THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN ON THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SEE SOME VERY WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES
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 RECENTLY TAKEN THE DECISION TO RECORD ALL OF THE LP'S THAT I LIST FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THERE ARE THINKING ABOUT BIDDING ON
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS A CRISP CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION. THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE NOTES OR VOCALS.
THERE IS SOME LIGHT VINYL BACKGROUND NOISE THROUGH THE PLAY WHICH AT FIRST WORRIED ME GREATLY, BUT I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I MOVED AWAY FROM MY PC TO A NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE THE BACKGROUND COULD BARELY BE HEARD.AS I SIT NO MORE THAN 12-18 FROM MY SPEAKERS AS I TYPE THIS OUT, IT WAS FAR MORE NOTICABLE, SO MY ADVICE IS TO PLAYS THE SOUNDBITES AND MOVE YOUR CHAIR TO 6-8 FEET AWAY.
SIDE 2 IS FAR LESS NOTICABLE
OTHER THAN THIS THERE ARE 3 ROTATIONAL POPS ON SIDE ONE AS TRACK 4 ENDS
BUT I'LL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE. THIS SLEEVE IS THE BEST YOU WILL FIND ANYWHERE. IT IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
RARE E.J DAY 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE (GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE IS THE COMMON ONE)
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE.NOR ARE THERE ANY SMALL CREASE LINES, OR EVEN THUMB NAIL LINES EITHER. EVEN THE SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE NUMBER JUST ONE MINISCULE ONE. THERE IS NO BETTER EXAMPLE OUT THERE
NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE. A PERFECTLY GLOSS WHITE AND BLACK SURFACE WITH NO YELLOWING WHATSOEVER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT.
THE SPINE HAS THE FIRST PRESS TAPERED ENDS, AND IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS AND THEY ARE ALSO PERFECTLY CLEAN.
THE VILNERABLE UNLAMINATED POWDERY BLACK SURFACE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITIION. OFTEN FOUND RUBBED THROUGH TO THE WHITE SURFACE, THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND IS IMMACULATE. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RECORD SHAPE AHYWHERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
