THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THESE BLUE-AND-WHITE CHRYSALIS LABELS ARE AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR SCUFFS AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED THE BLACK TYPE AT TYPEFACE LIKEWISE IS UNRUBBED.
LOOKING CLOSELY AT THE SPINDLE HOLE THIS REVEALS NO MORE THAN 45
OR FIVE VERY VERY TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND EACH HOLE
THE VINYL
BOTH OF THESE DISCS HAVE GOT ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC SHINE TO THEM LOOKING AS GOOD TODAY AS THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED. IN DAYLIGHT THEY LOOK ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN ONLY SEE WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 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
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUND BITES AS THIS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, CRYSTAL CLEAR AND FREE FROM ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHICH MEANS THAT THIS ALBUM WAS PLAYED ON A HI-FI SYSTEM THAT HAD CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
CHRYSALIS VINYL OVER THE YEARS HAS BEEN LAMBASTED AS MANY COPIES HAVE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE. I'M DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THIS PARTICULAR COPY HAS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, AND NOTHING MORE THAN THE VERY ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN ONLY A FEW OF THE VERY SILENT PASSAGES. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THROUGHOUT ALL FOUR SIDES I HEARD NO MORE THAN APPROXIMATELY 4 OR FIVE TINY LITTLE DUST TICS WHATSOEVER.
AND ON THAT BASIS I'M DELIGHTED TO BE UP TO GRADE THIS PLAY THROUGH AS MINT MINUS! IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD, BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A GOOD LISTEN YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS A SEMI-LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS REALLY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED AND IS AS GOOD TODAY AS WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED. IN FACT IN THE RIGHT-HAND CORNER THERE IS STILL THE ORIGINAL WH SMITH'S SHOP STICKER SHOWING THE RETAIL PRICE OF £4.99.
THE SMALL LINES THAT USUALLY GATHER BY THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST TWO REALLY SMALL ONES. NONE VISIBLE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE VERY VERY SMALL ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE THE MOST MINISCULE AMOUNT OF RUBBING.
THE TOP EDGES ARE STILL FULLY COLOURED AND THIS RUNS UNINTERRUPTED FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A TINY PINPRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE VERY RIGHT-HAND CORNER TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGES VERY SIMILAR TO THE TOP WITH JUST A FRACTION MORE RUBBING TO THE RIGHT-HAND TIPS.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UN SQUASHED STILL FULLY COLOURED ALL THE WAY ALONG WITH JUST A LITTLE SLIVER OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE VERY TOP TIP ON THE TOP LEADING-EDGE. THE BLUE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
BOTH OF THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL RAZOR SHARP AND LOOK AS GOOD AS GOOD TODAY AS THEY DID WHEN THEY WERE FIRST PRINTED .
THE REAR SURFACE ONCE AGAIN IS FULLY COLOURED, AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE A FEW WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS LIGHT IMPRESSIONS POSSIBLY CAUSED BY BALLPOINT PEN OR SOMETHING THAT WAS RESTING AGAINST THE SLEEVE.
OPENING UP THE GATEFOLD THIS REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN PANELS, MINT IN FACT.
THE TWO POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH UNSPLIT. THEY DO HAVE SOME LIKE CREASING AND A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING.
I'M HAPPY TO BE UP TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
