THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM 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 AS 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 VINYL SOUNDS
THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, JUST SOME VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE MINT MINUS!!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED ,ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE
THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE REASON BEING THAT THE DUSTY AND DELICATE BLUE SURFACE IS USUALLY FOUND WORN AWAY AND RING WORN. AND WHILST THIS ONE IS NOT TOTALLY PERFECT IT IS CERTAINLY BETTER THAN MOST COPIES I HAVE SEEN
INCREDIBLY THERE IS NOT ONE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. AGAIN UNHEARD OF. NONE NEITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES. NO THUMB LINES ALONG OR NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS A TINY CHIP JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE RIGHT CORNER.OTHER THAN THIS THE PALE BLUE SURFACE IS PERFECT WITH JUST ONE WHITE SPECK SHOWING ON THE RIGHT TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER AREA AND A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE REST OF THE SURFACE
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NOT EVEN A FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. AGAIN THE BLUE SURFACE IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE PIN PRICKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND EVEN FREE FROM ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT. MOSTLY BLUE WITH A LITTLE GREYING UNDER THE TOP EDGE, AND A FEW WHITE SPECKS SHOWING ELSEWHERE ON THE SURFACER.
THE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS.
INSIDE THE SLEEVE THE ORIGINAL OWNER PLACED A NEWSPAPER CUTTING DETAILING THE RELEASE OF THIS ALBUM. PROBABLY FROM THE RECORD MIRROR OR NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
