THE SECOND COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT I HAVE MANAGED TO AQUIRE IN THE LAST MONTH, AND ANOTHER ABSOLUTE STUNNER. I APOLOGISE FOR USING VIRTUALLY THE SAME DESCRIPTION, BUT IT IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN THE LAST COPY I SOLD
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO RIDICULOUSLY SMALL SPIDER LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. THERE IS A LIGHT HAIRLINE (NON SOUNDING) AND A COUPLE MORE UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION
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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE
I HEARD A COUPLE OF TINY POPS THROUGHOUT THE PLAY,NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AND THATS ABOUT IT. IT PLAYS TO PERFECTION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB CONDITION MONO SLEEVE. THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THE LAMINATE SHINES LIKE NEW, AND THERE IS NO LIFT OR PEEL TO THE SURFACE AT ALL. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS AND NO LAMINATE LINES OR EVEN LIGHT CREASE LINES EXCEPT FOR SOME MINISCULE ONES THAT CAN ONLY BE SEEN AT A CERTAIN ANGLE. THERE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND ON THE OUTER EDGES. BUT THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY ALMOST INVISIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALY UNWORN AND THE CORNERS ARE SHARP. THIS IS BECAUSE THE LP HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW. THE SPINE IS ALSO FREE FROM ANY WEAR OR LAMINATE PELL, AND THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN OUT OF IT'S SLEEVE.
THE REAR NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS ALSO IN IMMACULATE CONTION. THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND NO RING WEAR AT ALL.
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
