THE LABELS

THE GREEN LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PASTEL  GREEN COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED (APART FROM WHAT LOOKS TO BE A FAINT RESIDUE FROM A STICKER ON SIDE ONE). IT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1 NEAR INVISIBLE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED, IN FACT NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE NEW.

THERE IS STILL SOME LOOSE SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE BACKING UP THE BARELY PLAYED STATUS 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. A REALLY PRISTINE VINYL

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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS  RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR EARLY LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS.

ON THIS VINYL THERE IS JUST THE ODD SPECK OF STATIC HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE QUIETEST SPOTS ONLY

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

I CANT SAY THAT I HEARD MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO  GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS!!!!

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED  SLEEVE FROM GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES NOR ARE THERE ANY CREASE LINES EITHER, AND EVEN THE TINY LINES THAT USUALLY FORM NEAR THE SPINE ARE JUST FOUR NEAR INVISIBLE ONES

THE COLOURS REMAIN PERFECT AND UNRUBBED . NO LINES NEAR EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% UNRUBBED, AND CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. THERE IS JUST THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

THE SPINE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT AND IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND INCREDIBLY NO WEAR TO THE COLOURS APART , AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE TINY LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS LIGHTLY TEXTURED AND IN PRISTINE UNSPLIT CONDITION. STILL PERFECTLY WHITE AND UNCREASED

THE SLEEVE  GRADES MINT MINUS!!! WITH EASE

AN ABSOLUTE VAULT COPY OF THIS SUPERB ALBUM!!!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
