THE RECORD
THE LABELS
SUPERB JET BLACK TRACK LABEL WITH SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE SPINDLE HOLE AND YOU WILL SEE A REMAINING SHARD OF VINYL STICKING ACCORSS THE HOLE. THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AS THE SHARD WOULD HAVE RUBBED OFF WITH FREQUENT PLAY. THERE ARE JUST TWO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTER AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT THE ONLY THING I CAN SEE IS ONE VERY WISPY HAIRLINE ON SIDE ONE, CERTAINLY NON SOUNDING. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW 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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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 MT 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 SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS, JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC MAINLY DURING THE RUN IN TO EACH SIDE. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT.
THIS IS A REAL GEM
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEINGS HEARD EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED
IT'S A CRACKING ORIGINAL 1971 FIRST PRESS, AND IN A VERY VERY COLLECTIBLE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS
FIRST ISSUE SLEEVES HAVE THE MACNEILL WORDING VERTICALLY ON THE BACK SURFACE ON THE RIGHT HAND SPINE. THERE IS ALSO A CODE HIDDEN AMONGST THE CLOUDS ON THE FRONT SURFACE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY PEN MARKS OR STAINS. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. AND THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED.
THERE ARE AFEW TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND A COUPLE OF WHITE CHIPS TO THE LEADING EDGE OF THE SPINE. ONE TINY LINE ACROSS THE VERY TIP TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR
THE SPINE HAS LOST SOME OF THE BLACK AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES, HOEVER ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS A FEW LIGHT LINES AND A COUPLE OF SMALL SCUFFS TO THE BLACK SURFACE
THE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
