THE LABELS
THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT ALTHOUGH WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGH SHOWS NUMEROUS TINY LITTLE DULL FOXING MOTTLES (NOT VISIBLE FACE ON) AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE, PLUS A SHARD OF RESIDUAL VINYL STILL ATTACHED TO SIDE ONE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO MOR THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DISC
SIDE ONE HAS A VISIBLE BLEMISH IN THE SHAPE OF FOUR DULL SURFACE LINES. THESE MAKE THE DISC LOOK FLAWED, BUT IN FACT THEY ARE TOTALLY NON SOUNDING. I TRIED TO CAPTURE THEM WITH MY CAMERA BUT COULDN'T DUE TO LIGHTING. SO THEY DON'T LOOK GREAT BUT I PROMISE THAT THEY HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
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 LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
I DECIDED TO TAKE ONE CAREFUL AND UNDETECTABLE PLAYTHROUGH, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW UNPLAYED RARELY MEANS MINT!!!
TAKE A LISTEN TO ' CHILD IN TIME ' WHICH IS THE QUIETEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM. IT IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. NOT A SPECK IF CRACKLE ANYWHERE
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES , AND NO MORE THAN 1-2 OF THE TINIEST STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT FOR THE AUDIO EX+ VISUALLY
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOUR SELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
THE LAMINATE STILL HAS A DEEP SHEENR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS ETC.
THERE IS A SMALL RIDGE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE , THIS IS WHERE THE FLIPBACK ON THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT PANEL HAS STARTED TO SHOW DUE TO PRESSURE FROM HOUSING IN A COLLECTION
THERE ARE SIX SMALL LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE, ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE THIN LAMINATED TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE PLAIN CARD INNER WAS SLIGHTLY MISSALIGNED AND AS A RESULT PROTUDED EVER SO SLIGHTLY OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE AND HAS SUFFERED A LITTLE SCUFFING AT THE RIGHT CORNER ON THE BOTTOM
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE LAMINATE HAS A VERY LIGHT PATCHY ROUGHNESS AT THE VERY TOP
BOTH OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND ONLY HAVE THE TINIEST SPECK OF BURRING AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS HIGHLY POLISHED AS THE FRONT, ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND A FEW EDGE PRESSURE LINES.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN UNRUBBED INNER SURFACE. NO LOSS OF THE FRAGILE BLACK COLOUR AT ALL. JUST A LITTLE FOXING TO THE WHITE AREA ALONG THE INNER SPINE
THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SURFACES, AND NO CREASES. A SUPERIOR EXAMPLE
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
