THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. UN-RUBBED COLOURS AND TYPEFACE. I CAN BARELY MAKE OUT ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS FIRST PRESS VINYL, HAS A DEEP RICH SHEEN, AND CLEARLY HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, WHILST UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, AND A LITTLE PATCH OF DULL SPECKLES ON SIDE ONE TRACK ONE. A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING DISC.
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 IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
PLAYING THE VINYL YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT, THE CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREOPHONIC REPRODUCTION THAT IS PURE FIRST PRESS.
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS VINYL HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN PLAYED ON A HI-FI SYSTEM THAT HAD CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND BALANCED, AND UNWORN STYLUS.
ALSO PLAYING THIS VINYL YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD POPS OR CLICKS, AND FOR THAT MATTER NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER.
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY STATIC AT ALL, AND JUST ONE TINY STATIC TIC THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY
AND ON THAT BASIS I AM DELIGHTED TO GRADE THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION OF THIS VINYL MINT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
A NEAR IMMACULATE FIRST ISSUE UN-LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THE OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM IS FLAT CLEAN, AND HAS DEEP RICH UNRUBBED COLOURS ACROSS THE SURFACE.
THE CORNERS ARE ALSO SHARP AND VERY SQUARE APART FROM THE TOP RIGHT TIP WHICH HAS A TINY DING
THERE ARE JUST SIX TINY LITTLE LINES NESTLED AGAINST THE SPINE. FIVE MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR OR ANYWHERE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE WHICH USUALLY RUBS BADLY ON THIS PARTICULAR COPY IS IMMACULATE PERFECT COLOURING ALL THE WAY FROM THE LEFT-HAND SIDE TO THE RIGHT CORNERS WITH JUST ONE MINISCULE PINPRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT CORNER. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS EXACTLY THE SAME WHICH IS ALSO PRETTY UNUSUAL
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY UN-SQUASHED. ONCE AGAIN VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE PRESENT, WITH SOME TINY WHITE PIN PRICKS VISIBLE ON THE LEADING EDGE AND AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE DAY THAT THIS SLEEVE WAS PUT TOGETHER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IMMACULATE, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES BY THE SPINE, AND THATS ALL
THE CARD PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO RUBBING, AND NO CREASES
I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
