THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. INCREDIBLY THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND THIS SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS MINT CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , POSSIBLY 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, ALLOWING ANY POTENTIAL BUYER TO HEAR EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE RUN IN GROOVE AND THE LINKING GROOVES AS WELL AS THE INCREDIBLE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION. I DO THIS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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
I AM CERTAIN THIS VINYL WAS RECORDED AND PRESSED BY ISLAND,OR WARNER BROTHERS DUE TO THE MATRIX NUMBERS USED IN THE DEAD WAX. ONLY THESE TWO LABELS USED THE STYLE OF MATRIX NUMBER THAT YOU FIND IN THE DEAD WAX ON THIS ALBUM. I HAVE TWO OTHER COPIES AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE STANDARD A//4 v 420 STYLE OF MATRIX NUMBER. IN FACT THE NUMBERS OF MY OTHER COPIES ARE A4/B3, AND A3/B4.
THUS IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT THE ISLAND PRESS WAS THE FIRST ISSUE, AND WITH IT THE FAMILIAR ISLAND EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IS LIKELY TO APPEAR. PROBABLY WHY THE PRESSING WAS CHANGED
SO HEAR WE HAVE AN ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE PRESS
THE VINYL PLAYS WITH A LITTLE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHICH IS AUDIBLE IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND MORESO IF YOU ARE ON TOP OF YOUR SPEAKERS. MOVING TO A NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE IT IS VIRTUALLY UNDETECTABLE. CERTAINLY DURING LOUD PASSAGES IT CANNOT EVEN BE HEARD CLOSE TO THE SPEAKERS. TYPICAL ISLAND!!!
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR EVEN ANY LOUD CLICKS
THE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE SOUNDS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY NOISE
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY TICS JUST BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTED ON SIDE ONE
BY ALL RIGHTS THIS ALBUM, IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS, SHOULD GRACE MINT!!! BUT DUE TO THE LIGHT VINYL NOISE I HAVE TO GRADE THIS AS NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS. AMAZINGLY THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE DELICATE COLOURS EITHER,APART FROM A SMALL SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.
THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LITTLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH ONLY A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS, AND A FEW PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING ELSEWHERE. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A LITTLE MORE WEAR TO THE CORNER TIPS.
THE SPINE IS STILL FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, THE BROWN SURFACE IS ALL IN TOP CONDITION WITH JUST A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT CLEAN AND RUB FREE AS THE FRONT WITH JUST TWO TINY LINES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER PANELS.
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINES, AND A LITTLE AGEING TO THE SEAMS)
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
