THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RAINBOW RIMMED CAPITOL LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE JET BLACK AND TEXTURED BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DEACRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE AT ALL
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN SOME VERY VERY FINE 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, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS 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 MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT REALLY IS.
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. THIS MEANS THAT ANY PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED AND THAT IS DEBATEABLE WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS
THE STEREO SOUND IS CUT LOUDLY AND REPRODUCES SUPERBLY, WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE AND I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS EITHER
THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC LIKE STUFF HEARD ONLY DURING THE VERY QUIETEST MOMENTS AND THEN AS I SIT ONLY 18 INCHES AWAY FROM MY SPEAKERS AS I TYPETHIS OUT I GET TO HEAR EVERY BLEMISH. MOVING TO A NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE AND EVEN THIS LIGHT STUFF ALL BUT DISAPPEARS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING FLIPBACK SINGLE SLEEVE WITH A LAMINATED FRONT AND NON LAMINATED REAR
THE FRONT SURFACE IS WITHOUT ANY QUESTION THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. IT IS VERY EVIDENT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE IS NOT ONE MARK OR LAMINATE CREASE ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE AT ANY POINT. EVEN THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. NO THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPNEING EDGE EITHER.
THERE CANNOT BE A BETTER EXAMPLE ANYWHERE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. NO DAMAGE TO THE LAMINATE AND ALL 4 CORNERS ARE SQUARE AND UNRUBBED
THE SPINE HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. THE SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AT ANY POINT, AND EVERY BIT OF THE LAMINATE IS THERE, EVEN DOWN TO THE TIPS TOP AND BOTTOM
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS, THAT ARE UNMARKED IN ANYWAY. NO CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER.
THE WHITE SURFACE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW THERE IS NO AGEING OR HANDLING TO THE VERY POROUS SURFACE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SAME GOES FOR THE PICTURES WHICH HAVE NO RUBBING AT ALL
THE EMI ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS JUST MINT!!! TOTALLY FLAT WITHOUT A CREASE LINE ON IT ANYWHERE. ALL OF THE SEAMS ARE UNSPLIT, AND EVEN THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY UNWORN
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
