THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE COLOURED LABELS ARE NEAR PRISTINE. THERE ARE A FEW BLACK SPOTS ON THE A SIDE. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE NEXT TO IT
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES. THE VINYL HAS THAT FEEL ABOUT IT WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE INNER SLEEVE THAT YOU ONLY GET WITH AN UNPLAYED DISC
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
ISLAND/CHRYSALIS VINYL USUALLY HAS A LITTLE VINYL NOISE DUE TO THE PRESSING AND THIS ONE HAS JUST THE BAREST SPECK WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD OCCASIONALLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS !!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THE DEEP COLOURS ARE ALL UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING PERFECTLY ACROSS THE SURFACE. THERE IS ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE VERY TIP END OF THE RIGHT TIPS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE BLACK BASE COLOUR HAS NO RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THERE ARE TWO WHITE PIN PRICKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND ONE MINUSCULE WHITE SCUFF SHOWING
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT WITH JUST TWO LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NO COLOUR LOSS AT ALL
THE DIE CUT POLY LINED WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO MARKS OR STAINS.
THE PROMO PHOTO HAS A FEW TINY DIMPLES ON THE RIGHT SIDE, AND THE DETAIL OF ANABAS PRODUCTS LTD WHO HELD THE COPYRIGHT TO THE IMAGE. IT IS ALSO AUTHENTICALLY DATED 1977
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
