THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION . THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE AND UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS SUPERB, UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME MORE VISIBLE LIGHT 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 BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS A FOUR ROTATION BIT OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE SHORTLY AFTER THE START ON SIDE ONE AND SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE
A FEW RANDOM TINY TICS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH, ALTHOUGH SIDE TWO IS FAR SUPERIOR TO SIDE ONE, AND THE SINGLE BORN TOO LATE BEING FAR SUPERIOR TO THE OPENING TRACK IN TERMS OF LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE EXCELLENT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THERE IS A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE, AND SOME LAMINATE FLAKE DOWN THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE ARE A FEW SMALL LAMINATE LINES ALONG THE EDGES, BUT NO TEARS OR SPLITS.
NO MARKS OR STAINS EITHER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS AND THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A PIN PRICK CHIP OF WHITE VISIBLE. THE SPINE EDGE IS IMMACULATE TOP TO BOTTOM
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS NOT TORN OR PICKED AT LIKE MOST. THE LAMINATED SURFACE SHOWS A TINY BROWN MARK JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE, BUT THIS HAS RUBBED AWAY WHEN I CLEANED IT AFTER I TOOK THE PICTURE. SO IT'S FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS
I GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
