THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE MAD HATTER LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS ONE NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE AROUND IT, SHOWING HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE. A PRISTINE ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE VINYL
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE NOR IS THERE ANY STATIC, EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT !!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL JAMES UPTON BANNED SLEEVE. THE REAR OF THE COVER SHOWS A WRONGLY WIRED UP ELECTRIC PLUG, WITH THE STATEMENT ' H.M HEALTH DEPT WARNING. THIS WIRING CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH'
THIS SLEEVE WAS OVERSTUCK ON LATER ISSUES
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A LIGHT WAVE TO IT AT THE BOTTOM BUT HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO MOISTURE. THE CORNER TIPS HAVE A LIGHT BIT OF RUB TO THE VERY TIPS
THE COLOURS ARE ALL UN-RUBBED, THERE IS ONE LIGHT IMPRESSION LINE JUST ON THE BOTTOM EDGE RUNNING UPWARDS FOR A COUPLE OF INCHES
THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LINES ON TE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH A FEW PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNERS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UN-SQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE BASE COLOUR ONLY HAS A LITTLE SPECK OF RUB AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, JUST SOME LIGHT NATURAL AGEING
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
