THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND SILVER STEREO LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.THE BLUE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNBLEMISHED, WHILST THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED .THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN, AND A CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. BOTH DISCS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION THE DISCS SHOW NO SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS,AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE.
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES BECAUSE THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS QUITE BRILLIANT, AND THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM.
I AM REALLY DELIGHTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VINYL AS I WAS EXPECTING A LITTLE OF THE DECCA VINYL NOISE THAT IS INHERENT IN MANY DISCS OF THIS AGE, BUT NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS.
THERE IS A LITTLE ODD AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, BUT EXTREMELY HARD TO DETECT.
ALSO NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SOUND QUALITY MINT MINUS!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!!!!
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS ROBERT STACE UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD UK SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THE COLOURS ARE JUST PERFECT EVERYWHERE. NO RUBBING AT ALL
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE PERFECT COLOUR WHICH RUNS UNBROKEN FROM CORNER TO CORNER , AND NO RUBBING APART FROM A PIN PRICK ON THE BOTTOM REAR RIGHT TIP END.
THE SPINE IS STILL PERFECTLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS ALL PERFECT, AND THE BLUE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND ALL LEGIBLE. THE ENDS HAVE NO RUBBING TO THEM WHATSOEVER
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND IS FREE OF ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS, ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE IN FACT.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AGAIN PERFECT UNRUBBED COLOUR, WITH JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNERS ARE FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNSPLIT . NO CREASES WHATSOEVER.
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
