THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SUPERB MOUNTAIN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE.
THE VINYL
THE MID 70'S SAW VINYL PRESSINGS START TO DETERIORATE DUE TO THE WORLDWIDE OIL CRISIS, AND THOSE GLORIOUS ISSUES OF THE 60'S WERE A THING OF THE PAST. HOWEVER DESPITE THIS MOST OF THE RECORD COMPANIES STILL PRODUCED THE BEST RESULTS POSSIBLE, AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION. IT GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND LOOKS AMAZING. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST SOME WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES FROM THE CARD INNER SLEEVE
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL OF MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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 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 IT SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER
GRADES NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH OFTEN HAS SERIOUS COLOUR LOSS, IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS RETAINED AMAZINGLY VIRTUALLY ALL OF ITS COLOUR, WITH JUST A LIGHT DUSTING OF GREYING NEAR THE EDGES
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR INCREDIBLY NO SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONLY ONE TINY ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE ACROSS THE RIGHT CORNER TIP.
THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SLIVER OF WHITE VISIBLE NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS PRISTINE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNRUBBED AND EVER LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH A FEW NICKS TOWARD'S THE BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE, IS AS NICE AS THE FRONT. ALL THE COLOUR IS THERE, JUST THAT LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE INNER SLEEVE.
THIS INNER SLEEVE WAS ONLY EVER AVAILABLE THE FIRST ISSUES, AND IS MADE OF STRONG CARD. TO FURTHER IDENTIFY IT, THERE IS A THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE.
THE SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. FLAT CLEAN, AND MOST OF ALL UNSPLIT
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
