THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE PINK SCROLL CHARISMA LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.  THE PINK BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, NO  LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE WHATSOEVER. IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD LOOKS IMMACULATE AND UNBLEMISHED IN ANY WAY, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES

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 AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 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.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, WITH THE ACOUSTIC GUITARS SOUNDING ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS GLORIOUS SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AT ALL, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC. A CRYSTAL CLEAR GEORGE PECKHAM CUT!!

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL EITHER

THERE ARE ZERO!!  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH AND ON THAT BASIS I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!!

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF IT'S QUALITY

THE SLEEVE

MAGNIFICENT LIGHTLY TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

MOST COPIES OF THIS SLEEVE YOU WILL COME ACROSS WITH BE VERY HEAVILY WORN, AND THE TEXTURED SURFACE RINGWORN. THE SPINE AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WILL MOSTLY BE WORN AWAY AND THE TYPEFACE BARELY LEGIBLE IF AT ALL

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNMARKED. THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS JUST IMMACULATE, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE FROM NEW, THE DEEP RICH COLOURS ARE ALL PERFECT AND THERE IS NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER. NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES , AND AMAZINGLY NOT ONE SMALL LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NOR ARE THERE ANY OTHER LINES NEAR THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH INCREDIBLE. EVERY COPY OF THIS I HAVE HANDLED HAS HAS SHELF WEAR AS THIS SURFACE IS SO EASILY RUBBED. HERE HOWEVER BOTH EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED AND ONLY THE RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING TO THEM

THE SPINE IS JUST AMAZING. THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE SEEN. THE MAUVE SURFACE IS STILL RICH AND HASN'T WORN WHATSOEVER. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY SINGLE LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND AL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. JUST  ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM TIP

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP, NOT EVEN ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS STUNNING AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO SMALL LINES ANYWHERE

NO RECORD SHAPE NO RING WEAR!!!

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT PLAIN WHITE INNER WITH 'MADE IN ENGLAND IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. ITS UNSPLIT, AND VERY FLAT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
