THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS FIRST PRESS SET HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISCS ARE BOTH IN SUPERB CONDITION. BOTH GLEAM LIKE POLISHED MIRRORS HAVING LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL DAY OF PURCHASE SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY LOOK PERFECT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE SOME EMBEDDED DULL SPECKS AND SOME WISPY HAIRLINES PLUS A FEW ULTRA FINE ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES
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 LP SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LPS PLAY THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS DONE ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE ANYWHERE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
LIKE MOST FLOYD ALBUMS THERE ARE NUMEROUS SILENT PASSAGES AND IT'S A REAL PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM WITHOUT ANY SERIOUS DEFECT.
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD LITTLE BACKGROUND STATIC HERE AND THERE PLUS A HANDFUL OF TINY DUST POPS/TICS THROUGHOUT THE PLAY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS
I URGE YOU TO TAKE A FULL LISTEN TO THE LP AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED E.J DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IS FREE FROM ANY PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE
THERE ARE THREE LAMINATE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE ONE OF WHICH RUNS ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND IS SLIGHTLY HEAVIER THAN THE OTHER TWO WHICH ARE MINUSCULE, TWO MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FIVE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE SMALL THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND ONLY THE REAR RIGHT BOTTOM CORNER TIP END SHOWS A MINUSCULE PIN PRICK OF RUB.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT.. NO ROUGHNESS OR FLAKE WHATSOEVER. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE BOTH UNBLEMISHED, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW THAT THE LP HAS ONLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE COVER A FEW TIMES.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT . A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND AGAIN NEAR THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE. THE OPENING EDGE HAS TWO TINY CHIPS TO THE SURFACE HALF WAY DOWN.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE TWO INNER PANELS, WHICH ARE UNLAMINATED AND IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNMARKED CONDITION
THE TWO ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVES ARE IN THE BEST CONDITION POSSIBLE, BARELY A CREASE LINE BETWEEN THEM, AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS, AND VERY VERY WHITE. SOME GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
