THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION , RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY UNRUBBED AND LEGIBLE, AND FINALLY THERE ARE NO MORE THAN TWO SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AGAIN SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, BUT THATS 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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS 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 VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY IT HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUBLIME AND POWERFUL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
NO VINYL NOISE AT ALL, JUST THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN THREE TINY DUST POPS THOUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB LAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND IS FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND ONE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE. NO THUMB LINES.
THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS THE TINIEST LITTLE DING TO IT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END WHICH IS LIGHTLY RUBBED.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE,AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE RED TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, AGAIN NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, JUST THOSE TWO TINY ONES NEAR THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE UNLAMINATED PANELS SHOWING IMAGES FROM THE FILM
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDES AND HAS THE CORRECT 474 (APRIL 1974) PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
