THE LABELS
THE MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.
THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE JUST 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES, CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM HAS HAD JUST LIMITED PLAY IN 48 YEARS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED AND THERE IS NO FOGGING OR ANY MARKS EITHER . EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW VERY VERY WISPY LINES THAT ARE OTHERWISE INVISIBLE ON SIDE ONE, AND A NON SOUNDING SURFACE HANDLING LINES ON SIDE TWO TRACK ONE
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH BECAUSE I AM CERTAIN THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORDS BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THE REPRODUCTION FROM THIS ALBUM IS JUST BRILLIANT. PURE FIRST PRESS AND THE DISC PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. TRYING TO FIND A GREAT COPY OF THIS ALBUM IS VERY HARD AND MOST COPIES ARE TRASHED WITH SLEEVES TO MATCH. HERE WE HAVE WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A NEAR FAULTLESS PERFORMANCE.
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE APART FROM THE GUITAR WORK THAT SHOULD SOUND DISTORTED OF COURSE. THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED OR WORN EITHER.
BEING VERY PICKY HERE. THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS LIGHT STATIC IN SOME OF THE QUIETEST SPOTS ( JUST A FEW EXAMPLES) ON SIDE ONE ONLY, AND SIDE TWO NOTHING AT ALL
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS BEAUTIFUL VINYL MINT MINUS!!! OVERALL (N.MINT SIDE ONE AND MINT SIDE 2)
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED AND LOOKS SUPERB ALL OVER. NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS.
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES HAVE SOME LIGHT SHELF RUB TO THE REAR SURFACE, AND A SMALL SCUFF TO THE FRONT. THE BOTTOM EDGES ALSO HAVE ALIGHT SPORADIC RUB
THE SPINE HAS SOME SCUFFS TO THE SURFACE RESULTING IN SOME UNDERCARD SPOTS ON THE SURFACE, THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE ALSO RUBBED. THE TYPEFACE HOWVERE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AS IT POSSIBLY COULD BE,WITH AND DEPICTS WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE UNPLAYED FOR MANY YEARS.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS NO SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AND THE COLOURS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. AGAIN JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. THERE IS ALSO A TINY NICK ON THE OPENING EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND CLEAN . UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED. THERE IS SOME AGEING TO THE SEAMS. THE CORRECT DATE OF 0271 IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
