THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PURPLE DERAM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, AND FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE BY EACH HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS SUPERB SET HAS JUST HAD THE ONE PLAY FROM NEW.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS QUITE MAGNIFICENT. GLEAMING LIKE A MIRROR, IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING BUT A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN ON EITHER 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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE RECORDS BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS 1974 FIRST PRESS IS THAT IT SIMPLY SUPERB!!!
THE LP'S PLAY BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY LOUD. CRISP AND CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER HAD ONE PLAY FROM NEW PLUS MY VERY CAREFUL AND UNDETECTABLE TEST PLAY
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE JOT OF VINYL NOISE
A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPLIT SECONDS OF STATIC HERE AND NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGHOUT
THIS PLAYTHROUGH GRADES MINT WITH EASE
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB LP AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN.AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, THERE ARE ZERO!! LAMINATE LINES DOWN THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. AGAIN THIS IS PERFECTLY LAMINATED AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS THERE AND UNBLEMISHED WHICH INCLUDES THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT, . THERE IS ALSO JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A MINT PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE SET IS COMPLIMENTED BY THE CORRECT AND ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVES. THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNERS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. FLAT AND UNCREASED, APART FROM ONE OF THEM HAS A BOTTOM CORNER CREASED, AND THEY CLEARLY DEPICT WHY THE VINYL ARE IN THE MAGNIFICENT CONDITION THAT THEY ARE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
