THE RECORD
SUPERB AUDIO - PLEASE LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS
THE LABELS
THE MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THEM AT ALL. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND ACTUALLY HAS RESUDUE VINYL INSIDE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED. THERE ARE 3-4 VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, PROVING THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED SINCE 1971
THE VINYLA SUPERB ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS VINYL. IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED, AND IT'S ONLY WHEN YOU PLACE IT UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THAT A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES CAN BARELY BEE 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 FOUR THREE MINUTE SECTIONS FROM THE LP, WHICH CONSISTS OF BOTH OPENING TRACKS TO EACH SIDE INCLUDING THE DEAD WAX, AND ONE FURTHER TRACK FROM EACH SIDE INCLUDING THE PRECEEDING RUN IN. THIS SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO UNDERSTAND HOW CLEAN THE SOUND IS
THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS PURE "FIRST PRESS" AND DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS EVER!!
AS THE OPENING TRACK STARTS TO PLAY IT IS CLEAR THAT THE LP IS PLAYING WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED IF IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS WORN OR FAR TOO HEAVY. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND THE SOUND IS PERFECTLY CLEAN. . THIS SUPERB PERFORMANCE CONTINUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, THE ONLY UNWANTED NOISES I DETECTED WAS A COUPLE OF RANDOM VERY LIGHT DUST POPS IN A COUPLE OF PLACES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS STUNNING VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL MACNEILL SLEEVE
IT IS IN OVERALL VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. THE EDGES HAVE SOME SHELF WEAR AND THAT IS WHAT SLIGHTLY DETRACTS FROM THE CONDITION. THERE IS ALSO A SHADE OF RING WEAR AT THE BOTTOM, BUT OVERALL THE SLEEVE GRADES AS VERY GOOD. I AM SURE A BETTER ON CAN BE OBTAINED TO MATCH THE FANTASTIC RECORD AND INNER SLEEVE
THE INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPER CONDITION, AND NOW VERY SOUGHT AFTER AS A COLLECTIBLE IN IT'S OWN RIGHT. ONLY THE VERY FIRST ISSUES OF THIS LP HAS THIS INNER SLEEVE INSIDE IT
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. VIRTUALLY NO CREASES WHATSOEVER, AND NO SPLITS, JUST A SMALL TEAR ON ONE INNER RIM
I
THE VINYL WOULD BE HARD TO UPGRADE FROM
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
