THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND WHITE DERAM LABELS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RED IS RICH AND VIBRANT, WHILST THE WHITE IS GLEAMING AND PURE WHITE AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY BLOTCHES ON SIDE 2 WHICH APPEAR IN THE PIC.
THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED, AND I HAD TO USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO SPOT EVEN THOSE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. YOU CAN TELL THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED JUST BY LOOKING AT HOW THE RECORD STILL GLEAMS. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE EITHER,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO THE SPOTLIGHT ARE THERE A COUPLE OF WISPY LINES TO BE SEEN
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 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 CLARITY IS SUPERB. CLEAR AS A BELL AND HAS A GREAT STEREO SPLIT. THE RECORDINGS SHOULD DEMONSTRATE THIS CLARITY AS WELL AS HIGHLIGHTING THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE MUSIC WHATSOEVER
HAVING FULLY PLAYED THIS SUPERB VINYL I CAN CONFIRM THAT THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER, IN FACT NOT EVEN ANY VINYL NOISE WHICH IS PRETTY RARE ON DERAM PRESSINGS.
THE VINYL IS SPECTACULAR AND APART FROM THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC, AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY, THE VINYL IS SILENT!!
TAKE A LISTEN TO THE 4TH SOUNDBITE WHERE RIGHT AT THE END THE DRUM SOLO GOES DEATHLY QUIET, AND YET THERE IS JUST NO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER, THIS IS A TRUE REPRESENTATION OF THE ENTIRE ALBUM, JUST MAGNIFICENT!!!
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE CLOUT & BAKER SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE NEW AS THE LAMINATE IS HIGHLY POLISHED. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS. THERE ARE JUST 5-6 REALLY TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND ONE SLIGHT LONGER ONE., ONE MORE SMALL ONEALONG THE TOP EDGE.AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. ALSO NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, FLAKE OR LIFT ANYWHERE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNS PERFECTLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS STILL VERY FLAT AND ONLY HAS A LIGHT BIT OF SEMI SQUASHING IN A COUPLE OF PLACES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ONLY THE VERY TIP ENDS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, BEING UNLAMINATED AND WHITE IT IS PRONE TO SERIOUS GRUBBINESS, BUT THIS ONE IS NEAR PERFECT WITH JUST VERY VERY MINUTE TRACES OF HANDLING TO THE VERY PERIMETER EDGES. ALL OF THE BLACK TEXT AND THE PICTURES ARE PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS CLEARLY WHY THIS LP HAS 'JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED'
THE BLUE AND WHITE STEREO INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN THE SAME TOP CONDITION. UNSPLIT SEAMS AND BARELY A CREASE LINE ON IT, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE GLUED EDGES, AND ONE TINY NICK TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
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
