AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VINYL THAT HAS AT THE MOST BEEN PLAYED JUST ONCE,
HERE WE HAVE THE GENUINE FIRST PRESS IN THE BEST CONDITION IMAGINABLE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE BASE COLOUR ON THESE DELICATE LABELS ARE STILL PERFECT. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF MARKS OR STAINS ETC. THE COLOUR FULLY STRECTHES UNBLEMISHED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
I HAVE EXAMINED THE SPINDLE HOLE UNDER A SPOT LIGHT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE WHATSOEVER. THIS IS POSSIBLY AN UNPLAYED DISC
THE VINYL
INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL, THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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 INCLUDING THE RUN INS', THE RUN OUT'S AND THE LINKING GROOVES, AND WHILST THIS TAKES ME AN AGE TO PREPARE FOR AUCTION I HAVE DECIDED THAT IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF BIDDERS THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING TO BUY. IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY 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 THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO MAR THE SUBLIME STEREO REPRODUCTION. I HEARD ABOUT 4 SMALL DUST POPS THROUGHT THE ENTIRE PLAY, CERTAINLY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS, JUST THE ODD BIT OF RANDOM STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
THIS LP PLAYS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER WANT. IT IS QUITE STUNNING
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED EASILY RUBBED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.THER ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ON THE SURFACE, AND JUST 2-3 SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE. ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH JUST BY THE ROBOT'S LEFT EAR
THERE IS NO RINGWEAR AT ALL EITHER, NOT EVEN A TOUCH OF RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE VERY LIGHTEST TRACE OF RUBBING
THE SPINE IS A HUGE WIDE SPINE THAT IS UNSQUASHED. THERE IS MILD RUBBING TO THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND A TINY SCUFF JUST OVER THE LETTERS E AND W. THE RED TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS WITHOUT QUESTION AS SHARP AS YOU COULD EVER WISH TO HAVE A COPY. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AGAIN A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS COVER. DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS
THE FIRST PRESS DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO WEAR TO THE TOP OPENING EDGE OR THUMB NOTCH AND NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT. IT IS ALSO FLAT AND UNCREASED
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
