IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ALBUM YOU WILL KNOW ONE THING, THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A COPY OF THIS WITH A SLEEVE THAT IS PURE WHITE!!!
BUT LOOK NO FURTHER BECAUSE HERE IS A COPY THAT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND HAS NO GRUBBINESS TO ANY PART OF THE DELICATE UNLAMINATED TEXTURED SURFACE. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PASTEL BLUE BASE COLOUR IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND NO MARKS OR STAINS TO BE SEEN, AND IT STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS ONE RIDICULOUSLY SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS ALBUM HAS HAD JUST THE ONE CAREFUL PLAY FROM NEW.
FINALLY ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND LIKE THE BASE COLOUR REMAINS UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS, AND IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE.IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , POSSIBLY 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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE 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 VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE EITHER
THERE IS SOME VERY VERY LIGHT OCCASIONAL STATIC HEARD ONLY BECAUSE I SIT NO MORE THAN 18 INCHES FROM MY SPEAKERS AS I TYPE THIS OUT. MOVING TO NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE ELIMINATES THIS
THERE ARE ALSO RANDOM MINUSCULE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL MAGNIFICENTLY WHITE. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
ONLY TWO MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE BLACK GRAPHICS REMAIN TOTALLY UNRUBBED
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND AGAIN IT'S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN SAT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER COVER FROM NEW. THE TOP EDGE ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING ALONG THE EDGE WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND THERE HAS BEEN NO COLOUR LOSS AT ALL
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH NO EVIDENCE THAT THE LP HAS EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, OTHER THAN ONE TINY LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICK ON THE REAR EDGE
FINALLY THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SPECIAL AS THE FRONT.AGAIN NO GRUBBINESS, AND IT'S ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THERE IS NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SLEEVE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS PLACED A SMALL YELLOW PAPER DOT ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE ORIGINAL EMI INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOP CONDITION. VERY WHITE, VERY FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSPLIT
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
