THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE PICTURES AND COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. . THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL NEAR THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, IT LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID WHEN IT WAS FIRST PRESSED IN 1974
EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM THE VERY ODD WISP.
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 AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS. IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A STUNNING AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM THE VINYL.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD A COUPLE OF THE SILENT PASSAGES ONLY.
THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE PLAY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT !!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE UNLAMINATED HEAVILY TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS HEAVILY TEXTURED AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS, AND MOST COPIES THAT YOU WILL SEE WILL BE HEAVILY WORN.PARTICULARLY AT THE CORNERS WHICH ALWAYS SEEM TO SUFFER ON THIS SLEEVE
THE ORANGE COLOUR ALSO USUALLY RUBS AT THE HIGH PINTS OF THE TEXTURED SURFACE MAKING A MOTTLED WHITE LOOK TO THE COVER. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE A SLEEVE THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ALL OVER
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN, AND ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE BEEN PRESERVED AND REMAIN UNRUBBED (APART FROM A TINIEST SPECK OF WHITE JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE 'N' OF HARRISON). AND IN PARTICULAR THE BLUE EMBOSSED TEXT IS JUST SUPERB. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE AND AMAZINGLY THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, NO THUMB LINES EITHER NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE USUALLY FOUND STRIPPED OF ALL ORANGE, BUT HERE THE TOP EDGE HAS JUST A COUPLE OF WHITE PINPRICKS SHOWING THROUGH, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SOME FINE WHITE FLECKS RANDOMLY ALONG IT, AND THAT BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER RUB.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE VERY BOTTOM TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP , WITH A TINY SPECK OF BURR AT THE VERY BOTTOM,SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP AND SLEEVE HAS REMAINED IN THE CONDITION IT HAS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION,FREE FROM ANY SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR PERIMETER EDGES, AND NO HEAVY CREASES EITHER. ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED
THE ORIGINAL CARD PHOTO INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT ORIGINAL UNSPLIT CONDITION.A COUPLE OF TINY PRESSURE LINES ON THE EDGES AND A PERFECT THUMB NOTCH.
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
