THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE CBS LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO IT ON BOTH SIDES . THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT 1ST ISSUE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE, OTHER THAN ONE MINUSCULE DULL MARK ON THE OUTER RIM
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 TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION IS THE ONLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE STEREO SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL
NO LOUD CLICKS AND NOT ONE JOT OF VINYL NOISE
I CANT HEAR ANY STATIC WHATSOEVER. JUST A PERFECT REPRODUCTION
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS OF VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE JUST AS SIDE TWO STARTS
NO MORE THAN ONE TINY STATIC TIC THOUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
JUST A PERFECT REPRODUCTION IN EVERY WAY
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SHOREWOOD GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FIRST ISSUE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE LIGHT COLOURED SURFACE HAS REMAINED PERFECT, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE JUST PRISTINE
THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE COLOURED SURFACE IS PRONE TO WEAR BUT THIS COPY IS FLAWLESS.
THERE ARE ZERO!!! LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE PERFECT, UNRUBBED WITH FULL COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM REAR EDGE HAS A LITTLE SHELF WEAR AT THE CORNER AREAS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP SHOWS A LITTLE RUB. PLUS A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF UNDER CARD VISIBLE ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST WHY THE LP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECT PAIR OF INNER PICTURES
THE ORIGINAL ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT, JUST A LITTLE AGEING
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
