THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER FONTANA LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SILVER LOGO IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE AND THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL HAS RETAINED ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT STILL LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW DULLISH PATCHES WHICH ARE VISIBLE BUT NON SOUNDING. A FEW SMALL SCUFFS AND A COUPLE OF HANDLING LINES, AGAIN ALL SHOW BUT NOTHING TO SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE PLAYTHROUGH AS YOU WILL HEAR
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, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO 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 BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE MONO FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THIS SOUND WHICH IS QUITE INCREDIBLE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE TYPE OF RECORD PLAYER THAT WAS BEING USED IN THE 60'S.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO HEAVY VINYL NOISE WHICH IS AGAIN A LITTLE SURPRISING ON THIS ULTRA HEAVY VINYL
THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND A FEW DUST POPS AND TICS HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES, PLUS A LITTLE SCUFF NOISE JUST BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS ON SIDE ONE
THE DISTORTION FREE CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND STANDS OUT ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE HOWEVER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
FRONT LAMINATED , REAR UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THIS IS A VERY FLIMSY 60'S SLEEVE, THAT IS USUALLY FOUND SERIOUSLY CREASED, BUT HERE WE HAVE A COPY THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY WELL.
THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THE LAMINATE SHOWS NO DAMAGE TO IT ANYWHERE. THERE IS A SLIVER OF LIFT RUNNING DOWN THE SPINE, BUT NOTHING ELSE
NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS. INCREDIBLY THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, AND JUST ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO TING WEAR, AND ONLY THE ABSOLUTE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% STILL FULLY LAMINATED AND THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM TIP TO TIP
THE SPINE IS STILL VERY FLAT WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL STILL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS USUALLY VERY VERY GRUBBY HAVING A POROUS WHITE SURFACE. THIS COPY HAS ONCE AGAIN STOOD UP VERY WELL. THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH THE ONLY REAL SIGNS OF AGEING AND HANDLING OCCURRING AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES. THE TYPEFACE AND PICTURES ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND VERY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. THE NUMBER 318 HAS BEEN NEATLY HANDWRITTEN IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT AND BARELY WRINKLED
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
