THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER SECTIONS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 5-6 SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE
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 DOUBLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS 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
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A FEW TINY AND RANDOM STATIC LIKE TICS MOSTLY ON SIDE A, AND JUST A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AND HAS A REMARKABLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO EX+ / MINT MINUS
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS GLOSSY GLEAMING LAMINATE
THE COLOURS UNDERNEATH ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT
THERE IS A SMALL BIT OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNERS
NO RING WEAR JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE FIVE SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. SIX ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH THAT BOT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS RUB AND WEAR TO THE TWO CORNERS
THE SPINE IS ALSO LAMINATED AND LIKE THE OTHER SEALED EDGES THERE IS A LITTLE TINY BIT OF RUB AT THE TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE FEATHERING IN PLACES
THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT WITH A CREASE LINES RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER IN ADDITION
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL ONE WHICH IS IN SPLIT FREE CONDITION AND HAS THE LYRICS AND SIGNATURE OF IAN ANDERSON
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
