• THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PASTEL  BLUE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED,  AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE 4-5 TINY SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EITHER SIDE 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF EQUALLY TINY DULL SURFACE 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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS  RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS  RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR EARLY LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS. HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH .

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A  FEW RANDOM SECONDS OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES  AND IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGESAND I CANT EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO  GRADE THIS ALBUM NEAR MINT

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES NOR ARE THERE ANY CREASE LINES EITHER,AND EVERY INCH OF THE DELICATE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND IMPORTANTLY NO FINGER MARKS OR STAINS EITHER

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE. ONE EQUALLY SMALL ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE , NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END HAS A SMALL SPECK OF RUB

THE TOP EDGE HAS AN IMMACULATE COLOURED SURFACE, WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOURS ARE PRISTINE ALL THE WAY ALONG THE SURFACE AND THE RED TYPEFACE IS ALSO IMMACULATE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED 

THE REAR SURFACE ALSO HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS PRESENT AND UNRUBBED.

THE INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT. 

THE POSTER IS ALSO IMMACULATE. HAS NEVER BEEN ON A WALL AND EVERY FOLD LINE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE SLEEVE  GRADES MINT MINUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
