Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com THE RECORDSTHE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN SUPER CONDITION. DEEP RICH RED COLOUR WITH JUST ONE LITTLE BIT OF RUB ON SIDE 2.THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING. THERE ARE 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE .
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS A SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT DISC ,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF THIN AND FINE HANDLING LINES NOTHING FEELABLE OR LARGE
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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH, AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS INCREDIBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, DELIVERING A POWERFUL AND CRYSTAL CLEAR MONO SOUND
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO LOUD POPS AND ONLY A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD ABOUT 3-4 TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS / POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, CERTAINLY NOTHING TO MAR THE SUPERB MONO REPRODUCTION OF THIS GREAT ALBUM
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS EX+
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE MADE BY ST JAMES PRESS
THIS IS A FLIMSY AND THIN FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE, AND HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME FAR BETTER THAN MANY I HAVE SEEN. THE LAMINATE IS ALMOST PERFECT WITH JUST A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONGSIDE THE SPINE. NO PEEL OR FLAKE
WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT THERE IS A LIGHT OUTLINE OF RECORD SHAPE, AND UNDER THE LAMINATE THE SURFACE HAS AGED LIGHTLY WITH A COUPLE OF TINY STAIN LINES ON THE SPINE
NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
EIGHT TINY LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FULLY LAMINATED , THE TOP EDGE IS SMOOTH ALL THE WAY ALONG IT, WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SMOOTH ALL THE WAY AS WELL WITH A PIN PRICK ON EACH TIP END.
THE WAFER THIN LAMINATED SPINE IS A LITTLE SQUASHED IN PLACES AND HAS SOME ROUGHNESS WHERE THE LINES BY THE SPINE HAVE CREPT ROUND
THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO VERY SHARP STILL, AND A LITTLE WAVY
THE NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE SHOWS NATURAL AGEING AND LIGHT HANDLING WITH NA LITTLE RING WEAR
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NICE CONDITION. LIGHT CORNER WRINKLES. NO SEAM SPLITS, A LITTLE NICK TO THE DIE CUT HOLE, AND AGEING
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
