THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN NICE 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 HOWEVER A FAIR FEW SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE, WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT HAS HAD A AROUND 15 PLAYS. I BELIEVE THOUGH BECAUSE OF THUE SUPERB SOUND THAT THIS LP GENERATES THAT THE RECORD WAS PLAYED ON A HIGH END UNIT, HENCE THE SUPERB UNBLEMISHED REPRODUCTION, BUT HANDLED BY SOMEONE WHO WASN'T PARTICULAR ABOUT PLACEMENT OF THE LP ONTO THE SPINDLE HOLE
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. A GREAT LOOKING ALBUM
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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS THAT ON OFFER. THE REPORDUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN MONO REPRODUCTION. THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF STATIC FOR A SECOND OR TWO, AND JUST ONE OR TWO RANDOM DUST POPS BUT THATS ABOUT ALL I HEARD
AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES, AND NO BENDS ETC.THERE ARE JUST THREE MINISCULE LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND ONE TINY THUMB NAIL LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE. ALSO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS RUBBED.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN AND FULLY LAMINATED, AS IS THE SPINE WHICH ALSO HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGE TP SHOW THAT THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED.
THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD HAS THE PEPPER CREAK WHEN OPENED, AND BOTH PANELS ARE IN TOP UNMARKED CONDITION.
THE RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT. FLAT, CLEAN, NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO WEAR TO THE OPENING EDGE.
THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
