THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
SUPERB MINT CONDITION ORANGE CBS LABELS. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK OR SPIDER LINE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL IS IMMACULATE. LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED 40 YEARS AGO. IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT IN DAYLIGHT. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NONE OF THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES OR SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER PLACED IT INTO A POLY LINED INNER FROM DAY ONE. THERE IS A LONG ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE WHICH IS ONLY VISIBLE UNDER LED. I SUSPECT THIS WAS DONE IN THE RECORD STORE PRIOR TO PURCHASE WHERE I CAN ONLY SURMISE THAT SOME ONE LIGHTLY BRUSHED THE SURFACE WITH A FINGER NAIL. I STRESS THIS IS TOTALLY 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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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.
THIS VINYL PLAYS INCREDIBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
I HAVE HAD MINT COPIES OF THIS ALBUM BEFORE AND LIKE ALL OF THE OTHERS THERE IS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND BARELY AUDIBLE BUT HEARD OCCASIONALLY INSIDE SOME OF THE MOST SILENT MOMENTS LIKE INKLING GROOVES
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON THE VINYL THAT WOULD CAUSE ANY OF THIS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SHOREWOOD SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR SCRATCHES. AMAZINGLY THERE IS A NO TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE,WHICH USUALLY BLIGHTS THIS SLEEVE. THERE IS A TINY WHITE DING TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP
THERE ARE JUST 4 TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO MINUSCULE ONES ON THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE SPECKS ON THE BLUE SURFACE , WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VERY SIMILAR
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT, RAZOR SHARP
THE SPINE IS ALSO NEAR PRISTINE. NO RUBBING AT THE TIPS, EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO SQUASHING AT ALL AT ANY POINT ON THE SPINE, JUST A VERY MILD FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION IN THE MIDDLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY RECORD SHAPE , JUST THREE TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE
THE ONE SHEET LYRIC INSERT IS FLAT AND UNCREASED. AND IN MINT CONDITION
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE ONLY HAS SOME VERY LIGHT GLUE AGEING TO THE TOP EDGE
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
