THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE MERCURY LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP BLUE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS VINYL IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY LINES VISIBLE
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO STATIC, EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN THREE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES ONLY, PLUS THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN SMALL TICS AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF TRACK THREE SIDE TWO WHICH LOWERS THE GRADING (FIFTH SOUNDBITE)
THIS ONCE PLAYED ALBUM GRADES NEAR MINT!!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM ROBERT STACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.
THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEE RETAINED AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING. THERE IS THE BAREST TRACE OF VERY LIGHT AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES WHERE THERE IS A TINY AMOUNT OF LIGHT BROWNING
THERE ARE TWO SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEAR PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS PRESENT AND UNRUBBED. ONLY THE VERY TIP ENDS IN THE CORNERS HAVE A SPECK OF LIGHT RUB.
THE SPINE IS STILL VERY FLAT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND THE WHITE SURFACE ALTHOUGH VERY LIGHTLY AGED HAS NO LOSS OF THE TOP SURFACE AND ONLY A SPECK OF RUB IS APPARENT ON THE TWO TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS NEAR PERFECT, JUST A COUPLE OF MICROSCOPIC LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES JUST SOME GLUE AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
