THIS COPY OF TECHNICAL ECSTASY IS HOUSED IN A SLEEVE I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
EVERY COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN OR HANDLED HAS HAD A MATT ROBERT STACE SLEEVE. THIS FIRST PRESS HAS A SHINY LAMINATED SURFACE FRONT AND BACK. I IMMEDIATELY COMPARED IT TO MY PERSONAL COPY AND THE DIFFERENCE IS VERY CLEAR TO THE EYE AND TO THE TOUCH. THIS SLEEVE IS ALSO MADE BY ROBERT STACE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND COMPLETELY UNMARKED, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS CLASSIC ALBUM HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. APART FROM A FEW 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, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. WITH A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION AND PRODUCTION
EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY. THERE IS NO FRYING BACON OR SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLING AT ALL ANYWHERE!!
NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS ETC.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE ONLY BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IS HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES ONLY
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY BENDS OR FOLDS AND NO DEEP CREASE LINES.
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND HAS A DEEP SHEEN TO IT.
THERE ARE SIX TINY LITTLE LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE , TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH STILL PERFECTLY WHITE AND REMAIN UNRUBBED, ONLY THE RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THEM.
THE WAFER THIN SPINE HAS A FEW LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ALONG THE LENGTH. . THE BOTTOM TIP HAS THE SMALLEST SPECK OF RUB THERE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP ALONG BOTH EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST LIKE THE FRONT WITH JUST SIX TINY LINES ALONG THE SPINE, AND NONE ELSEWHERE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS, VERY WHITE AND UNCREASED, JUST SOME GLUE AGEING TOT HE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET THAT IS OFTEN MISSING IS IN MINT!!! CONDITION
THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT!!!!!
