THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SILVER BLACK FONTANA LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE BLACK SURFACE IS THE TEXTURED ORIGINAL ISSUE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS 3-4 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUND IT, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. IT IS CLEAR THAT IT HASN'T HAD MORE THAN A FEW PLAYS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY FINE AND NON THREATENING HANDLING LINES WHEN ANGLED INTO LIGHT, AND WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, A FEW MORE, AND THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES
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 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
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 OUTSTANDING MONO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WAS UNWORN OR UNDAMAGED
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL, AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
SO WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS AN AMAZING FIRST PRESS THAT IS VIRTUALLY SILENT BETWEEN THE TRACKS, THAT GIVES THE CLEAREST. CLEANEST MONO REPRODUCTION WITH THE ODD LITTLE TIC HERE AND THERE, AND THE VERY OCCASIONAL BIT OF STATIC HEARD ONLY BETWEEN THE TRACKS IF AT ALL
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND PASTED ON NO LAMINATED REAR SURFACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS HIGHLY POLISHED AND GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. CLEARLY THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN WELL PROTECTED FROM NEW. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR BENDS, AND NO LARGE CREASE LINES EITHER.
THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE,AND A A SIMILAR NEAR INVISIBLE AMOUNT UP AGAINST THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE OF ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT, APART FROM THE ABSOLUTE TIP ENDS OF THE CORNERS WHICH HAVE LIGHT RUBBING
THE SPINE HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY IN PLACE . NO PEEL OR FLAKE AND IT IS ALSO FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, .
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED THAT MUCH
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A PASTE OVER VERY MUCH LIKE THE AMERICAN SLEEVES. IT HAS REMAINED VERY WHITE WITH JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF HANDLING TO THE EXTREME EDGES. SOME ONE HAS NEATLY PENNED THE NUMBER 362 IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER.
ALL OF THE TEXT AND PICTURES HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED
THE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND CREASE FREE WITH JUST SOME LIGHT BROWNING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
