I AM GOING TO BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEK A SMALL BATCH OF VERY HIGHLY GRADED COLLECTIBLE VINYLS. MOST ARE IN UNPLAYED / ONE PLAY MINT/ MINT MINUS CONDITION. AND WOULD BE CONSIDERED FINAL UPGRADE COPIES
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND WHITE STEREO LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.THE REDAREAS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED, WHILST THE WHITE SECTIONS ARE PURE WHITE AND UNMARKED .THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN, AND A CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS JUST THE ONE!! SPIDER LINE SHOWING THAT THIS 41 YEAR OLD VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THE DISC SHOWS NO SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NO MORE THAN SOME OF THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN.
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES BECAUSE THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS QUITE BRILLIANT, AND THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS, A LITTLE STATIC LIKE STUFF FROM TIME TO TIME HEARD IN THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE THOUGH
I HEARD A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS/TICS HERE AND THERE MOST OF WHICH ARE AROUND 9 MINUTES INTO SIDE TWO FOR A FEW SECONDS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SOUND QUALITY NEAR MINT !!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AND YOU BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS ROBERT STACE LAMINATED GATEFOLD UK SLEEVE
HERE WE HAVE A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THE LAMINATE STILL SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, JUST ONE ABOVE THE GIRLS HEAD
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE PERFECT LAMINATE WHICH RUNS UNBROKEN FROM CORNER TO CORNER , AND NO RUBBING EVEN TO ANY OF THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE WHICH USUALLY HAS SERIOUS SHELF WEAR AND RUBBING, IS IN THIS CASE IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE, EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND IS FREE OF ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS, ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE IN FACT.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AGAIN GLEAMING LAMINATE, AND JUST ONE SMALL LAMINATE LINE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NONE ON ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES
ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS NO EVIDENCE OF RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AND MINT INNER PAIR OF PANELS
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNSPLIT WITH JUST A SHADOW OF GLUE AGEING TO THE PERIMETERS.
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
