THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TWO ORANGE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 1-2 MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES VISIBLE (BARELY)
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. AND ON SIDE TWO ONE PIN PRICK DULL MARK HALF WAY ACROSS (NON SOUNDING)
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, SOMETHING I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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 BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO STATE IS THAT IT PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE RECORD WAS PLAYED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS. IN ADDITION THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, THERE IS DEFINITELY A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIRST PRESSES AND ALL THE REST. THIS IS BY FAR A CLEARER, LOUDER CUT. EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD TO PERFECTION
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
OTHER THAN A SECOND DURING THE INITIAL RUN IN, THERE IS NO STATIC HEARD ANYWHERE
I DID HEAR ABOUT 3-4 TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS MINT MINUS
ANYWAY PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO IT FOR YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
JAMES UPTON SINGLE LAMINATED SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY UN-CREASED. THE DELICATE LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
THERE ARE JUST FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE
THE TOP EDGE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. FULLY LAMINATED AND FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. THIS INCLUDES THE LEFT AND RIGHT CORNER TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, just one very light finger to thumb impression on the top leading edge.THE LAMINATE IS ONCE AGAIN PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME FABULOUS CONDITION THAT THE FRONT IS IN. AGAIN GLEAMING LAMINATE AND BARELY A PRESSURE LINE ON THE EDGES
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS REMAINED CREASE FREE AND SPLIT FREE. THERE IS SOME NATURAL AGEING TO THE EDGES
THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
