THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE FAMOUS SAILING SHIP RAK LABEL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. NO MARKS OR LINES ANYWHERE, AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO SPOT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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 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
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR TO THE ALBUM
THERE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH THE BRASS SECTION IN PARTICULAR BEING HEARD WITH ULTRA CLARITY
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER, AND I HEARD PERHAPS A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES
NO DUST POPS OR TICS AT ALL
THE VINYL PERFORMS AT A MINT MINUS!!! GRADE WITH EASE
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL ORANGE COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT. THERE ARE SOME TINY LINES AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES, AND A LITTLE WEAR TO THE CORNER TIP ENDS
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE WHITE IS FULLY INTACT AND RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO RUBBING TO THE CORNERS AT ALL. THE SPINE WORDING ALSO APPEARS ON THE TOP EDGE AND IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER
THE WAFER THIN SPINE HAS A LITTLE FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHING AND A FEW TINY LINES FROM THE FRONT HAVE CREPT ROUND ONTO THE SURFACE
THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT WITH A LITTLE LIGHT AND BARELY VISIBLE HANDLING TO THE WHITE SURFACE, AND A FEW TINY LINES ALONG THE EDGES
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR WRINKLES. SOME RECORD IMPRESSION AND LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
