THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE CLASSIC GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THIS LABEL CAN SUFFER FROM STAINING AND SHOWS ALL GREASY FINGERMARKS VERY EASILY. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY 4-5 TINY SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE HOLE TO SHOW THAT THE RECORD HAS HAD JUST A FEW PLAYS. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. THE SURFACE OF BOTH SIDES GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF HANDLING OR ANY UNWANTED MARKS, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES VISIBLE
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I BELIEVE THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD BEFORE DECIDING TO BID OR NOT. I OFFER THIS SERVICE WITH PLEASURE
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AT ALL ANYWHERE, MEANING THE LP WHEN IT WAS PLAYED WAS PLAYED ON A GOOD DECK WITH AN UNWORN STYLUS.
THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS MAGNIFICENT. CLEAR AS A BELL, EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS PRODUCED TO BE HEARD.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE. NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS A LITTLE AND VERY OCCASIONAL STATIC LIKE STUFF HEARD IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
A FEW RANDOM STATIC TICS
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE REPRODUCTION, NEAR MINT AT WORST
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE TEXTURED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
USUALLY FOUND IN VERY POOR CONDITION DUE TO THE FLIMSY NATURE OF THE CARD, AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO LAMINATE TO PROTECT IT FROM STAINING ETC.
HOWEVER WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS JUST ABOUT THE BEST ORIGINAL EXAMPLE I HAVE COME ACROSS. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THERE ARE NO CREASES, OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
IN FACT EVEN THE SMALL ONES FOUND CLOSE TO THE SPINE ARE NOT THERE AT ALL. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE ARE NO MARKS, WRITING, OR STAINS TO SPOIL THE PRESENTATION EITHER, AND IMPORTANTLY NO RING WEAR.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF SHELF WEAR. VERY VERY MILD AND CERTAINLY YOU HAVE TO LOOK HARD TO SPOT ANY.
THE SPINE ALSO HAS A LITTLE LIGHT SHELF RUB, BUT THE TYPEFACE IS STILL LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS PERFECT AND AS SHARP AS A RAZOR. THERE ARE NO THUMB NICKS EITHER, WHICH JUST REALLY GOES TO SHOW THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT.
THE ORIGINAL ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO CREASES, STAINS, MARKS ETC, AND NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS, JUST AGE RELATED BROWNING TO THE EDGES
THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT EASILY
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
