THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE WHITE AND BLUE LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS ONLY 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES NEXT TO IT
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES.
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, JUST A LITTLE LIGHT STATIC VERY OCCASIONALLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A FEW TINY STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS AND CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR . THERE IS A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP, AND A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THERE ARE THREE TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE BLACK COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE RIGHT END. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT WITH A COUPLE OF TINY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP, THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH A COUPLE OF THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS JUST A FEW LINES AGAINST THE SPINE AND A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE, PLUS ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE ACROSS THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN NICE CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES.JUST SOME LIGHT HANDLING AND AGEING AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
