THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK RED AND SILVER UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW LITTLE WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF REALLY MINUSCULE HANDLING LINES, PLUS ON TRACK 4 SIDE TWO THERE ARE 4 SMALL DULL SPOTS AT THE END OF THE TRACK. TOTALLY NON SOUNDING
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 DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL 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 RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO UNWORN .
NO ANY LOUD CLICKS WHATSOEVER, AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER
THERE IS THE BAREST TRACE OF SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE STUFF HEARD OCCASIONALLY,IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I DON'T THINK I HEARD MORE THAN THREE OR FOUR TINY DUST POPS/TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH EITHER
I AM PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS NEAR MINT !!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE
I HAVE OFTEN MENTIONED JUST HOW THIN THESE EARLY STONES ALBUM SLEEVES ARE. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE QUALITY SLEEVES THAT THE BEATLES ALBUMS CAME IN IT, MAKE YOU WONDER WHY THEY DECIDED TO PUT WHAT WOULD BE VERY POPULAR RECORDS IN SLEEVES THAT COULDN'T HANDLE THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF THE VINYL
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY CREASED ALL OVER, ON THIS COPY IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES WHATSOEVER. NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST THREE TINY ONES. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THREE REALLY SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER,WITH THE LAMINATE PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS HAS PERFECT LAMINATE, BUT WHERE THE REAR SURFACE CARD SLIGHTLY OVERHANGS THE FRONT SURFACE, IT IS A LITTLE BURRED. ACTUALLY IT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE THERE
THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, THE TAPERED ENDS HAVE JUST THE VERY TOP TIP LIGHTLY RUBBED, THE TYPEFACE HOWEVER IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED MOST OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE WHICH MORE OFTEN THAN NOT SUFFERS FROM RUBBING. ON THIS COPY THERE IS JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE. THE WHITE OUTER SQUARE HAS JUST VERY MILD HANDLING, AND ONE LIGHT SMALL STAIN ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE IS NO HEAVY RING WEAR
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION,
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
