THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE FAMOUS SAILING SHIP RAK LABEL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. NO MARKS OR LINES ANYWHERE, AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO SPOT A LITTLE DULLNESS TO A SMALL PART OF SIDE TWO AND A COUPLE OF 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 RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR TO THE ALBUM

THERE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH THE BRASS SECTION IN PARTICULAR BEING HEARD WITH ULTRA CLARITY

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER, AND I HEARD PERHAPS A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES ABOUT 6 MINUTES INTO SIDE TWO THERE IS ONE ROTATION WHERE THERE IS SOME EMBEDDED SCUFFY NOISE AND ONE POP (NOTHING VISIBLE ON THE VINYL)

OTHER THAN THIS NO DUST POPS OR TICS AT ALL

THE VINYL PERFORMS AT A MINT!!!  GRADE WITH EASE

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE FLIPBACK SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL SUPREMELY GLOSSY AND SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND INCREDIBLY NOT ONE LAMINATE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS FULLY INTACT AND RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO RUBBING TO THE CORNERS AT ALL. IN FACT THE CORNERS ARE PERFECTLY SHARP AND SQUARE. CLEARLY THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM DAY ONE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER

THE LAMINATED SPINE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. AGAIN NO RUBBING ANYWHERE , AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND THE UNLAMINATED WHITE SURFACE IS STILL PERFECTLY WHITE, MORE EVIDENCE OF ABSOLUTE PROTECTION

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR WRINKLES. NO MARKS OR STAINS EITHER

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT!!!!

 

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

GARRY
