BURT BACHARACH - REACH OUT
SUPERB NEAR MINT PLAYTHROUGH!!!
OUTSTANDING MINT MINUS!!! SLEEVE
CATALOGUE:A & M AMLS 908
- MATRIX: AMLS 908 A-1 * F / B-1 * F
- I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO SOMEONE WHO LOOKED AFTER THEM INCREDIBLY WELL, WHERE THEY WERE PLACED INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES FROM NEW, AND ONLY PLAYED ON A BANG & OLUFSEN HI FI
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE KHAKI LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 6-7 SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY HANDLING 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 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 BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO MORE THAN THE VERY ODD SPECK OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISEHEARD IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THERE IS THE BAREST SEMI SECOND OF STATIC HEARD ONLY VERY OCCASIONALLY, AND A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS/TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST THE STANDARDS YOU PERSONALLY SET
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE NEAR MINT !!!! STANDARD.
THE SLEEVE
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT SINGLE SLEEVE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT SLEEVE TO FIND IN A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, BECAUSE THE SURFACE CAN WEAR VERY BADLY AND ON MOST COPIES THE SPINE IS JUST WORN OUT. NOT THIS ONE THOUGH IT IS AS NEW!!!
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE !!!! THE SURFACE IS FREE FROM ANY WEAR OR RUBBING WHATSOEVER AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER. AND JUST ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER. AGAIN THIS IS UNHEARD OF
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING PERFECTLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RUB EVEN TO THE CORNER TIPS. FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS REMAINED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FOR ALL THESE YEARS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED,AND HAS PERFECT TAPERED ENDS, PLUS EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SURFACE AGAIN IS JUST PERFECT WITH EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN PRISTINE LIKE THE FRONT. THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL IN SUPERB CONDITION AND LIKE THE FRONT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN ONE NEXT TO THE EDGES. JUST IMMACULATE!! THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO PERFECTLY ADHERED
THE DIE CUT POLY LINED INNER IS IN FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT. IT HAS HOWEVER BROWNED WITH AGE AROUND ONE OF THE EDGES WHERE IT HAS JUST SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!!!
IF YOU WIN AN LP AUCTION OF MINE THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL GET IN TERMS OF PACKING AND DELIVERY.
I TREAT EVERY ALBUM WITH THE RESPECT IT DESERVES. THE FIRST THING IS THAT I REMOVE THE LP FROM THE SLEEVE AND PLACE IT INTO A BRAND NEW POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE TO PROTECT NOT ONLY THE LP BUT THE SLEEVE AS WELL. THE LP IS PLACED BEHIND THE SLEEVE AND THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE LOCATED BACK INSIDE THE SLEEVE.
THE ALBUM IS PLACED INSIDE A BRAND NEW THICK PVC OUTER SLEEVE. NOT SOME FLIMSY POLY THING, A PROPER COLLECTORS PVC SLEEVE.
I USE THE TOUGHEST CRUCIFORM BOXES TO PLACE THE LP INTO AND INCLUDE ONE VERY HEAVY DUTY STIFFENER INSIDE THE BOX AS WELL. THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL STIFFENERS PLACED ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK SURFACES OR AS MANY AS NEEDED TO ENSURE THE CORNERS CANNOT GET DAMAGED OR THE BOX BENT.
FINALLY THE LP IS SENT EITHER SIGNED FOR, TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR DEPENDING ON WHICH SERVICE IS AVAILABLE FOR EACH COUNTRY.
FINALLY THE TRACKING NUMBER IS UPDATED ON EBAY UPON MY RETURN FROM THE POST OFFICE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
