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 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED IN THE PAST 46 YEARS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS VERY GLOSSY 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. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF 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 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
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND SECONDLY THE OUTSTANDING LOUD AND POWERFUL MONO SOUND IS A CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO CLICKS
NO EMBEDDEDE VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE FO THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB CONDITION MONO SLEEVE. THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THE LAMINATE STILL REALLY SHINES LIKE NEW
THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION VISIBLE BUT NO RIGN WEAR
THERE ARE JUST FOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. ONE OF WHICH IS NEAR THE TOP, THE OTHER THREE ARE GROUPED TOGETHER RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE. NINE TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, SEVEN ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE OR ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE SURFACE FOR THAT MATTER. THERE IS ONE TINY SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE IN THE RIGHT CORNER. THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP SHOWS A LITTLE RUBBING.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. WITH THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ONLY THE TWO RIGHT CORNER TIPS SHOW LIGHT RUBBING
THE SPINE HAS A VERY LIGHT CURVE AT BOTH ENDS. IT IS UNLAMINATED AND VERY THIN. TOTALLY UNSQUASHED WITH THE TYPEFACE STILL VERY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICK TO SHOW THAT THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN OUT OF IT'S SLEEVE.
THE REAR NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS ALSO FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY PEN MARKS. THERE IS A VERY MILD TOUCH OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES AND THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPEWEAR AT THE EDGES
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
