THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE CBS LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST TW0 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLES INDICATING THAT THIS SET HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE VINYL
TWO GLEAMING HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISCS, THAT LOOK AS GOOD AS THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED. IT IS CLEAR THAT THESE LP'S HAVE HARDLY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. THE VINYL IS JUST STUNNING, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY WISPS
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 ALL FOUR SIDES, AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS PERFORMANCE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS QUITE MAGNIFICENT. CRISP CLEAN AND VERY CLEAR, AND PURE FIRST PRESS.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
NO STATIC EITHER
THERE ARE ONLY A FEW (3-4) RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUHG
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD MACNEILL PRESS SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS, DENTS ETC
THERE ARE JUST THREE TINY AND BARELY VISIBLE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED RIGHT ACROSS ALL FOUR SURFACES, WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND SQUASH FREE. THE BLACK TYPRFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP END
THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY WHITE STIL, WITH JUST A TRACE OF NATURAL HANDLING AND A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE TWO INNER SURFACES WHICH ARE BOTH IN TOP CONDITION
THE TWO ADVERTISING INNERS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. FLAT AND BARELY A CREASE LINE ON THEM
THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY DEPICT WHY THIS LP SET IS IN THE MAGNIFICENT CONDITION THAT IT IS
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
