PINK FLOYD - WISH YOU WERE HERE
IN MAGNIFICENT UNPLAYED MINT!!! / MINT MINUS!!! CONDITION
THE RARE NIMBUS SUPERCUT PRESS
- CATALOGUE:HARVEST SHVLP814
- MATRIX: SHVL814-A1 / B1
- NIMBUS ENGLAND STAMPED INTO DEAD WAX BOTH SIDES
THE NIMBUS SUPERCUT ISSUE OF THIS ALBUM WAS ONLY MADE AVAILABLE TO READERS OF HI-FI TODAY MAGAZINE. IT WAS MASTERED AND PRESSED EXCLUSIVELY AND IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN ALBUM FOR AUDIOPHILES.
I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE LP HAS THE CLARITY OF A COMPACT DISC WITH THE WARMTH AND DEPTH THAT YOU ONLY GET FROM VINYL. IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST EVER RECORDING OF WISH YOU WERE HERE!!!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE HARVEST PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND STILL HAS SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE FROM THE FACTORY PRESSING MACHINE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
A BEAUTIFUL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, THAT GLEAMS LIKE NEW. LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED.
IT IS TOTALLY SPOTLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE AT ALL
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 WAS IN TWO MINDS WHETHER TO PLAY THIS ALBUM, BUT I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW AMAZING THIS RECORDING IS, AND SO MY ONE VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY HAS JUST FINISHED AND THESE ARE THE RESULTS.
AN ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING VINYL REPRODUCTION THAT IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD THIS ALBUM SOUND
ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT
THE REPRODUCTION JUST HAS TO BE HEARD. COMPARING IT TO A STANDARD COPY OF WISH YOU WERE HERE AND THE DIFFERENCES ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR. FIRSTLY THE WHOLE THING HAS BEEN CUT AT A LOUDER VOLUME THAN THE STANDARD ISSUE, AND THE CLARITY OF THE INSTRUMENTS IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND MARVEL AT THE RECORDING
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES WHATSOEVER, AND CERATINLY NO CLICKS OR VINYL NOISE
SOME VERY VERY ODD SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS, AND SOME MINUSCULE DUST POPS ON A FEW OCCAIONS ARE THE ONLY THING STOPPING THIS GETTING A FULL MINT GRADE
SO I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS!!!
IT IS MAGNIFICENT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN TO THIS ONE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
A PURE WHITE SLEEVE THAT HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ALL OF ITS LIFE
THERE IS ONE AND ONLY ONE FLAW WITH THIS COVER AND THAT IS A SMALL SCUFF TO THE TOP EDGE. I HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES BEFORE AND I GUARANTEE THAT IT WAS NOT DONE BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER, BUT ACTUALLY WHISLT IN THE PACKING CASE FROM THE FACTORY. I AM CERTAIN THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE EITHER AT THE FACTORY OR BY THE SHOP THAT RECEIVED THE PACKAGE CONTAINING THE LP'S
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, AND IT HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS THEREFORE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY
THE WHITE SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED AND IS SUPERBLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY WHITE!!!
SECONDLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER.
THERE ARE ALSO NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. AND INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE EITHER AND THAT'S UNHEARD OF.NO LINES EITHER NEAR THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGES
THE NIMBUS STICKER IS FIRMLY AFFIXED TO THE RIGHT EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, APART FROM THE SCUFF ALONG THE TOP THAT I HAVE PREVIOUSLT MENTIONED. ALL OF THE CORNER TIPS ARE PRISTINE!!!
THE SPINE IS ALSO UNWORN, IS FLAT AND UNSWUASHED AND HAS EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED. NOT ONE THUMB NAIL NICK
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE FRONT AGAIN NO LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE
THE ORIGINAL POSTCARD IS INCLUDED INSIDE THE SLEEVE AND IS IN MINT CONDITION
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS THE ROUNDED CORNERS AND A THUMB NOTCH, AND THE ORIGINAL OWNER PLACED AN ANTI STATIC SLEEVE INSIDE THE CARD INNER TO PROTECT THE DISC.
THE INNER IS IN MINT CONDITION. AGAIN PURE WHITE AND TOTALLY UNSPLIT. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO WRINKLES BENDS OR FOLDS
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
AN OUTSTANDING VAULT CONDITION COLLECTIBLE THAT WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
