THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE IS EVEN SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL AROUND THE HOLE
INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE ON THE A SIDE AND JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC ONES ON SIDE B.
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS A SMALL DULL PATCH TO THE VINYL ON SIDE ONE WHICH COVER A SMALL PORTION OF TRACK ONE ONLY.
THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THIS VINYL, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPS
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. SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRISPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RECORD THERE IS A NEAR SILENT RUN IN, WITH JUST SOME VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE FOR TWO ROTATIONS ONLY AS SOON AS 'LAUNDROMAT' STARTS IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. A LOUD, CRISP UNDISTORTED CLARITY THAT IS PURE FIRST PRESS.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS AT ANY POINT
JUST THE ODD BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK OF VINYL NOISE IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND NO MORE THAN FOUR TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
A SLEEVE THAT SHOWS SOME LIGHT WEAR. IT'S THE E.J DAY ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A SMALL PAPER TEAR JUST BELOW THE LETTERS 'AG' AND A COUPLE OF DENTS JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE EITHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE OF RORY. OTHER THAN THIS THE BLACK COLOUR IS RICH AND DEEP
THERE ARE EIGHT SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND A COUPLE OF TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. AND ONE THUMB LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SLEEVE
SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND THE BAREST SPECK OF STICKER REMOVAL NEAR THE TOP RIGHT CORNER UNDER THE LETTERS 'HER'
NOT ONE JOT OF RINGWEAR WHATSOEVER, AND NO HEAVY CREASES, LIGHT CREASES, BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES DO HAVE SOME VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR
THE SPINE HAS A FEW FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ALONG THE LENGTH, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED, BUT THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH A FEW TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FRAGILE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THE FRONT, AGAIN JUST A FEW TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND A COUPLE MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, ONE CORNER HAS A LIGHT CREASE LINE, BUT IT IS STILL IN A VERY WHITE CONDITION.
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT
AN OUTSTANDING AND RARE COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS ALBUM
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
