THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LIGHT BROWN RSO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
EVEN UNDER A SPOTLIGHT,THERE IS JUST ONE MINISCULE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE, WHICH CERTAINLY MEANS THAT THE LP WAS CAREFULLY PLACED ONTO A TURNTABLE IF INDEED IT WAS AT ALL
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT IS ABSOLUTELY MIRROR FINISH LIKE, AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS THE DAY IT WAS FIRST PRESSED
WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN MAKE OUT JUST TWO WISP[Y HAIRLINES BUT NOTHING TO SUGGEST THAT THIS LP HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN ONCE. IT IS QUITE SUPERB
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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT.
THERE IS SOME VERY VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE VINYL NOISE WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN THE QUIETEST OF PASSAGES (LINKING GROOVES) AND THE ODD LITTLE POP HERE AND THERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FIRST ISSUE FROM JAMES UPTON LIMITED. THE FIRST ISSUE SLEEVES ALSO HAD THE EMBOSSED PLECTRUM IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES. IT ONLY HAS ONE MINISCULE ONE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NO BENDS OR DINGS EITHER
THE COLOURS ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM AMY SHELF WEAR AT ALL AND ARE 100% RICH AND VIBRANT
THE TOP EDGE IS 100% FREE FROM AMY SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS THE BARETS TRACE OF RUBBING IN A FEW SPOTS ALONG THE EDGE
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE MILD RUBBING
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITON AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT UNSPLIT CONDITION AND IT IS CLEAR FROM LOOKING AT THIS THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
