THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE FIRST PRESS WHITE CBS LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, AND IMPORTANTLY 'VERY WHITE' AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS IN MINT UNRUBBED CONDITION., PLUS THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL SET IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RETAINED, AND IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT ONE MARK TO BE SEEN, IT'S ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.
UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS SOME TOTALLY NON SOUNDING DULL EMBEDDED MOTTLING IN THE VINYL AND A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES ON DISC ONE
PLAYING THE RECORD
WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON
THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYBACK, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAN WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO
THERE IS NO STATIC AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT, AND I CANNOT EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 4-5 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT ON YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SHOREWOOD SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH OFTEN HAS COLOUR LOSS, IS JUST SUPERB. RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED.
ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE INTACT AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ANY BENDS OR DINGS, AND JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC HAIRLINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL DOUBLE ALBUM STICKER IS PERFECTLY ADHERED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEAR PRISTINE WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH
THE SPINE IS IS PERFECTLY SQUARE, HAS NO VERY MILD RUBBING OR COLOUR LOSS . TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP'S HAVE NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE VERY OFTEN
THE REAR SURFACE DOES HAVE A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF HANDLING AND AGEING TO THE EDGES

I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
