THE LABELS
THE BLACK BASE COLOUR ON THE LABELS IS JUST MINT. TOTALLY UNMARKED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES NEAR THE HOLE.
THE VINYL
INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL,
THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,AND IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE PLAY
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 FIRMLY 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
A STUNNING LOUDLY CUT VINYL WHICH PERFORMS TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS INTENDED
THERE IS A LITTLE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHICH WHEN AUDIBLE IS ONLY IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES
THERE IS THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO RANDOM SPOTS, PLUS JUST 2-3 TINY LITTLE RANDOM DUST POP/ TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM CERTAIN YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE THAN THIS SET
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ANOTHER REALLY HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE BLACK SURFACE IS A POWDERY FINISH AND ON MAY COPIES IS SHELF WORN, AND COVERED IN SMALL WHITE CREASE LINES PARTICULARLY NEAR THE SPINE AND OTHER PERIMETER EDGES.
THE JET BLACK SURFACE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THERE IS JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING TO THE EDGES
THE EMBOSSED JAZZ LOGO IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
NE HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO MAJOR BLEMISHES
THERE ARE TWO SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THE CORNER TIP END SHAVE A MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUB ON THEM
THE TOP EDGES ARE PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT FRONTTIP END
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME VERY LIGHT SHEFL RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER AREA
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CLEAN AND NONE OF THE BLACK HAS RUBBED AWAY, AND ONLY THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SPINE SHOWS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE AT THE VERY TIP.
ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER
THE REAR SURFACE HAS NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND ONLY A LIGHT TRACE OF HANDLING TO THE WHITE SURFACE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS THAT MAKE UP A GREAT SHOT OF THE BAND SETTING UP
ONE WAY TO TELL IF YOU HAVE A FIRST PRESS IS TO REMOVE THE INNER SLEEVE WHICH HAS TO BE MADE OF CARD AND FULLY LAMINATED, AS THIS ONE IS. IT IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS
THE ORIGINAL 3 PANEL BICYCLE RACE POSTER IS IN EXCEPTIONAL AS NEW CONDITION AND IS CORRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE RIGHT HAND EDGE OF THE SLEEVE. IT HAS NO LOOSENESS ABOUT IT AT ALL
THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT WITH EASE
AN OUTSTANDING COPY OF A CLASSIC ALBUM
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
