THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE THRESHOLD LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST PERFECT. NO MARKS OR STAINS, OR SIGNS OF HANDLING, JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ON A RECORD THAT HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR 38 YEARS
THE SILVER LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. ZERO!!! SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING PRISTINE VINYL. HAS A MIRROR LIKE FINISH TO IT, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE DISC, AND EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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 WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
DUE TO THE MANY SILENT PASSAGES ON THIS LP, ANY NOISE AT ALL WILL BE DETECTED, AND I WOULD SAY THIS:-
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. I STRESS THIS IS REALLY RARE ON THIS SLEEVE. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS!!
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE. NO SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS THE DELICATE BLUE COLOUR STRETCHING ACROSS THE THE SLEEVE FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VIRTUALLY MINT WITH JUST A SPECK OD RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR IS THERE, AND ONLY THE VERY BOTTOM TIP END SHOWS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS, WHICH IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FROM NEW
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT CONDITION INNER PANELS
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION TUCKED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO LINES NEAR ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES. CORNER
THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE UNSPLIT, UNCREASED, AND PERFECTLY FLAT.
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
