THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
SUPERB PASTEL GREEN AND BLUE LABELS WHICH ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED. THE WHITE BAND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND I CANT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED MOST OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE, HAVING A VERY GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE DULL PATCHES WHICH DON'T AFFECT THE SOUND AT ALL, AND UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ONE ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE (NON SOUNDING) AND SOME WISPY HAIRLINES
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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
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 THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE ANYWHERE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND CAN BE HEARD AND A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS RARE PRESS NEAR MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
OUTSTANDING MINT MINUS SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE BEING WHITE IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, BUT HERE IS ONE THAT HAS SAT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW, AND IS STILL PURE WHITE.
NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS.
NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS PERFECT. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE WHITE PAPER SURFACE IS IMMACULATE AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO RUBBING TO ANY PART INCLUDING THE CORNERS
THE SPINE IS ALSO UNDAMAGED AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO RUBBING TO THE CORNERS.
THE ONLY SLIGHT BLEMISH TO THE SLEEVE IS THAT IS IS VERY SLIGHTLY BOWED, WHICH YOU CAN SEE FROM THE IMAGES OF THE SPINE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ANYWHERE ALONG THE EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME IMMACULATE CONDITION AS THE REST OF THE SLEEVE. NOT A MARK OF STAIN OR CREASE ANYWHERE.
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
