I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO HANDLED BOTH VINYL AND SLEEVE METICULOUSLY. INCREDIBLE ALBUMS THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEKS. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT VINTAGE VINYL IN THE SORT OF CONDITION THAT YOU COULD ONLY DREAM ABOUT..LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID, AS I HAVE RECORDED EVERY SINGLE SECOND
MY LONG STANDING SERIOUS COLLECTOR CUSTOMERS WILL APPRECIATE THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A NEAR PRISTINE ALBUM. NEW CUSTOMERS AS WELL IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTO COLLECTING THEN THIS MUST NOT BE PASSED UP
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST A FEW FINE SPIDER LINES NEAR THE HOLE
THE RECORD
THIS ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND GLEAMS SUPERBLY. THERE ARE SOME VERY FINE AND WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, AND ONE HANDLING LINE . AS YOU WILL HEAR THOUGH THE REPRODUCTION IS STILL SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
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 AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT THE RECORDED SOUND OF THIS ALBUM IS MOSTLY VERY QUIET WITH THE SITAR BEING THE MAIN INSTRUMENT. THEREFORE ANY UNWANTED BACKGROUND NOISE WILL BE EVEN MORE PROMINENT ON THIS ALBUM THAN MOST
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN STEREO REPRODUCTION.
EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED. CRISP , CLEAN, AND LOUD
THERE IS NO HEAVY CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD TINY STATIC LIKE SPECK IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN THREE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS ALBUM FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
E.J.DAY AND CO SLEEVE IS SUPERB CONDITION
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES
THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE COVER.
AND NO RINGWEAR EITHER FROM. THERE IS JUST THE BAREST TOUCH OF RECORD SHAPE WHICH ONLY CAN BE SEEN WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT.
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINE BY THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FULLY LAMINATED AND UNBLEMISHED WITH A SMOOTH FEEL TO THEM RIGHT ACROSS THE SURFACE. THREE OF THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED WITH THE TOP LEFT ONE HAVING A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE LAMINATE RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE .THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED LIGHT AGEING TO THE WHITE SURFACE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
