THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, BOTH COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED WITH THE WHITE SECTION REMAINING 'WHITE'
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN WITH JUST 4-5 REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS BARELY PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE WISPY LINES WHICH CAN ONLY BE SEEN WHEN THE DISC IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT, AND A COUPLE MORE UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION
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 FOUR COMPLETE TRACKS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, AND ONE OTHER RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE
I WANTED TO ALLOW BIDDERS TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THE REPRODUCTION IS LIKE, AND PARTICULARLY THE QUIET PASSAGES AND LINKING GROOVES
THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER. NO CLICKS , JUST THE OCCASIONAL SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE VINYL NOISE, AND A COUPLE OF VERY TINY DUST POPS
THE PERFORMANCE I AM SURE YOU WILL AGREE ONCE YOU HAVE HEARD THE RECORDINGS IS MAGNIFICENT, AND SO IT SHOULD BE ON THIS BARELY PLAYED VINYL
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
FLIMSY NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND NTHERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS
THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF RUBBING, AN PARTICULARLY NO RING WEAR.
THERE IS THE BAREST OUTLINE OF RECORD SHAPE AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASE LINES IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
THERE ARE NONE OF THE SMALL LINES USUALLY FOUND NEAR THE SPINE, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. THE TOP EDGE HAS THE SAME TYPEFACE ALONG IT AS IS ON THE SPINE
THE SPINE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVEY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE
THE ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
