THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE EPIC LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
SUPERB DISC THAT HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN TO THE SURFACE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY PRISTINE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST THE USUAL WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES (ALL NON SOUNDING)
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 PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A SPECK OF VERY OCCASIONAL AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AT THE RUN IN GROOVE
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED FRAGILE 1ST PRESS SHOREWOOD SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR BENDS . THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH VIRTUALLY IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED DARK SURFACE INTACT, WITH JUST A TINY WHITE FLECKS ON THE SURFACE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE AND A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH ONE FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION JUST BELOW THE TITLE.
NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, AND THIS EVEN INCLUDED THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS WHICH ARE IMMACULATE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A LITTLE FACTORY IMPERFECTION ROUGHNESS
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, LIKE THE FRONT THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL, AND NO RING WEAR .AGAIN NO LINES AGAINST ANY OF THE EDGES
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION .
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
