THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE, PURPLE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNMOLESTED CONDITION. THE WHITE BASE COLOUR IS PURE WHITE AND VIBRANT, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE COLOURED SECTION IS ALSO PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.THERE IS ONE LIGHT TAN MINUSCULE BLOTCH ON SIDE 2 WHICH YOU CAN REALLY ONLY SEE USING A MACRO LENS BUT BARELY WITH THE NAKED EYE. IT SITS JUST BEHIND THE CATALOGUE NUMBER. EVEN USING A MGNIFYING GLASS I CAN BERALY SPOT 2-3 NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS A ROCK SOLID BARELY FLEXIBLE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTER HAS BEEN RETAINED
THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE VINYL WHATSOEVER AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN ONE OR TWO WISPY HAIRLINES, AND TWO MINUSCULE NON SOUNDING AND BARELY VISIBLE HANDLING LINES ON SIDE ONE
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 NOW DO WITH ALL THE VINYL I LIST. I AM CERTAIN THAT BIDDERS WILL WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. IT'S 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 IT SOUNDS.
I CANNOT FAULT THE PLAYTHROUGH OF THIS ALBUM. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, SHOWING THAT THE COUPLE OF TIMES THIS VINYL HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE IT WAS PLAYED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER.
A TINY TINY SPECK OF STATIC VINYL NOISE INBETWEEN SOME OF THE TRACKS, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS JUST INCREDIBLE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT PLUS!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!!
THE SLEEVE
BEAUTIFUL FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM THE UPTON GROUP
THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND HAS NO CREASES OR BENDS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE.IT IHAS ALSO REMAINED VERY WHITE, AND THE ONLY OTHER COPY OF THIS I HAVE SEEN WAS VERY 'YELLOW' ON THE FRONT.
THERE ARE JUST SIX REALLY TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND ONE BARELY VISIBLE ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND EVEN SMALLER AND LESS VISIBLE ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY UNWORN, WITH JUST A FEW TINY TINY CHIPS TO THE LAMINATE VISIBLE UNDER VERY CLOSE SCRUTINY, WITH THE BOTTOM TWO CORNER TIPS LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE SPINE IS ALSO FULLY LAMINATED , TOTALLY FLAT AND THERE IS NO PEEL OR FLAKE TO THE SURFACE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.JUST THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED A COUPLE OF TIMES.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND ONLY3 SMALL LAMINATES LINE NEAR THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL WHITE DIE CUT POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS A LITTLE WORSE FOR WEAR AS IT HAS SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE WITH THE CORNERS FOLDED FOR ALL THESE YEARS, TO THE TWO LEFT CORNERS ARE CREASED, AND THE DIE CUT HOLE HAS A TEAR LINE, BUT THIS IS THE GENUINE AND CORRECT INNER SLEEVE WITH 'MADE IN ENGLAND' IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND 'BRITISH PATENT No 800516 &973939 107 ' IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
