THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS NEATLY PENNED HIS INITIALS ON SIDE ONE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAY LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS SPARKLING VINYL,AND IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE 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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
INCREDIBLE!!! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE REPRODUCTION. SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES THAT PERFORM TO A VERY HIGH GRADE
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE , JUS SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND WELL BEHIND THE MUSIC
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE FIRST SIDE AND A HALF WITH A FEW MORE STATIC TICS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF TRACKS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT ++
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED MACNEILL GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL OWNER PLACED ONE OF THOSE NUMBERRING SYSTEM STICKERS BY THE OPENING EDGE.
THE COLOURS ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS
THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE ( AND A LITTLE AGEING) . ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ONLY HAVE THE MILDEST TRACE OF SHELF WEAR
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND SOME LIGHT SPECKS OF WHITE ON THE LEADING EDGES. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AT THE BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION HAVING REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR 43 YEARS. IT IS VERY WHITE, UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED, WITH JUST SOME VERY LIGHT AGEING
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT ++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
