THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABEL ON SIDE A IS IN MINT CONDITION, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS COLOUR WHATSOEVER. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDE OF THE LABEL IS PURE WHITE AND HAS NO MARKS ON IT AT ALL. THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE ON THIS ALBUM. IT IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT THE ONLY VISIBLE MARK IS A SCUFFY NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ACROSS THE SECOND HALF OF SIDE ONE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, AGAIN MAINLY ON SIDE ONE. SIDE TWO LOOKS FLAWLESS
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERSWOULD 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 ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND IT'S CLEAR THE RECORD JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE. EVERY NOTE IS HEARD PERFECTLY AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT, AND NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE VERY ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
SIDE ONE HAS 3-4 TINY DUST POPS / TICS AND SIDE TWO I ONLY HEARD ONE MINUSCULE ONE
THIS RARE DISC GRADES NEAR MINT FOR SIDE ONE, AND MINT MINUS FOR SIDE TWO
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN WITH NO HEAVY CREASING OR DEEP CREASE LINES. THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT, WITH JUST TWO LITTLE WHITE SCUFFS SHOWING ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE.
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR AT ALL.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH LIGHTLY SHELF WORN, WITH THE FOUR CORNERS ALSO LIGHTLY WORN
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. HOWEVER THE BLUE COLOUR HAS RUBBED ALONG THE TOP EDGE IN PATCHES NEAR THE TOP, AND THE BOTTOM INCH HAS ALSO SHELF WORN
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE CONDITION AS THE FRONT WITH SOME LIGHT RING WEAR VISIBLE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE DIECUT INNER SLEEVE HAS LIGHTLY AGED AT THE EDGES, BUT IS OTHERWISE TOTALLY FLAT, UNCREASED, AND UNSPLIT
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
