THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL STEAMBOAT TRICOLOUR LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE UNFADED OR UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THERE ARE 4-5 TINT SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW WITH AN ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS PERFECT,AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE AND A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINES, PLUS TWO TINY MARKS, ONE AT THE RUN IN TO SIDE TWO, AND THE OTHER IN BETWEEN TRACKS 1-2 SIDE TWO (READ BELOW)
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 WHOLE 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 HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
A TRUE FIRST PRESS PERFORMANCE WITH A STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. NEAR SILENT RUN IN'S AND LINKING GROOVES LEADING TO PERFECT SOUND PLAYED WITHOUT DISTORTION THUS NO GROOVE WEAR.
VINYL THAT WAS AS HEAVY AS THIS WAS OFTEN POORER QUALITY THAN SAY THE VINYL THAT EMI USED FOR THEIR ALBUMS. A CASE IN POINT IS THE EARLY ISLAND PRESSES ON THE PINK EYE LABEL. THIS ONE IS NO DIFFERENT, BUT THIS VINYL IS CLEAN. THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THERE IS THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
SIDE ONE PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION WITH JUST ONE AUDIBLE LIGHT TIC IN THE SECOND TRACK
SIDE TWO HAS A COUPLE OF SMALL MARKS WHICH CAUSE A FEW LIGHT ROTATIONAL TICS RIGHT AT THE START OF SIDE TWO, AND AGAIN AT THE START OF THE SECOND TRACK. OTHER THAN THIS IS PLAYS AS THE FIRST SIDE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR SIDE ONE AND EXCELLENT PLUS FOR SIDE TWO.
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE WITH FLIPBACKS
THIS SLEEVE IS ALSO AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN VERY CREASED CONDITION. FOR SOME REASON MOST ARE COVERED IN LAMINATE CREASES MOSTLY ALONG THE SPINE. THIS ONE WHILST NOT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, DOES COME VERY CLOSE TO PRISTINE!!!
CERTAINLY BETTER THAN THE VAST MAJORITY OUT THERE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE LAMINATE SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. I MEAN IT REALLY GLEAMS!!! THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ON THE MAIN BODY OF THE SLEEVE AND THAT IS VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF
THERE ARE SEVEN REALLY SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, THREE MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND JUST ONE SMALL THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. USUALLY THIS SLEEVE WOULD BE RIDDLED WITH THUMB LINES
THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE GLOSSY BLACK SURFACE RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP AND JUST ONE SPECK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE RIGHT TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL. TWO REALLY SUPERB EXAMPLES.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. IT HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS. AGAIN THE BLACK GLOSSY SURFACE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A SLIGHT SERRATED FEEL TO IT WHEN RUNNING A FINGER UP AND DOWN
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS, AND THE VERY VULNERABLE BLACK NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS IN SUPERB UNRUBBED CONDITION. NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER. THERE IS A FACTORY AFFIXED 'THIS STEREO RECORD' STICKER IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM, AND IS IN WRINKLED CONDITION AT THE TOP AND SIDE. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS BUT DOES HAVE AGEING TO THEM.
THE POSTER IS IN MINT CONDITION. PROBABLY NEVER REALLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. IT HAS SUPER SHARP FOLD LINES AND IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION.
THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT GRADES NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
