THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST 3-4 MINISCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE EP HAS JUST BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
REALLY REALLY GLOSSY EP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN STUNNING CONDITION. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT SOME WISPY MARKS AND HAIRLINES
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 ALL 4 TRACKS FROM THE EP SO THAT YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO FULLY JUDGE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THIS SINGLE
THE EP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN MONO REPRODUCTION. JUST PURE FIRST PRESS MONO SOUND. THE EP PLAYS ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY POPS OR CLICKS, OR SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND DEFINITELY NO DISTORTION CAUSED BY GROOVE WEAR. THERE ARE A FEW BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE POPS AND OCCASIONAL VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS COLLECTIBLE EP NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
BEAUTIFUL FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE IN REALLY NICE COLLECTIBLE CONDITION.
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE MINUTE AND NEAR INVISIBLE. A VERY GLOSSY SURFACE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AS IS THE SPINE.
THE OPENING EDGE HAS SOME LIGHT BURRING OF THE TOP EDGE AND ONE TINY NICK, WHERAS THE THUMB NOTCH ON THE REAR SIDE IS PRISTINE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AMAZINGLY IN A PURE WHITE CONDITION WITH PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE REMAINS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED,
THE RIGINAL STORE THAT SOLD THIS IN LONDON HAVE NEATLY PLACED THEIR STICKER IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER WHICH I BELIEVE ADDS AUTHENTICITY
THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS NEATLY PENNED THEIR NAME IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER (AS MOST DID)
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
I WILL BE ON HOLIDAY WHEN THE AUTION ENDS SO I WILL BE HAPPY TO WAIT FOR PAYMENT UNTIL I AM ABLE TO POST IT AROUND OCTOBER 10TH
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
