THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE HARVEST LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH I ONLY SPOTTED WHEN I PUT THE ALBUM UP TO A SPOT BULB. CLEARLY THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER HAD A COUPLE OF VERY CAREFUL PLAYS
THE VINYL
SUPERB ALBUM WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLOSS. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS BRILLIANT DISC,AND IN DAY LIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, IT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
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, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED. THE REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR, AND THE LP PERFORMS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO STATIC EITHER
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY STATIC OR VINYL NOISE, AND I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH.
THERE IS ONE TINY FLAW ON THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE 1. THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED THE DISC MY STYLUS STUCK DURING THE LYRIC 'I'M SUCH A LUCKY MAN' I TRACK AT 1.5G SO I REDUCED THE TRACKING TO 1.25 AND IT PASSED OVER AND COMPLETED THE LYRIC. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE IS A BLEMISH IN THE VINYL, AS THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THE DISC, SO ALL YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IS TO TRACK VERY LIGHTLY ON THIS SIDE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE FIRST PRESS GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE .
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING OR RING WEAR, OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE TO SPOIL THE APPEARANCE.
CLEARLY THE LP HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW, AS THERE IS NOT ONE CREASE LINES OR BEND AT ALL IN THE SURFACE. EVEN THE TINY LINES THAT FORM NEAR THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST THREE NEAR INVISIBLE ONES.
THERE IS THE TINIEST DING TO THE VERY TIP END OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% UNWORN (APART FROM THE VERY BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END) AND HAVE BEEN FULLY PROTECTED BY THE PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW.
THE SPINE IS SUPERB. FLAT AND ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS, AND A COUPLE OF TINY INDENTS TO THE SPINE SURFACE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP AND AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE COVER.THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICK ON THE FRONT EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUBLIME CONDITION. THE DELICATE BLACK AREAS ARE NEAR PRISTINE, WITH JUST A SHADE OF RUB ALONG THE TOP EDGE IN THE CENTRE, AND A SPECK ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND AS PER THE FRONT NO CREASES OR MARKS, AND ONLY THE ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE
THE INNER SLEEVE IS A CARD INNER WITH A THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ROUNDED CORNERS. THIS IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT CONDITION. ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK COLOUR IS THERE, AND THERE IS NO CREASING, JUST A FEW TINY LINES NEAR THE EDGES
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
I AM CERTAIN THIS LP AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
