THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE COLOURED LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND IT, SHOWING HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINE VISIBLE. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW WHAT LOOK LIKE ULTRA THIN LINES THAT SIT IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND STRETCH WITH THE GROOVE. THEY ARE TOTALLY NON SOUND ING AND MUST HAVE BEEN FROM THE FACTORY
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
ISLAND/CHRYSALIS VINYL USUALLY HAS A LITTLE VINYL NOISE EMBEDDED IN THE PRESSING AND THIS ONE HAS JUST THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD OCCASIONALLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN 2-3 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS !!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THE DEEP COLOURS ARE ALL UNRUBBED
INCREDIBLY THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEAR THE FOOT OF THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE BLACK BASE COLOUR IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, IN FACT IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE ONE SMALL LINE NEAR THE SPINE AS THE FRONT DOES.
THE CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO MARKS OR STAINS. LATER PRESSES HAD A PAPER LYRIC INNER
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
