THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TAN LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNBLEMISHED, WHILST THE BLACK LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED .THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN, AND A CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS ZERO SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THE DISC SHOWS NO SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A PERFECT DISC
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES BECAUSE THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS QUITE BRILLIANT, AND THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM.
I AM REALLY DELIGHTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VINYL AS I WAS EXPECTING A LITTLE OF THE DECCA VINYL NOISE THAT IS INHERENT IN MANY DISCS OF THIS AGE, BUT NO EMBEDDED VINYL APART FROM THE ODD BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS.
THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS EITHER
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SOUND QUALITY MINT!!!!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!!!!
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE UK SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THE LAMINATE STILL SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE JUST TWO REALLY SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND FOUR SHARP AND SQUARE CORNERS
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE PERFECT LAMINATE WHICH RUNS UNBROKEN FROM CORNER TO CORNER , AND NO RUBBING EVEN TO ANY OF THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS STILL FLAT WITH JUST ONE TINY DENT ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE. THE LAMINATE IS ALL PERFECT, AND THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND ALL LEGIBLE. THE TOP TIP IS PERFECT. THE BOTTOM TIP HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND IS FREE OF ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS, ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE IN FACT.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AGAIN GLEAMING LAMINATE, AND JUST THREE SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS ABSOLUTELY MINT!!!
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT . NO CREASES WHATSOEVER. THERE IS SOME AGEING PATCHES ON THE SURFACE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
