THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
I WOULD ASK THAT YOU TAKE A LISTEN TO THE VINYL; BEFORE BIDDING AS THIS IS NOT A RECORD THAT I WOULD USUALLY LIST. I WOULD NORMALLY ONLY GO AS LOW AS EX+, BUT HERE WE HAVE A VERY RARE VINYL THAT HAS NOT BEEN HANDLED WITH THE CARE IT NEEDED TO BE AT LEAST THAT GRADE. MY GUESS IS THAT IT HAD BEEN LEFT OUTSIDE THE SLEEVE AT SOME POINT AND HAS RUBBED AGAINST OTHER VINYLS.SO THE VINYL STILL GLEAMS NICELY AND HAS NOT DULLED DESPITE THE LACK OF CARE SHOW. THE SURFACE HAS NUMEROUS VERY FINE SURFACE LINES. I HASTEN TO ADD IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT HAS BEEN CLEANED WITH WIRE SO IS NOT COMPLETELY COVERED IN LINES, JUST NUMEROUS FINE LINES ON THE SURFACE. THERE ARE ALSO SOME FINE HANDLING LINES AND ONE LONG DULL STREAK ON SIDE ONE, AND A COUPLE OF SCUFFS ON SIDE TWO
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 AS I ALWAYS DO BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE CONSIDERING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
SO PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND DECIDE IF YOU WANT IT
WHAT YOU WILL NOT HEAR IS ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. SO THE PLAY THAT IT HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
YOU WILL ALSO NOT HEAR ANY FRYING BACON, SO NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
YOU WILL ALSO NOT HEAR ANY REALLY LOUD CLICKS, NOR ARE THERE ANY JUMPS OR STICKS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS FIRSTLY SOME VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
AND SECONDLY THERE ARE NUMEROUS LITTLE POPS AND TICS THROUGHOUT THE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE TO SAY THAT SIDE TWO HAS MORE THAN SIDE ONE
ON THAT BASIS I AM LEAVING IT ENTIRELY UP TO THE LISTENER TO DECIDE THEIR OWN GRADE
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND STILL HAS A REAL DEEP SHINE TO IT.
THERE ARE TEN SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINESEVEN ALONG THE TOP EDGE, SIX ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND FOUR SMALL THUMB LINES ON THE MAIN BODY OF THE SLEEVE. THERE ARE A FEW LONG LIGHT CREASE LINES RUNNING FROM THE EDGES INTO THE SURFACE. TWO FROM THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE FROM THE TOP
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT WITH JUST ONE TINY CHIP ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE CORNER TIPS REMARKABLY ARE FREE FROM WEAR.
THE SPINE IS ALSO LAMINATED AND A LITTLE SQUASHED IN PLACES, BUT THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP, AND ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS NO PEN MARKS OR STAINS JUST SIGNS OF AGEING AND HANDLING
I GUESS SOMEWHERE AROUND THE VG MARK WOULD BE ACCURATE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
