THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN HARVEST ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL SURFACE HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE FO DULL STEAK LINES WHICH ARE NON SOUNDING

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 ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC OTHER THAN THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STUFF IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES. THERE IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR

THERE ARE NINE TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACE AND A SMALL PATCH OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER, AND A LITTLE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER

THE SPINE HAS A LITTLE SPORADIC RUB TO THE SURFACE, MOSTLY AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM. THE PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN WILL SHOW IT IN MACRO. FAR LESS VISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE OF COURSE

THE OPENING EDGE IS  SHARP, WITH A COUPLE OF THUMB NAIL NICKS TO THE SURFACE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT. 

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM HAVING THE DATE 11/78 PRINTED AT THE FOOT, AND IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO MARKS TO THE SURFACE, JSU A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE EX+

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
