THE LABELS
THE SWAN SONG LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND REMAIN UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE TOTALLY UNWORN. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE DISC HAS RETAINED ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT THE LP IS FLAWLESS, NOT A MARK ON IT, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES . A TRULY SUPERB VINYL
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, THIS IS BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE 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 MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
A STUNNING SOUND THAT IS PERFECT WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION AND CERTAINLY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS
THERE ARE MANY MANY QUIET PASSAGES IN THIS ALBUM AND NONE OF THEM ARE NOISY NOT EVEN STATIC DURING THE LINKING GROOVES
NO DUST POPS ANYWHERE AND I ONLY HEARD A FEW TINY STATIC TICS IN THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE TWO
OUTSTANDING COPY, AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LONG LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. IT IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES. THE WHITE SURFACE IS NEAR PERFECT WITH JUST A TINY LIGHT BROWN LINE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. MOST OF THESE WILL HAVE AGED POORLY OVER THE YEARS BUT THIS ONE HAS BEEN KEPT IN SUPERB CONDITION AND THE WHITE SURFACE IS VERY VERY WHITE
THE 4 CORNERS ARE SHARP TIPPED AND PERFECTLY SQUARE. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, DENTS, OR EVEN ANY OF THE SMALL LINES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE UNMARKED AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION, WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS
THE SPINE IS ALSO MINT. TOTALLY FLAT AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADE OF NATURAL AGEING TO THE WHITE SURFACE, BUT OTHER THAN THIS THE PANELS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPER CONDITION. MOST OF THESE HAVE SUFFERED SPLITS TO THE SEAMS BUT THIS ONE IS PERFECT. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY HANDLING MARKS BUT THATS ALL
A TRULY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS COLLECTABLE SLEEVE
I HAVE NO HESITATION AT ALL IN GRADING THIS INCREDIBLE SLEEVE, NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
