE SURFACE. IT LOOKS EMBEDDED AND PATCHY AND MOSTLY AROUND THE OUTER RIM THAN IN THE CENTRE. IN ADDITION THERE ARE SOME 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 AM CONVINCED THAT BIIDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
WHAT THIS VINYL GIVES YOU IS A TRULY FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION AND SEVERE BACKGROUND CRACKLING.
THE CLARITY OF THE MIX IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VERY CLEAN
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREO SOUND AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TW0
I HEARD A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE TICS ON SIDE ONE, AND ABOUT 5-6 ON SIDE TWO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAY THROUGH AS NEAR MINT / EX+
YOU SHOULD TAKE A LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM AND JUDGE ITS QUALITY FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL ISLAND' NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE THAT IS REALLY VERY HARD TO GET IN ANY SORT OF COLLECTABLE CONDITION, USUALLY BECAUSE THE MIRROR IS SCRATCHED AND CLOUDY AND THE DIECUT FRAME AROUND THE MIRROR IS OFTEN TORN
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES. THERE IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF DARKENING AROUND THE BORDERS OF THIS SILVER GREY COLOURED SLEEVE
THE DIE CUT FRAME IS UNBLEMISHED APART FROM THE TINIEST NICKS IN THE BOTTOM CORNERS
THE MIRROR IS STILL INCREDIBLY SHINY AND ONLY HAS SOME DULLING IN THE CENTRE
THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. ONE ON TH TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS MOST OF THE SILVER SURFACE INTACT WITH JUST A LITTLE RUB IN THE LEFT CORNER, AND A SMALL SPECK ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS MORE RUB TO THE CORNERS AND A FEW FLECKS OF UNDER CARD VISIBLE ALONG THE SURFACE
THE SPINE HAS A LITTLE RUB AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. AND A LITTLE IN THE MIDDLE SECTION.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, HAS JUST THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. THE SILVER SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE
THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS BADLY FROM GRIME AND SEAM SPLITS. THIS ONE HAS A TINY SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTM AND ONLY HAS MILD HANDLING TO THE DELICATE WHITE SURFACE, AND A TINY NICK ON THE END OF THE THUMB NOTCH, PLUS ONE CORNER CREASE LINE
THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
