THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TRACK LOGO WHICH CAN RUB AND WEAR BADLY IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION ON BOTH SIDES. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS 1 SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE BY INDICATING THE ONE PLAY THAT THIS BRILLIANT EXAMPLE HAS RECEIVED IN THE LAST 37 YEARS
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS THAT ON OFFER. THE REPORDUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
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 THESE DISCS SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE IS THE VERY ODD BIT OF STATIC FOR SECOND OR TWO AND A COUPLE OF RANDOM TINY DUST POPS, BUT I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED , LIGHTLY TEXTURED MACNEILL FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNMARKED APART FROM ONE TINY SCRAPE TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. I HAVE TAKEN A CLOSE UP PICTURE OF THIS.
THE SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND THERE IS NO STAINING OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NOT EVEN ANY LIGHT ONES OR THE REALLY SMALL ONES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT SECURE INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW, WHICH IS THE REASON IT IS SO GOOD.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL.
THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECT. FLAT, CLEAN, UNSCUFFED, UNMARKED, FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS AND HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW THAT THE RECORD WAS REMOVED A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE LAST 37 YEARS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER SURFACE, WITH A PERFECT INNER SPINE.
INSIDE THE SLEEVE SITS THE ONE PAGE INSERT WHICH IS IN MINT CONDITON
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
