IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
- CATALOGUE:HARVEST SHVL 788

- MOTHERS/STAMPERS:1 A / 1 L
- VERY EARLY PRESS
SO VERY MANY QUIET PASSAGES IN THIS ALBUM, AND THEREFORE VERY VERY HARD TO FIND A COPY THAT IS FREE FROM BACKGROUND NOISES. THIS ONE IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT AND ANY COLLECTION WOULD BE ENHANCED BY HAVING IT
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE PLUS MY VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES THAT ARE OTHERWISE INVISIBLE
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 BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. WITH BJH'S MUSIC YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT ANY BACKGROUND WILL BE HEARD THROUGH THE MANY MANY QUIET PASSAGES. THERE IS NONE WHATSOEVER. THE LP PLAYS TO PERFECTION THOUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS, A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POPS, PERHAPS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC BUT THATS ALL.
A SENSATIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL LOOKING AND SOUNDING FIRST PRESS VINYL
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT MIRROR FINISH TO THIS LAMINATED GATEFOLD FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE.
THE FRONT SURFACE JUST SPARKLES. IT HAS AVERY HIGHLY POLISHED FINISH TO THE SURFACE.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE. JUST SIX REALLY SMALL LAMINATE LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANT SHELF WEAR AND THE SPINE IS TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY IN PLACE. NO PEEL OR FLAKE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AT THE VERY TOP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EVERYWAY AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AVERY VERY WHITE NON LAMINATED SURFACE, FREE FROM ANY MARKS ETC. JUST AN ABSOLUTE TINY TRACE OF BROWNING TO THE VERY TOP EDGE
THE HARVEST ADVERTISING POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. VERY LIGHT CREAAGING, BUT NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
