THE LABELS
THE MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.
THE SILVER LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION ON BOTH DISCS, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE SOME TINY SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLES,
THE VINYL
THIS SET IS NOT AT THE USUAL NEAR MINT OR ABOVE GRADE THAT I LIST, BUT DUE TO THE RARITY OF THE ALBUM, AND THE FACT THAT IT PLAYS PROPERLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH , I HAVE MADE IT AVAILABLE
IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TO BE IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL SHEEN HAS BEEN RETAINED DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SURFACE MARKS
UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS SMALL SURFACE HAIRLINES, AND SOME LONGER BUT AGAIN SURFACE HANDLING LINES. NONE OF THESE ARE FEELABLE AND DESPITE MAKING THE VINYL LOOK MARKED ARE MOSTLY JUST NON SOUNDING
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A 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 LP SET 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 RECORDS BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE FIRST AN I BELIEVE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO STATE IS THAT THIS ALBUM PLAYS ON ALL FOUR SIDES WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT DESPITE THE LIGHT VINYL SURFACE LINES, THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT DID NOT HAVE A WORN OR HEAVY STYLUS. THEREFORE NO DAMAGE TO THE GROOVES
THERE IS ONE TINY SKIP OF ONE GROVE TO THE NEXT ON SIDE D (HALFWAY THROUGH THE 3RD TRACK)
THERE IS NO FRYING BACON SOUND ANYWHERE, AND THE CLARITY OF THE PRESSING IS STILL LOUD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR
YOU WILL HEAR SOME RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAY, THERE ARE SOME REPEATING REVOLUTION TICS ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS (AGAIN FAIRLY LIGHT)
NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL
I WOULD SAY THAT 90% OF THE VINYL PLAYS TO A HIGH GRADE, AND THE OTHER 10% IS LIGHTLY MARRED WITH TICS AND POPS
THERE IS THE VERY ODD LIGHT SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO GIVE THIS A FULL PLAYTHROUGH TO SEE IF IT SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT IN YOUR COLLECTION
I WOULD SAY THAT THE VINYL PLAYS BETWEEN VG+ AND EX
BUT AS I SAY TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
E.J DAY AND CO LAMINATED GATEFOLD
THE FRONT SURFACE DESPITE SOME LIGHT CREASE LINES HAS RETAINED A STRONG MIRROR LIKE SHEEN TO THE SURFACE.
THERE IS RUBBING AND WEAR TO THE CORNER TIPS
THERE ARE SEVEN SMALL LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, FOUR SMALL ONES ON THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE LONG ONE THAT CROSSES THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. SEVEN ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND FOUR SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES SHOW RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS , AND SOME FURTHER PATCHY RUBBING ELSEWHERE ALONG THE SURFACES, MOSTLY ON THE TOP EDGE
THE SPINE IS ONLY HAS THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS SHOWING RUB AND WEAR, THE REST OF THE SURFACE IS IN GREAT SHAPE
THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE ONLY LIGHTLY BURRED. NO TEARS OR SPLITS
THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT SURFACE, HAVING MAINLY SMALL LAMINATE LINES AROUND THE EDGES WITH A COUPLE OF LONGER OINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A FULLY LAMINATED AND GLOSSY PAIR OF PANELS WHICH LIKE THE OUTER SURFACES SHOW SOME LIGHT LAMINATE CREASE LINES
THE TWO POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES ARE FLAT AND CLEAN AND BARELY HAVE A CREASE LINE ON THEM.THEY ARE BOTH STILL VERY WHITE WITH SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES, AND A SMALL TEAR TO ONE OF THE DIE CUT HOLES
THE SLEEVE GRADES VG+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
