THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW STAX LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN UNDER VERY CLOSE SCRUTINY THERE IS ONLY ONE TINY SPIDER LINE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE LP HAS BEEN VERY VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED AND BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
IT'S CLEAR THAT THE RECORD HAVE HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, AND THAT MEANS THAT THIS SUPERB 1973 DOUBLE LP SET WILL BE A VERY HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE READ ON....
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW . BOTH DISCS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THEY ARE LIKE POLISHED MIRRORS, AND TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PUT UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN. AND ONE ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINE, ALL OF WHICH ARE NON-SOUNDING. A VERY WELL CARED FOR VINYL SET
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 DOUBLE ALBUM SET FROM START TO FINISH. I HAVE TAKEN THIS EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT IN A BID TO STEP UP WHAT GOOD LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE ON EBAY. IT HAS LONG BEEN SAID AND FAIRLY SO THAT BUYING VINYL ON EBAY IS A LOTTERY AS SELLERS CONTINUE TO MISDESCRIBE THE QUALITY OF THEIR ALBUMS OFTEN LISTED WITHOUT BEING ACTUALLY ABLE TO PLAY THEM. I THINK BUYERS ARE FED UP WITH BIDDING ON MINT ALBUMS TO FIND THEM ACTUAL A FAR LESS GRADE WHEN PLAYED. HERE THEN IS THE WAY FORWARD I BELIEVE AND I HOPE YOU THINK SO TOO
THE LP'S PLAY THROUGH INCREDIBLY. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS FIRST PRESS ALL THE WAY, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION THO THE SOUND AT ALL, AND NO CRACKLING ANYWHERE ON EITHER DISC.
ATRULY OUTSTANDING PAIR OF VINYLS.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES, AND SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
FIRST ISSUE MACNEILL UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE FRONT SURFACE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RUBBING OR WEAR TO THE COLOURS, WHICH ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND EVEN THE USUAL SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST TWO SMALL ONES NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE COVER. TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THREE SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE BROWN COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND ONLY THE RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVING A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE. THE BOTTOM FRONT EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE SURFACE
THE SPINE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE,THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS TO BOTH TIPS OF THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND SHOW JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SET OF LP'S HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT WITH JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE, AND TWO WHITE LINES NEAR THE SPINE
THE TWO POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH UNSPLIT AND VERY FLAT, THEY DO HAVE GLUE AGEING TO THEM AROUND THE EDGES
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
