THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK MAD HATTER LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PINK BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN GLEAMING CONDITION, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TO BE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES
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 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 THAT I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
SO VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND WHICH I OCCASIONALLY AUDIBLE IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THERE ARE 3-4 TINY DUST POPS ON SIDE TWO
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS REPRODUCTION NEAR MINT!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
INCREDIBLE TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE PRINTED BY ROBOR
AN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNMARKED. THE LIGHT PASTEL YELLOW COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE AND HAS THEREFORE BEEN PERFECTLY PRESERVED UNLIKE MOST COPIES OF THIS THAT YOU WILL COME ACROSS.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES , IN AMAZINGLY THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE WITH THE DELICATE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH ONLY THE RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVING A SPECK OF RUB
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS STUNNING AS THE FRONT, NO LINES NEAR ANY OF THE EDGES, AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE UNRUBBED PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE PICTURE CARD INNER IN ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL OWNER PLACED THE LP INTO A POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE FROM NEW
A REALLY INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
