THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE PHILIPS LABELS HAVE A DEEP BLUE BASE COLOUR
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S, THERE ARE A FEW FOXING MOTTLES
THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY LITTLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE .
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EXACTLY THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION.IT HAS PERHAPS A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AT WORST. A STUNNING EXAMPLE
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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND JUST SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES AND SOME LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY LITTLE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS BARELY PLAYED ALBUM HAS A GRADE OF NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER ON THE MAIN BODY OF THE SURFACE AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.
THE SPINE HAS SIX LAMINATE LINES ALONG THE EDGE. EIGHT TINY ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND SEVEN ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE AND IT'S EVIDENT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS ON EITHER EDGE, AND THE DELICATE LAMINATE RUNS ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE VERY RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS HOWEVER SOME BROWN LINES ACROSS THE SURFACE WHERE THE LINES ON THE FRONT BY THE SPINE HAVE CREPT ROUND AND AGED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK VISIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. LIGHT WRINKLES ONLY
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
