THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS OR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE. THE ALL IMPORTANT FACTORY SAMPLE LABEL IS FIRMLY ADHERED TO SIDE TWO
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT AND ONLY WHEN PLACING IT UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME FINE NUMEROUS SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES THE INNER SURFACE OF THE INNER SLEEVE IS A LITTLE TEXTURED AND IS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO HEAVY MARKS OR SCRATCHES
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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH IMPECCABLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW ACOUSTICALLY SUPERB THIS LP SOUNDS
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND COULDN'T BE ANY CLEARER. EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
THE VERY FINE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES ARE ONLY AUDIBLE AS VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND VERY OCCASIONALLY IN A QUIET PASSAGE
SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB VINYL AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
I BELIEVE IT GRADES EXCELLENT ++++++
THE SLEEVE
THIS UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE HAS ON VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THREE MAJOR FAULTS
- SERIOUSLY CREASED
- SEVERE RING WEAR
- SPLITS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER SLEEVE
THIS COPY IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS I HAVE EVER SEEN ONE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THERE IS NO GRUBBINESS OR HANDLING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS OR DINGS.
MINOR FLAWS INCLUDE A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE UNDER THE TOP EDGE. A LIGHT OUT LINE OF PEN PRESSURE WHERE SOMEONE HAS JOTTED DOWN SOME FIGURES USING THE SLEEVE AS A REST. THESE ARE VERY LIGHT AND SHOW JUST UNDER THE WORD TANX WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT THE TWO RIGHT CORNER TIPS ARE LIGHTLY SHELF WORN.
ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE AND THERE IS NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER TO THE DELICATE POWDERY SURFACE
THERE ARE SIX SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A TINT BIT OD RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS. THE TOP EDGE HAS THE SPINE WORDING REPEATED HERE AND IT IS IN PRISTINE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION
THE SPINE LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT IS STRAIGHT WITH SOME VERY MILD FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THERE IS A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A FEW THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES ON THE EDGES AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER!!!
THE INNER SLEEVE IS NEAR IMMACULATE. THE BLUE COLOUR IS PERFECT ALL OVER AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THE SEAMS ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UNSPLIT, THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE IS ALSO IMMACULATE AND UNDAMAGED
THE ALL IMPORTANT POSTER IS STILL IN UNUSED CONDITION. IT IS CLEAR BY EXAMINING THE FOLD LINES THAT THIS RARE ITEM HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE LET ALONE PINNED TO A WALL. THE POSTER IS A GENUINE FIRST ISSUE THAT WAS PRINTED ON HEAVY MATT PAPER. IT HAS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER BLN5002 IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.VERY MILD HANDLING TO THE REAR SURFACE AT THE EDGES
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
