BACK IN THE 70'S RECORD SHOPS LIKE W.H SMITHS SOLD NUMBERING SYSTEMS SO THAT COLLECTORS COULD CATALOGUE THEIR RECORDS. IT INVOLVED A SHEET OF GUMMY NUMBERS IN SMALL SQUARES, WHICH WERE PLACED ON THE ALBUM SLEEVE. THE CORRESPONDING NUMBER WAS ALSO ON A RECORD CARD WHICH THE OWNER FILLED IN WITH THE ALBUM DETAILS. WHILST THIS DOES CAUSE A SMALL RESIDUAL MARK ON THE SLEEVE, ANYONE WHO COLLECTED RECORDS IN THIS WAY USUALLY CARED FOR THEM AND PROTECTED THEM LIKE THEY WERE THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THEIR LIVES.
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NOT ONE MARK ON THEM, AND THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
ALL OF THE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND ARE ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE ONEACH SIDE, AND I HAD TO USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO SPOT THEM
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS VIRTUALLY NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE NON SOUNDING ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINE ON SIDE FOUR TRACK FOUR.
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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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
THE TWO DISK VINYLS PLAY WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB
AN ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
A SUPERB VINYL THAT PERFORMS TO AN EXTREMELY HIGH COLLECTIBLE GRADE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT!!! MINT MINUS AT THE VERY LOWEST
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED LIGHTLY TEXTURED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE
VERY HARD TO FIND IN TOP CONDITION DUE TO THE TEXTURED BLACK SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY BADLY WORN ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK, AND SHOWS UP EVERY CREASE LINE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE DELICATE AND EASILY WORN BLACK COLOUR IS PRISTINE.
THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THIS BLACK AREA WHATSOEVER, AND IT IS STILL VERY CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NO RUBBING TO THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE WHATSOEVER WHICH RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. HAS ALL OF THE DELICATE AND EASILY RUBBED BLACK COLOUR PRISTINE AND MINT, THE WHITE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. IMMACULATE
THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS SO CLEAR THAT THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, WITH JUST ONE TINY LINE ALONG THE TOP EDGE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY MINT PANELS AND A 4 PAGE BOOKLET THAT IS ALSO IMMACULATE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS, VERY WHITE AND UNCREASED, TOTALLY PRISTINE IN FACT
I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE SLEEVE MINT!!!!!
IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
