THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE SWIRL LABEL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION.. THE WHITE SIDE JUST COULD NOT BE WHITER. IT IS TOTALLY CLEAN AND IN MINT CONDITION. THE WHITE STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS AGAIN 100% PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS CLASSIC ALBUM HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT. IT HAS RETAINED ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS WISPY HAIRLINES, ALL SUPERFICIAL NONE FEELABLE, PLUS A FEW SIMILAR HANDLING LINES. LOOKING AT IT IN THIS TYPE OF SPOTLIGHT IT DOESN'T LOOK AS THOUGH IT SHOULD PLAY AS GOOD AS IT DOES, BUT AS YOU WILL HEAR LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING
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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. WITH A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION AND PRODUCTION
EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY. THERE IS NO FRYING BACON OR SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLING AT ALL ANYWHERE!!
NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS ETC.
IMPORTANTLY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS THE OCCASIONAL TINY SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN JUST ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
ALSO JUST A FEW RANDOM AND AGAIN BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH EXCELLENT PLUS AT THE VERY WORST
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
A VERY HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THIS ONE WHILST NOT PERFECT IS CERTAINLY IN A CONDITION THAT MOST COLLECTORS WILL FIND PLEASING. NO TEARS OR RIPS JUST NORMAL LIGHT WEAR...SEE BELOW
SO TAKING THE FRONT PICTURE FIRST.THERE ARE NO CREASE LINES AT ALL ON THE SURFACE, AND NO BENDS OR FOLDS, AND THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT. THERE ARE NO LINES NEAR ANY OF THE EDGES, AND THE TOP LOADING EDGE ONLY HAS VERY MILD TINY PATCHES OF BURRING.
THE FRONT OF THE FLAPS THAT ENCLOSE THE MAIN PICTURE ARE THE BITS THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE. THE LEFT ONE IS PERFECT. NO WEAR OR TEARS TO ANY OF THE CONTOURED EDGES WHATSOEVER. THE RIGHT SIDE DOES HAVE A LITTLE BURRING TO A COUPLE OF THE ROUNDED EDGES, PLUS THERE ARE THREE SMALL TEARS AT THE LOWER END AND ONE TINY ONE IN THE UPPER SECTION
BOTH BLACK SPINAL EDGES SHOW RUBBING TO THE SURFACES
THE BOTTOM EDGE WHICH IS ALSO THE JOIN OF THE FLAPS IS ALSO RUBBED
THE REAR OF THE FLAPS ARE IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION WITH JUST ONE TINY NICK TO THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE RIGHT ONE
THE REAR SURFACE IS JET BLACK WITH WHITE TYPEFACE WHICH IS ALL IN TOP ORDER. THERE IS A LIGHT CREASE LINE JUST UNDER THE TOP OPENING EDGE, AND A FEW TINY LINES AGAINST THE TWO SPINES
THE ORIGINAL SWIRLY INNER SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS, STILL FAIRLY WHITE AND UNCREASED, WITH JUST A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING TO THE SURFACE
THE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
