THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE WHITE AREA IS VERY WHITE WITH JUST UNUSUALLY NO DISCOLOURISATION AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED AREA IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE, APART FROM A VERY LIGHT NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
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. I HAVE DECIDED THAT THIS EXTRA EFFORT AND TIME IS WORTH IT TO BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE QUALITY OF THE VINYLS I OFFER. A VERY VALID ARGUMENT IS MADE ABOUT BUYING FROM EBAY, WITH SELLERS MISDESCRIBING THE RECORDS THAT THEY OFFER. WELL HERE YOU CAN SEE, READ ABOUT, AND NOW HEAR WHAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON. I HOPE YOU AGREE THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT PROPERLY.
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION, NO SEVERE BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS SOME OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE DUST POPS/TICS HERE AND THERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THIS IS THE FIRST PRESS UNLAMINATED SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE AND UNLIKE MOST HAS NO HEAVILY CREASED. IN FACT THERE ARE NO CREASES AT ALL JUST TWO SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND A TINY SPECK OF BROWNING ALONG THE SPINE EDGE.
ONE SMALL LINE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE JUST HAS A SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A FEW WHITE FLECKS SHOWING ELSEWHERE.
THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION.WITH ONE SLIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. THE SURFACE HAS LIGHTLY BROWNED IN COMPARISON THE TO THE WHITE FRONT SURFACE, AND THERE IS A BIT OF LIGHT RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS EXTREMELY SHARP. WITH A COUPLE OF TINY BURRS TO THE FRONT EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A SUPERB PAIR OF INNER PANELS WITH A BLACK SURFACE THAT IS UNRUBBED
THE DECCA POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNCREASED .IT HAS A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE AND GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES, BUT IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
