THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE CBS LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEXT TO IT ON BOTH SIDES . THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT 1ST ISSUE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS VIRTUALLY NOTHING TO SEE, PERHAPS A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES ONLY.
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 IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION IS THE ONLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE STEREO SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL
NO LOUD CLICKS AND NOT ONE JOT OF VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
NO MORE THAN TWO TINY STATIC TICS THOUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
JUST A PERFECT REPRODUCTION IN EVERY WAY
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC MINT !!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SHOREWOOD SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FIRST ISSUE TEXTURED SLEEVE IS IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
THE COLOURS ARE ALL MAGNIFICENT AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE COLOURED SURFACE IS PRONE TO WEAR BUT THIS COPY IS FLAWLESS.
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEAR PERFECT, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR UNRUBBED ALONG THE TOP EDGE , WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE JUST HAS A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING AT THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH A SMALL FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE IN THE MIDDLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST WHY THE LP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION AS THE FRONT. PERFECT SURFACE WITH JUST ONE SMALL LINE ON THE TOP EDGE
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT, AND STILL VERY WHITE WITH A LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINE
THE BLUE INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
