THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TAN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 39 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAY LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS SPARKLING VINYL, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES
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 RECENTLY DECIDED TO RECORD IN FULL EVERY LP THAT I LIST. I KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE ACTUAL ITEM THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON, AND WHILST THIS TAKES ME FAR LONGER THE EFFORT IS WELL WORTH IT IN MY OPINION
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH A CRISP CLEAR AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL. THERE IS NO CRACKLING OR CLICKS EITHER. I CAN'T EVEN SAY I HEARD MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGHOUT THE PLAY.
THERE IS SOME RANDOM AND VERY LIGHT STATIC HEARD IN SOME OF THE QUIETEST PASSAGES.BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL WB GATEFOLD SLEEVE. THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF BEING HARD TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS A VERY POROUS SURFACE. THIS USUALLY LEADS TO STAINING ON THE DELICATE SURFACE, AND MOST COPIES I HAVE SEEN ARE DISCOLOURED AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES. THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW AND HAS THUS ESCAPED ANY AGING AND HANDLING.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE LIGHT BROWN SURFACE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE WHATSOEVER
THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGES HAS VERY MINOR RUBBING TO THE SURFACE
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT'S TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK WHERE THE LP WAS REMOVED
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, AND THIS HAS A DELICATE BLACK FINISH WHICH IS JUST PRISTINE
NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD HSAPE ON EITHER FRONT OR REAR SURFACE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS. THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LOGO IS IN THE CORRECT POSITION BOTTOM LEFT.
INSIDE THE SLEEVE THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER IS IN IMMACULATE UNTOUCHED CONDITION
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OFTEN GOES MISSING IS THE BROWN INNER SLEEVE, WHICH WAS ONLY EVER ISSUED WITH THE FIRST PRESS ALBUMS. LATER COPIES ONLY HAD THE PLAIN WHITE PAPER INNER. THIS ONE IS IN REALLY PRISTINE CONDITION. INCREDIBLY NO SEAM SPLITS AND ITS VERY VERY FLAT AND MARK FREE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
