THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE 2 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRITINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE IS JUST ONE MINISCULE AND I DO MEAN MINISCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATION THAT THE LP HAS HAD ONE VERY CAREFUL PLAY
THE VINYL
IMMACULATE AS NEW GLEAMING DISC. THIS COULD NOT BE ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGNAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THE SURFACE ANYWHERE, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. CLEARLY AN LP THAT HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL OPF ITS LIFE
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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS THAT ON OFFER. THE REPORDUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER, ALL THAT YOU HEAR IS THE FANTASTIC REPRODUCTION. I DID HEAR A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY DUST POPS BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND 2 ON SIDE ONE BUT THAT IS IT, NOTHING ELSE JUST PURE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION
AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN COMPLETELY SUPERB CONDITION. THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. THE FRONT SURFACE IS BEAUTIFUL. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON IT. NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES OR BENDS , AND AMAZINGLY ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE SMALL LINES THAT FORM NEAR THE SPINE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL, AND THE SPINE IS THE FIRST PRESS TAPERED ENDED SPINE WHICH IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE ONCE AGAIN IS ' AS NEW' RAZOR SHARP, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS MOSTLY WHITE BUT DOES HAVE A VERY LIGHT TINGE OF YELLOWING THROUGH AGE, ALONG THE PERIMETER EDGES. THIS SLEEVE WAS MADE OF VERY STIFF CARD, BUT SLIGHTLY MORE POROUS THAN MOST AND I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN A PURE WHITE REAR SURFACE ON ANY COPY OF THIS THAT I HAVE HANDLED, AS THIS WHITE SURFACE IS PRONE TO THIS YELLOWING, HOWEVER THIS ONE IF FAR SUPERIOR THAN MOST I HAVE SEEN.
THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE ONCE AGAIN SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED, AS IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND APART FROM ONE SMALL CREASE ACCROSS A CORNER IS PERFECTLY FLAT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
