THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PASTEL GREEN LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NOT ONE BLEMISH OR MARK ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHERE THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THEM.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND LOOKS TO BE TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE ON EITHER SIDE
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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 FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NOR IS THERE ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER.
THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN THE LINKING GROOVES PLUS A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS AND TICS AT RANDOM
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE STILL HAS A SUPERB GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE LAMINATE, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES OF BENDS TO IT.
THERE ARE SEVEN SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. A SIMILAR AMOUNT ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES THOUGH NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL FULLY LAMINATED AND ONLY THE VERY CORNER TIP ENDS SHOW A SPECK OF RUBBING
THE SPINE IS A LITTLE FLATTENED AT THE TOP HALF AND SOME OF THE LAMINATE LINES FROM THE FRONT HAVE CREPT ROUND ONTO THE SPINE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE HOWEVER IS STILL ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO LOSS OF LAMINATE
.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG IT.
THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE PERIMETER EDGES ARE VISIBLE, BUT THAT'S ABOUT ALL.
THE EMI ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS INTOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND STILL VERY FLAT WITH JUST A LIGHT RECORD IMPRESSION AND SOME AGEING TO THE SEAMS.
THE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
