THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK RED UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT 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 2-3 BARELY VISIBLE SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES.
IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS SUPERB AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE NUMEROUS WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, ALONG WITH A FEW TINY 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 AM DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AMDELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS STEREO RECORDING IS JUST ASTOUNDING, LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER MEANING THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR,
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, JUST SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE NOISE HEARD WHEN VERY CLOSE TO THE SPEAKERS AS I AM WHEN I TYPE THIS OUT. MOVING TO NORMAL LISTENTING DISTANCE AND THIS MOSTLY VANISHES.
THERE ARE SOME LITTLE TICS AND POPS IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH EXCELLENT PLUS
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE ON THIS DECCA CLARIFOIL SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY CREASED ALL OVER, ON THIS COPY IS REALLY SUPERB. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS RICH DEEP SHINE TO IT.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES WHATSOEVER, AND NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER. THERE ARE FOUR TINY LITTLE LAMINATE LINES DOWN THE SPINE, AND ONE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. THERE ARE NO THUMB LINES TO BE SEEN, BUT THE TOP LEFT CORNER HAS A SLIGHT DING
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR.ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER
THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, IT IS ALMOST FLAT WITH JUST ONE SEMI FINGER TO THUMB SQUASH HALF WAY DOWN
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE SHOWS LIGHT HANDLING TO THE SURFACE WITH THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE SLIGHTLY VISIBLE. THERE IS A WHITE BAND RUNNING DOWN THE LENGTH JUST BY THE SPINE WHICH IS ACTUALLY A FACTORY ERROR AND NOT MAN MADE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS LIGHTLY CREASED , BUT UNSPLITTHE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
