THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE FIRST PRESS YELLOW LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 40 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL APPEARS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES,IT ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS
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 AM CONVINCED 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 STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS FIRST PRESS IS SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CLEARLY AND CRISPLY HEARD. IT HAS ALSO BEEN QUITE LOUDLY MIXED WHICH ADDS TO THE MAGNIFICENT SOUND GENERATED BY THE VINYL
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE ONE OR TWO PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
A REAL JOY TO LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB SUPERB ALBUM. NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES WHATSOEVER AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE, AND JUST A LITTLE STATIC AT THE VERY START OF SIDE 2, AND TWO TINY LITTLE TICS JUST AFTER THE LINKING GROOVE TO TRACK 2 SIDE ONE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL HEAVY DUTY SHOREWOOD SINGLE UNLAMINATED SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES . AMAZINGLY THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY OF THOSE LITTLE LINES YOU GET NEAR THE SPINE EITHER.A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE LIGHT SHELF RUB
THE SPINE IS STILL VERY FLAT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SEMI FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE BACK EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES TO BE SEEN, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THE PLAIN WHITE DIECUT INNER SLEEVE IS ORIGINAL AND IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. FLAT AND UNSPLIT, AND UNWORN ALONG THE OPENING EDGE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
