THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW STONES LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE, AND THAT'S EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS, AND AS I PLACED THE VINYL OVER MY SPINDLE I COULD FEEL HOW TIGHT THE HOLE WAS AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS THE FIRST PLAY THE DISC HAS EVER HAD
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAY LIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE. A TOTALLY PRISTINE VINYL.
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 AS I JUST KNOW 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 SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY , BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM AN UNPLAYED VINYL.
AS I MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING, THE VINYL HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED AND MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL LEAVE NO TRACES WHATSOEVER.
SO THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE BECAUSE THE DISC IS MINT, AND NO VINYL NOISE EITHER.
I GAVE THE VINYL A GOOD CLEAN PRIOR TO PLAYING AS IT HADN'T EVER SEEN A TURNTABLE, AND I BELIEVE IT COULD DO WITH FURTHER CLEANING JUST TO REMOVE THE TWO OR THREE SPECKS OF STATIC AND A FEW TINY STATIC TICS THAT I HEARD DURING THE PLAY
SO AN UNPLAYED VINYL THAT I WOULD GRADE AS MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST SLEEVES TO COLLECT EVER!!
MOST WILL HAVE A BENT TOP TAB AND ZIP MARKS ON THE REAR WHERE THE COPIES WERE STACKED TOGETHER IN THE PACKING BOXES. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS PERFECT IN BOTH AREAS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST AMAZING. FIRSTLY LETS START BY SAYING THE THE ZIPPER WORKS PERFECTLY.
THE BELT BUCKLE IS TOTALLY CREASE FREE!! CANNOT BELIEVE IT MYSELF BUT THERE IT IS. ABSOLUTELY MINT!!!!!
THE WHITE AREA OF THE SLEEVE IS STILL VERY VERY WHITE AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE SLEEVE HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE OUTER PLASTIC MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES.
THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR TO THE BLACK AREAS EITHER.
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NO CREASES BENDS OR ANY OTHER ANOMALY. NOT EVEN THE SMALL LINES THAT FORM NEAR THE SPINE. THERE ARE MINISCULE DINGS TO THE TOP LEFT AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. THE SPINES ARE ALSO PRISTINE WITH EVER LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND NO RUBBING OR WEAR TO EITHER OF THEM
THE TOP OPENING EDGE IS AGAIN JUST PRISTINE. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
ITS ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THE SLEEVE HAS NO RING WEAR OR EVER RECORD SHAPE
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND SPECIAL AS THE FRONT . USUALLY THIS HAS MANY DENTS IN IT CAUSED BY THE ZIP WHICH WHEN THE LP'S WERE STACKED IN BOXES FROM THE FACTORY, PRESSED INTO EACH OTHER CAUSING THE DENTS AND SCRATCHES ON THE REAR SURFACE. THIS ONE IS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER ONE I HAVE SEEN, WITH JUST TWO PIN PRICKS, WHERE THERE ARE USUALLY MULTIPLE DENTS AND ONE LIGHT SCRATCH TO THE SURFACE ON THE RIGHT BUTTOCK
THE INSERT WITH THE PICTURE OF THE BAND ON ONE SIDE AND THE RED TONGUE ON THE OTHER. THIS IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION, AS IS THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT
A REAL VAULT COPY OF THIS LP SET
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
