TIM HOLLIER - MESSAGE TO A HARLEQUIN
UNITED ARTISTS - PLAYS NEAR MINT
1968 ORIGINAL STEREO 1ST PRESS
VG+ SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS AND A COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. AND LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS NEAR FAULTLESS, JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY. THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AND A CRACKING DISTORTION AND CRACKLE FREE PERFORMANCE.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WERE A COUPLE OF TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT STATIC TICS AND A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB PRESSING AND BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT. NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE UNFORTUNATELY IS NOT IN THE SAME MINT STATE AS THE ALBUM.THERE IS A TEAR IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT THE SEPERATION LINE STILL SHOWS
WHILST THE SLEEVE IS A LITTLE BATTERED, THE ALBUM INSIDE WAS HARDLY EVER TAKEN OUT HENCE THE AMAZING CONDITION OF THE VINYL
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SIX PRESSURE LINES ALONG THE SPINER., A SIMILAR AMOUNT ON THE TOP EDGE AND THE SAME AGIN ON THE BOTTOM EDGE.
THERE IS A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE ALSO
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH A DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW CHIPS TO THE LAMINATE AND SOME RUB AT THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PRESSURE LINES FROM THE FRONT WHICH HAVE CREPT ONTO THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS FEATHERED
THE REAR SURFACE HAS SOME HANDLING AND LIGHT SOILING TO THE WHITENESS AND A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES VG+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
