THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND WHITE DERAM PRESS LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE WHITE AREA IS VERY WHITE AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED AREA IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE ARE 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY HEAVYWEIGHT GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND SOME ULTRA FINE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES TO BE SEEN
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.
THIS LP HAS SO MANY QUIET ORCHESTRAL PASSAGES, THAT ANY UNWANTED BACKGROUND NOISE IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE IN MY EYES. THIS HAS TO PLAY TO PERFECTION OR VERY CLOSE TO IN MY BOOK.
TRYING TO FIND A DECENT COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS IS A REAL CHALLENGE AND I HAVE DISCARDED 99% OF ANY THAT I HAVE PICKED UP
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANY LP THEY ARE CONSIDERING PLACING A BID ON,
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
FIRSTLY THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE ON THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH. MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS DISC HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE OCCASIONAL ODD SPECK OF STATIC HERE AND THERE, AND CONSIDERING HOW SILENT MOST OF THE PASSAGES ARE THIS IS REALLY RARE. THERE IS A FRACTION MORE ON SIDE TWO THAN SIDE ONE, BUT ITS NEGLIGIBLE REALLY
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN JUST ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THE RECORDINGS WILL GIVE YOU A GREAT OVERVIEW OF THE ALBUM, AND IT PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS, BUT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS MINT MINUS, NEAR MINT AT THE WORST!!
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS THE GENUINE FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE, WHICH HAS THE WHITE BORDER ACROSS THE TOP WHICH THE LATER ISSUES DID NOT HAVE.
ALSO THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE SLEEVE HAS TO HAVE THE PINK AND BLUE DSS LOGO IN IT.
THE SLEEVE HAS TO BE A CLOUT AND BAKER SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THE LAMINATE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS.
THERE ARE JUST THREE TINY LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE WHATSOEVER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH ONE TINY SCUFF ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE SPINE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE, NO PEEL OR FLAKE AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR . ONLY THE VERY TIP AT THE BOTTOM HAS A SPECK OF RUB TO IT.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE IS THE UNLAMINATED SIDE AND MOST PRONE TO WEAR AND TEAR. HERE THE WHITE SURFACE HAS REMAINED VERY CLEAN ALL ACROSS THE SURFACE. THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING TO THE OUTER EDGES AND A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE ORIGINAL DECCA POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN AN UNSPLIT CONDITION. AND APART FROM A COUPLE OF TRACES OF GLUE AGEING , IS IN MINT CONDITION
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
