THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. AND THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS STILL PURE WHITE AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE ARE AROUND 10 SPIDER LINES SHOWING THAT THE ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES VISIBLE, AND UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION A FEW MORE AND 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 NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIIDERS 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.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PROPERLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND THE FIRST THING TO ELIMINATE IS AN ISSUE WITH DISTORTION. THERE IS ABSOLOUTELY NONE, MENAING THAT THE PLAYS THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED HAVE BEEN DONE WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS BOTH CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUDLY MIXED

THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE, JUST SOME RANDOM LIGHT STUFF MAINLY NEARER THE EARLY TRACKS ON EACH SIDE. THIS CAN BE HEARD DURING THE QUIETER MOMENTS. THERE IS ALSO THREE OR FOUR TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAY

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED AND DELICATE GATEFOLD SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE BLUE SURFACE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE BLUE SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED, UNRUBBED .. 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE TWO LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE TINY ONE, AND ONE LARGER ONE THAT REALLY IS THE ONLY IBVIOUS BLEMISH ON THE SLEEVE.

THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS VERY MINIMAL WEAR WITH A SMALL SLIVER OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH, AND THE CORNERS LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST  NEAR PRISTINE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND APART FROM A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A TINY BIT OF RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION THAT ANY COLLECTOR TO COULD WISH TO HOPE FOR

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE MINT CONDITION INTERIOR PAIR OF SURFACES.WITH A MINT CONDITION BOOKLET PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE SLEEVE

THE INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT

A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
