THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE WHITE TEST LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT MINT!! CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.
OF COURSE THERE IS NO TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S ON THE LABEL
THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS CLEAN AND STILL VERY GLOSSY. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE DULL STREAK LINE VISIBLE
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 NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED EITHER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS
AS SIDE TWO STARTS AND FOR A FEW ROTATIONS THERE IS A LITTLE SCUFFY NOISE ONCE PER ROTATION. THIS VERY QUICKLY DISAPPEARS, OTHER THAN THIS JUST THE VERY ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO SOUND IS IMMENSE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY STATIC TICS / POPS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE REPRODUCTION.
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GIMMIX STYLE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE BOOK STYLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THIS IS QUITE RARE AS THIS SLEEVE IS A POROUS WHITE AND STAINS AND MARKS VERY EASILY. THERE IS NO MORE THAN A TINY SPECK OF NATURAL HANDLING. TO THE SPINE EDGE, PLIS A COUPLE OF THE TABS HAVE CREASE LINES ON THEM
THE FLAPS THAT FORM EACH PAGE ARE IN RAZOR SHARP CONDITION, NO NICKS OR SCUFFS
THERE ARE FOUR LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THE TOP TIP HAS SOME LIGHT SHELF RUB, AND THE SURFACE IS A LITTLE AGED. THE BLUE TYPEFACE IS ALL LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ,NO THUMB NAIL NICKS AND NO BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS SOME RING WEAR, AND THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALSO LIGHTLY RUBBED
OPENING THE FOUR 'PAGES' IN TURN REVEALS NEAR PERFECT WHITE SURFACES.AGAIN JUST A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING ON THE EDGES
