THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABOUT TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN ONLY MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF VERY VERY FINE 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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS VINYL PLAYS EVERY BIT AS SUPERBLY AS IT LOOKS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS SOUND IN EVERY WAY.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR LOUD CLICKS
CERTAINLY NO VINYL NOISE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED
THERE ARE A FEW SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A SOME OF THE QUIETER SPOTS, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN A FIVE OR SIX TINY AND BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT !!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, AND UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE SHOWING A FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. I CAN'T SAY I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS SLEEVE LOOKING SO GOOD, AS MOST HAVE UNSIGHTLY CREASES ALL OVER THEM.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND THERE ARE JUST THREE SMALL LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, AND A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF LAMINATE LIFT IN THE TOP CORNE. ONE OF WHICH IS MICROSCOPIC, THERE IS ONE LAMINATE LINE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND IT PROTRUDES SOMEWAY ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES ALONG THE OPENING EDGE
THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO TIP
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND PRISTINE, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS OF THE TAPERED ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE INCREDIBLE STATE THAT IT IS, BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER WHICH IS QUITE RARE ON THIS TYPE OF SLEEVE, A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND THATS ALLTHERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE SLEEVE IS JUST SUPERB!!
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION WITH BARELY A CREASE LINE ON IT. THIS AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN HANDLED. IT ALSO HAS THE CORRECT 7-73 (JULY 1973) DATE PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
