THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
CBS ORANGE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. CLEARLY A WELL CARED FOR 36 YEAR OLD ALBUM
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1 SPIDER LINE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID BACK IN 1974. THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BEE SEEN ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF 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 4 THREE MINUTE SECTIONS FROM THIS ALBUM, INCLUDING THE DEAD WAX RUN IN AND EACH OF THE FIRST TRACKS ON EACH SIDE, FOLLOWED BY ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE.
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BRILLIANT, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A LISTEN TO THE 4 SOUNDBITES TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING, NOR ARE THERE ANY CLICKS, PERHAPS THE VERY ODD LITTLE DUST POP, BUT THATS BEING VERY PICKY
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL SHOREPAK NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. AMAZINGLY THE SURFACE HAS NOT SUFFERED ANY RINGWEAR OR COLOUR LOSS AT ALL. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, ANDTHERE AREN'T EVEN ANY SMALL LINES THAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY FIND NEAR THE SPINE.
THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS THE BAREST SPECKS. CLEARLY THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER.
THE SPINE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE AND WHEN IT WAS IT WAS HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO RING WEAR, NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE.
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL ADVERTISING CBS INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT CONDITION.
FINALLY THE RARE LYRIC INSERT IS THERE. IT HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASE LINES, BUT NO TEARS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
