THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS VERY GLOSSY AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN 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 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
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND SECONDLY THE OUTSTANDING LOUD AND POWERFUL MONO SOUND IS A CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED JAMES UPTON SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS AN UNLAMINATED CREAM COLOUR, AND HAS BEEN HANDLED SOMEWHAT AND HAS THEREFORE LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING, PARTICULARLY AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES. THERE IS ALSO ONE CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE FIRST TWO LETTERS OF THE WORD CREAM
THERE ARE ZERO LINES NEAR THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99%% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. THE PALE COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND RUNS PERFECT ACROSS THE SURFACES. THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP IS THE ONLY AREA THAT SHOWS A SPECK OF RUB
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNRUBBED. THE GREEN TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICK TO SHOW THAT THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN OUT OF IT'S SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS. THERE IS A VERY MILD TOUCH OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES .
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
