THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE HALF AND HALF COLOURS FULLY RUN INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE , WHILST THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 6-7 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS MINT ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, ALONG WITH SOME SURFACE SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES AND MARKS
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, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID
THIS RARE MONO RECORDING PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF DISTORTION. THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR MEANING THAT WHAT PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND VIRTUALLY NO STATIC ANYWHERE AT ALL
THERE ARE SOME TINY LITTLE TICS AND POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH BUT GENERALLY WELL BEHIND THE MUSIC
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS EXCELLENT PLUS!!!
HOWEVER I URGE YOU TO TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FANTASTIC FRONT LAMINATED REAR FLIPBACKED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS MAGNIFICENT AND GLEAMS LIKE A NEW SLEEVE WITH A LAMINATED SURFACE THAT IS UNCREASED IN ANY WAY. AMAZINGLY THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINE BY THE SPINE AND ONE MORE ON THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER
THERE IS NO RING WEAR EITHER, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM. THIS IS A FABULOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS FRAGILE SLEEVE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% UNWORN, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE IN PERFECT CONDITION.ONLY THE VERY TIP ENDS OF THE BOTTOM CORNERS HAVE THE LIGHTEST SPECK OF RUBBING
THE SPINE IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT IS PERFECTLY FLAT, AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, TAPERED ENDS AND ONLY EVEN TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE PERFECT AS IS THE BLACK TYPEFACE
THE OPENING EDGES IS RAZOR SHARP WITH ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK VISIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND A PURE WHITE UNLAMINATED SURFACE WITH UNRUBBED TYPEFACE
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED WITH JUST SOME LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINES, AND A SHADE OF AGEING TO THE SURFACE
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
