THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE VIOLET AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. NO DISCOLOURISATION AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE VIOLET AREA IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM SET HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS SUPERFICIAL 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 WHOLE LP SET FROM START TO FINISH. I HAVE DECIDED THAT THIS EXTRA EFFORT AND TIME IS WORTH IT TO BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE QUALITY OF THE VINYLS I OFFER. A VERY VALID ARGUMENT IS MADE ABOUT BUYING FROM EBAY, WITH SELLERS MISDESCRIBING THE RECORDS THAT THEY OFFER. WELL HERE YOU CAN SEE, READ ABOUT, AND NOW HEAR WHAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON. I HOPE YOU AGREE THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT PROPERLY.
THE LP'S PLAY BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH ALL FOUR SIDES
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION, NO SEVERE BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS SOME OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE DUST POPS/TICS HERE AND THERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL EXCELLENT +++
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ROBERT STACE LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE STILL HAS A DEEP SHEEN TO THE LAMINATE WHICH GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND NO RING WEAR, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES ON THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE JUST HAS A SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP WITH THE REST OF THE SURFACE FULLY LAMINATED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER
THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION.WITH ONE SLIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT WITH JUST THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A SUPERB PAIR OF INNER PANELS WITH JUST A LITTLE FOXING TO THE WHITE SURFACE
THE DECCA POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE FLAT AND UNSPLIT. A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINES.
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT !!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
