THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SUPERB DEEP RED LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND ALL OF THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE.THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE FIRST PRESS STILL RETAINS ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ANY HANDLING MARKS , AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE RECORDING AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THERE ARE A FEW MOMENTS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, HEARD ONLY DURING A FEW THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES IF AT ALL, AND SOME LIGHT AND RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS HERE AND THERE
PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN TO THE WHOLE COMPOSITION AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE
THE FRONT SURFACE AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE PICTURE IS DISCOLOURED. THIS IS DUE TO THE LAMINATE AT THE VERY BOTTOM HAVING SLIGHTLY LIFTED AND AS A RESULT THE SURFACE HAS BEEN LIGHTLY AFFECTED MOSTLY IN THE RIGHT CORNER
THERE ARE A FEW LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. AND SOME MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THREE THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH THREE TINY CHIPS NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER. THE BOTTOM EDGE DOES HAVE THE LAMINATE LIFTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH A COUPLE OF FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS ARE ALL STILL THERE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING SHOWING AT THE BOTTOM TIP,
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH A SLIGHTLY ROUGH FEEL TO THE EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND A VERY WHITE SURFACE THAT HAS NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE. THE SURFACE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS, JUST SOME VERY LIGHT HANDLING TO THE OUTER EDGES
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION,
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE VERY GOOD PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
