THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLEAS IS THE AREA SURROUNDING THE FONTANA LOGO. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST TWO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCELLENTCONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . .IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS , ANWHILST INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE JUST A FEW WIPSY HAIRLINES AND HANDLING LINES TO BE SEEN, AND A LIGHT BAGRASH PATTERN.
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 RECORDED THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I AM CONVINCED 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
CLEARLY WHAT PLAY THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A TOP SYSTEM WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS TRACKED AND WEIGHTED CORRECTLY, AND UNWORN BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAY
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VERY CRISP AND CLEAN
THERE IS LIGHT BACKGROUND HEARD DURING THE QUIETER PASSAGES AND CLICKS TIC AND POPS RANDOMLY SPREAD THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
THE VINYL GRADES EXCELLENT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM AND JUDGE ITS QUALITY FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI GLOSSY UNLAMINATED SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION. IT IS VERY VULNERABLE TO DIRT AND GRIME, BUT THIS ONE HAS ESCAPED THE RAVAGES OF TIME
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES, AND THERE IS STILL A NICE SHEEN TO THE SURFACE
THERE ARE SOME TINY LINES AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES AND TWO OF THE CORNERS HAVE VERY LIGHT LINES TRAVELLING ACROSS THEM.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR TO THE SLEEVE
99% OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETEINED WITH JUST A SHADE OF VERY LIGHT RUBBING TO THE FONTANA LOGO IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SHOWING VERY VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR, AND THE VERY TIPS OF THE CORNERS ALSO HAVE LIGHT WEAR
THE SPINE AGAIN HAS THE LIGHTEST OF SHELF WEAR, ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS SOME MILD WEAR TO SOME OF THE LETTERS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF MINISCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW WHERE THE LP WAS REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE A FEW TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPER CONDITION AS THE FRONT, WITH NO HEAVY CREASING, JUST A FEW NEAR THE SPINE, ON THE FLIPBACK. THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL PERFECTLY ADHERED.
THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST LIGHT HANDLING NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, ONE TINY NICK TO ONE SIDE OF THE DIE CUT HOLE, AND A FEW MOTTLE STAINS
THE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
