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 JUST TWO SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES.
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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP 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 PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THIS DISC PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC IN THE BACKGROUND ANYWHERE
THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS RIGHT AT THE END OF SIDE TWO IN THE RUN OUT GROOVE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST VIRTUALLY NONE OF THE ORIGINAL DELICATE PASTEL COLOURS . JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING AROUND THE EDGES, AND A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS NEAR THE SPINE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!! SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RING WEAR OR AMAZINGLY EVEN RECORD SHAPE TO THIS THIN CARDED COVER
THE TOP EDGE HAS A TINY DENT IN THE MIDDLE AND A COUPLE OF WHITE PIN PRICKS ALONG THE SURFACE, AND A NOTHER ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH ONLY A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIPS.
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND AGAIN FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE HAS ONE LITTLE NICK TO IT (SMALL TEAR)
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AND AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER,APART FROM THAT VERY LIGHT EDGE GREYING AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. PLUS NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS WITH JUST THAT SMALL NICK ON THE OPENING EDGE
THE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, HAS THE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND THERE ARE NO CREASES OR SPLITS AT ALL.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER NEAR MINT MINUS!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
