THE LABELS
THE PINK LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE i IS STILL PERFECTLY WHITE.
THERE ARE JUST 10-12 SMALL CLUSTERED SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 48 YEARS.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUPERB CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY SOME TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE. NOTHING THAT MARS THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO JUDGE THE CONDITION OF THE SOUND FOR YOURSELF. I BELIEVE IT IS FAR BETTER TO ALLOW A POTENTIAL BIDDER TO HEAR THE THE RECORD BEFORE THEY LAY A BID, RATHER THAN JUST USE DESCRIPTIVE WORDS. EVERYONES IDEA OF CONDITION DIFFERS BUT NOTHING CAN BE MISTAKEN IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD. SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS.
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, WHICH MEANS THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY IT HAS PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED WAS CONDUCTED ON A GOOD SYSTEM THAT DIDN'T HAVE A WORN OR HEAVY STYLUS
ALSO YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OF LOUD CLICK OR POPS
FOR THOSE THAT KNOW ISLAND PRESSINGS YOU WILL KNOW IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND COPIES THAT DO NOT HAVE THAT 'ISLAND VINYL NOISE'. WELL I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THIS HAS NONE WHATSOEVER, MAKING A CLEAN NOISE FREE SILENCE IN THE LINKING GROOVES TROUBLE FREE REPRODUCTION.
THERE ARE MANY NEAR SILENT PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND TRACK TWO, SIDE TWO IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS AND REALLY SHOWS OF JUST HOW NOISE FREE THIS VINYL IS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE SEMI SECONDS OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, AND IN ADDITION NO MORE THAN 1-2 OF THE TINIEST AND AGAIN BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE RECORDING
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION ON THIS OUTSTANDING VINYL AS MINT MINUS
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED E.J DAY AND CO SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CREASE FREE. NO FOLDS OR BENDS AND NO RING WEAR, JUST THE BAREST OUTLINE OF RECORD SHAPE UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THERE IS A LIGHT SLIVER OF RUB JUST ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP END HAS A TINY LITTLE DING
THERE ARE FIVE SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS COLOUR ALL THE WAY ALONG WITH ONLY THE CORNER TIPS LIGHTLY RUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE DOES HAVE SOME SHELF RUB TO THE SURFACE MAINLY ON THE RIGHT HALF.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE ARE 4-5 TINY WHITE LINES ACROSS THE SURFACE AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE RUBBED A LITTLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH JUST A LITTLE BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND RUB FREE AS THE FRONT
THE BLUE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES. SOME GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX+++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
