THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN YELLOW AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE BUT A COUPLE OF MICROSCOPIC 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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.
THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN THREE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS !!!!!
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A WHITE BORDER THAT LIKE MOST EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN HAS LIGHTLY AGED AROUND THE EDGES. SO WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY THE REST OF THE FRONT HAS FULLY RETAINED COLOURS. RICH, VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED.
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR AND JUST THE ABSOLUTE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN TOP CONDITION. THE WHITE SURFACE RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE ARE A FEW TINY SPECKS OF RUN TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE, PARTICULARLY ON THE BLUE SECTION. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP , SHOWING WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE ALL THESE YEARS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT THE FRONT,
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT CONDITION. FLAT AND UNCREASED
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION
THIS IS A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
