THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DEEP RED AND SILVER UNBOXED MONO LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE RED BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST 10-12 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY LIGHTLY BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 44 YEARS
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS ONE VISIBLE LIGHT HANDLING LINE IN DAYLIGHT , AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME FINE HANDLING LINESPLAYING 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, BECAUSE 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 INCREDIBLE MONO SOUND COMES THROUGH CRISP AND CLEAR ON ALL TRACKS, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF GROOVEWEAR OR HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND CLICKS WHATSOEVER.
THE REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND THE VINYL ONLY HAS SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND THROUGH SOME OF THE QUIETER MOMENTS AND ON A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS TOWARD'S THE LATER HALF OF EACH SIDE.
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM DUST POPS/TICS
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF THIS SUPERB BLUES ALBUM AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THE PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THERE ARE JUST FIVE TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND 2-3 NEAR INVISIBLE ONES ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, BUT IMPORTANTLY NOT ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW. AND THE FRONT SURFACE STILL HAS A MIRROR FINISH. .
INCREDIBLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE TO THIS VULNERABLE SLEEVE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED FROM CORNER TO CORNER
INCIDENTALLY ALL 4 CORNERS ARE STILL VERY SQUARE AND SHARP
THE SPINE IS VIRTUALLY FLAT AND ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF HALF FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES. THE SPINE HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS, AND EVEN THESE ARE UNWORN EVEN DOWN TO THE TIPS. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY INTACT AND EVERY SINGLE LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE WHICH IS UNLAMINATED IS STILL IN AN AMAZINGLY WHITE CONDITION. THIS ALWAYS LOOKS POOR AND SUFFERS FROM GRUBBINESS VERY EASILY.
SO THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL WHITE AND THE ONLY AREA OF WEAR IS THE BAREST SNIP OF HANDLING NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
ALL OF THE BLACK TEXT AND THE PICTURES HAVE REMAINED ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED
THERE IS THE ORIGINAL OWNERS NAME WRITTEN ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK HAS A TINY CHUNK CHIPPED AWAY FROM THE TOP EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AT ALL ON EITHER FRONT OR REAR SURFACES
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION. A COUPLE OF WRINKLES TO THE CORNERS AND A SHADE OF BROWNING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
