THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES ROUND IT AT ALL
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAD BEEN UNTOUCHED INSIDE THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE FOR MANY YEARS AND WHEN I EXTRACTED IT THERE WAS A LIGHT HERRINGBONE EFFECT ON THE VINYL FROM THE CHEMICAL SWEAT FROM THE PVC. I HAVE A VPI TYPHOON CLEANER AND THIS HAS TAKEN ALMOST ALL OF IT OFF OF THE SURFACE. THERE IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF IT ON THE OUTER RIM, THE DEAD WAX INNER RIM AND SPORADIC FLECKS ON THE LINKING GROOVES. HOWEVER IT DOES NOT SOUND SO THE RECORD PLAYS PERFECTLY. EVEN THE RUN OUT WHERE I EXPECTED THERE TO BE A BIT OF NOISE WAS SILENT. OTHER THAN THIS THE VINYL SHOW NO MARKS AND NO 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 RECORDED THE WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH SO THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER CAN HEAR THE EXACT RECORD BEFORE DECIDING TO BID OR NOT. I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER THIS SERVICE FOR MY CUSTOMERS.
THIS LP PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
MEANING THAT WHEN THIS WAS PLAYED, THE STYLUS USED WAS UNDAMAGED AND TRACKING AT THE CORRECT WEIGHT.
THERE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAN AND CLEAR AS A BELL.
THERE IS NOT A JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE ANYWHERE.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
I CANNOT EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC.
I DEFINITELY DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORW THAN TINY LITTLE ONE DUST POP WHICH WAS IN THE LINKING GROOVE BETWEEN TRACKS 2-3 ON SIDE TWO
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED E.J.DAY SINGLE SLEEVE
ANOTHER VERY HARD SLEEVE TO GET IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE DUSTY NON LAMINATED COLOURED SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY FOUND VERY BADLY RUBBED. THIS ONE IS A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS.
THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOURS AT ALL AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE. THERE IS A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF NATURAL HANDLING.
THERE ARE SIX MINUSCULE AND BARELY VISIBLE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH THE TOP EDGE BEING PRISTINE, AND THE BOTTOM A VERY LIGHT BIT OF RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER.
THE SPINE IS ALSO UNRUBBED, FLAT AND CLEAN WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. NOT FADED AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT.
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM COVER NEAR MINT
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
