THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST PERFECT. NO MARKS OR STAINS, OR SIGNS OF HANDLING, JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ON A RECORD THAT HAS ONLY BEEN ON A TURNTABLE JUST ONCE OR TWICE
THE BLUE LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UN-RUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I COULD ONLY MAKE OUT ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
A VERY HEAVY AND BARELY FLEXIBLE ORIGINAL 1962 RECORD THAT IS IN AMAZING ORIGINAL CONDITION.
ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING PRISTINE VINYL. HAS A MIRROR LIKE FINISH TO IT, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE DISC, AND EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT DULL SPECKLES EMBEDDED IN THE VINYL. NO MARKS OR SCRATCHES ETC
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 LP 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 LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO AUDIBLE AUDIBLE STATIC AND NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT FOR THE AUDIO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT IN MY HUMBLE OPINION A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS NEAR PERFECT
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THERE IS A SMALL SPECK OF LAMINATE PEEL JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE IN THE LEFT CORNER AREA. THREE OF THE CORNER TIPS HAVE A TINY LITTLE BIT OF RUB
THOSE ARE THE ONLY MINOR FAULTS ON THIS FRONT SURFACE. THE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SLEEVE
THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE CORNER
THE TOP EDGE HAS VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE THE DELICATE COLOUR STRETCHING ACROSS THE THE SLEEVE FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP, AND A TINY BIT ON THE LEFT CORNER.
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST AS PERFECT. DEEP RICH COLOUR ALL THE WAY ALONG AND ONLY A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UN-SQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE, AND ONLY THE VERY TOP TIP END SHOWS A SPECK OF WHITE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS, WHICH IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FROM NEW
THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE PASTE ON STILL FIRMLY ADHERED. THERE IS A SHADOW OF NATURAL HANDLING / AGEING TO THE WHITENESS, AND BLP HAS BEEN INKED JUST UNDER THE CATALOGUE NUMBER
THE BLUE NOTE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS, BARELY A CREASE LINE AND ONLY A LITTLE AGEING, PLUS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER WRITTEN IN ONE CORNER
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
