THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES THAT ARE OTHERWISE INVISIBLE. ALSO A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISBLE HANDLING LINES
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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WAHT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMOSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT A JOT OF DISTORTION AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES
THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN THE QUIETEST MOMENT AND THEN ONLY WHEN VERY CLOSE TO THE SPEAKERS. MOVING TO NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE EVEN THIS CANNOT BE HEARD
THERE ARE THREE SMALL POPS IN THE LINKING GROVE BETWEEN TRACKS 2,3 ON SIDE ONE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE ORIGINAL SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.NO RING WEAR,
THERE ARE A FEW SMALL LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE AND ALSO ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. ONE TINY SLIVER OF COLOUR LOSS JUST ABOVE PHIL'S LEFT SHOULDER CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS VERY MILD SPORADIC SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SLIGHTLY MORE
THE SPINE ALSO HAS MILD SHELF WEAR, BUT MOST OF THE COLOUR IS INTACT, AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE WHICH MORE OFTEN THAN NOT SUFFERS FROM RUBBING.THERE IS A TINY STICKER REMOVAL MARK TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND THOSE LITTLE PERIMETER EDGE LINES THE SAME AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION
THE RARE INSERT SHEET IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
