THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, AND IN ADDITION THERE IS STILL A SHARD OF RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE FROM THE PRESSING PLANT
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE AND THAT'S ALL
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. I DO THIS WITH EVERY RECORD I LIST BECAUSE I AM CERTAIN THAT GIVEN A CHOICE A BIDDER WOULD PREFER TO BE ABLE TO HEAR A RECORD BEFORE DECIDING TO LAY A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE THAT I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRISPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS THE TINIEST BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD JUST AT THE START OF EACH SIDE, AND A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE SPECKS IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT !!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LIKE THE BLUEPRINT SLEEVE THE DESIGN OF THIS SLEEVE CAN ONLY BEST BE DESCRIBED AS 'WANTING' AND USUALLY MEANS THAT THE SLEEVE IS FOUND WITH ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING FLAWS
- TEARS
- PAPER SCUFFS
- SERIOUS STAINS
- FRAYED EDGES
- RING WEAR
- SPLIT SEAMS
- TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WORN THROUGH
- OPENING EDGE FRAYED AND SPLIT
- CREASES
HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE A SLEEVE THAT IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION, AND HAS CLEARLY BEEN WELL PROTECTED SINCE NEW
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES CREASE LINES OR BENDS. INCREDIBLY THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEAR THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. AMAZINGLY AS WELL NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
BEING A POROUS LIGHTLY TEXTURED AND UNLAMINATED SLEEVE, IT IS COMMONLY FOUND WITH ALL SORTS OF DIRTY MARKS ALL OVER IT. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE SLEEVE THAT HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SLIVER OF EXTREMELY LIGHT HANDLING ON THE EDGES
THE TOP EDGE HAS THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH JUST A SMALL SPECK OF VERY LIGHT RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH ONLY THE CORNER TIPS VERY LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE SPINE IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY THAT MOST ARE RUBBED SO BADLY THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE TYPEFACE. THIS COPY HAS EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE VERY TOP TIP HAS LIGHT WEAR, AND A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF BURRING VISIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT, WITH JUST A SHADE MORE EDGE HANDLING AND A SMALL PATCH OF RECORD SHAPE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN A FLAT, AND UNCREASED CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS JUST SOME LIGHT GLUE AGEING AT THE TOP EDGE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
