THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE DARK GREEN SIDES ARE VERY RICH AND VIBRANT, AND HAVE LOST NONE OF THE COLOUR AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOLD AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDES ARE VERY WHITE
I DON'T SEE ANY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
GLEAMING FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL THAT HAS NOT LOST ANY OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW VERY VERY FINE HANDLING 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF DISTORTION CAUSED THROUGH GROOVE WEAR. A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH NOTES BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY.IT IS WORTH POINTING OUT THAT FIRST PRESS RELEASES ALWAYS SOUND BETTER THAN LATER PRESSES. TAKING A LISTEN TO 'THE TWO OF US' SHOULD EASILY CONFIRM THIS.
THERE IS NO SEVERE BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS SOME LIGHT AND RANDOM BACKGROUND STATIC WHICH CAN BE HEARD DURING THE QUIETER MOMENTS, IN PARTICULAR ON THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD
-
THERE ARE ALSO SOME RANDOM LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT MINUS
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR, AND THERE IS NO LAMINATE CREASING AT ALL ON ANY PART, AND AMAZINGLY JUST FOUR MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. ONE MORE ALONG EACH OF THE THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND ONE TINY THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THE BOTTOM LEFT AND RIGHT CORNER TIPS HAVE THE TINIEST BIT OF RUB
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FREE FROM ANY WEAR WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT, AND THE ONLY SPECKS OF RUB IS ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP ENDS
THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT WITH JUST THAT SPECK OF WHITE AT THE VERY BOTTOM TIP END.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS PRECIOUS ALBUM HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. THERE IS A SMALL SPECK OF ROUGHNESS TO THE VERY TOP INCH
THE PLAIN WHITE APPLE TEXT CORRECT INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB UNSPLIT AND ONLY SLIGHTLY AGED CONDITION
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT.
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT!!!
